Simple Monsoon Care Helps Bengaluru’s Street Dogs Survive

Bengaluru’s street dogs can have a hard time during the rainy season.

People can help by making a small, dry shelter from a cardboard box and plastic sheet.

The shelter should be placed somewhere raised and protected from rain.

Dogs also need food that stays dry and is easy to digest.

Clean water in a covered bowl is safer than drinking from puddles.

People can use a simple first-aid kit for small wounds or ticks.

They should not give medicines like antibiotics or ivermectin without knowing the dog’s weight and consulting a professional.

Dogs with serious wounds, breathing trouble, pale gums, or swollen limbs need a vet or animal rescue group.

Small acts of care can help community dogs survive the monsoon.
