What's the story?
Holi, the festival of colors, is a time when friends and family celebrate love and affection.
However, even during the festival, it is very important not to forget about the health of your beloved pet.
Holi's loud noises, colorful powder, and chaotic environment can be overwhelming and dangerous for animals.
Explore tips to ensure a safe and stress-free celebration for your furry friends.
indoor shelter
During Holi, it is best to keep your pet indoors in a safe and comfortable environment.
Loud music and enthusiasm can scare animals and cause anxiety and stress.
Designate a quiet room in your home where your pet can seek refuge if he or she becomes overwhelmed.
Make sure all windows and doors are securely closed to avoid running away in response to loud noises or sudden commotion.
avoid colors
Holy collars often contain synthetic or toxic chemicals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, which can be harmful if ingested by pets.
Puppies, older dogs, and dogs with short coats are more likely to ingest these colors than longer-coated breeds because areas of their bodies with sparser coats are often affected.

Pet owners should take proactive measures to protect their dogs from potential dangers during Holi.
It is important to keep pets away from children, as it can hurt their eyes if they accidentally throw a water balloon.
If your dog is hit by a balloon, immediately wash his eyes with clean water and watch for signs of irritation.
use dog treats
Both colors and sweets pose potential risks to your pet's health during Holi.
It's important to realize that sweet foods may not be to your dog's liking and can cause stomach problems.
Consider purchasing special dog treats as a safer alternative.
When you take your dog for a walk the morning after Holi, use a muzzle to prevent him from accidentally licking the colors spread on the road or park.
