How to Care for Pets in Different Seasons and Weather Conditions

Pets, like humans, experience changes in behavior, comfort, and health with shifting weather conditions. From scorching summers to chilly winters and unpredictable monsoons, each season brings unique challenges for your furry companions. Understanding seasonal pet care not only ensures their comfort but also supports long-term wellness.

Here’s a seasonal guide to keeping your dogs and cats safe, healthy, and happy throughout the year.

1. Summer: Beat the Heat

Challenges:
 High temperatures can lead to dehydration, heatstroke, itchy skin, and fatigue in pets.

Tips for Summer Pet Care:

  • Hydration is key: Always keep clean, cool water accessible.
  • Avoid midday walks: Choose early morning or late evening walks to prevent overheating.
  • Watch out for hot surfaces: Asphalt can burn paw pads; use booties or avoid long walks.
  • Use cooling mats or fans: Help your pet stay cool indoors.
  • Grooming matters: Regular brushing removes excess fur and reduces skin issues.

Rossari Solution:

  • Lozalo’s Soothing Floral Shampoo helps pets feel refreshed and clean with natural ingredients that cool the skin.
  • Zippy and Sniffy’s nutrient-rich dry food ensures pets stay active without adding digestive strain during the heat.
  • Toptail offers balanced cat food that keeps indoor cats energized even when they’re lazing through warm afternoons.

2. Monsoon: Stay Dry, Stay Safe

Challenges:
 Humidity invites skin infections, ticks, and digestive issues, while wet surroundings increase chances of colds and respiratory problems.

Tips for Monsoon Pet Care:

  • Dry thoroughly after walks: Prevent fungal infections by drying paws and fur.
  • Maintain hygiene: Clean ears, paws, and undercoat regularly.
  • Limit outdoor play: Wet surfaces can lead to slips and injuries.
  • Check for parasites: Use tick and flea preventive treatments.
  • Adjust diet: Prevent indigestion by choosing easily digestible, dry pet food.
Rossari Solution:
  • Lozalo’s sulphate free medicated shampoo range provide ultimate relief from fungal infections that typically flare up during the monsoons. Keep your pet safe from fungal, bacterial, and other parasitic infestations with our innovative solutions.
  • Vetsense Dry Food help in managing sensitive digestion during damp weather.
  • Pet Wipes from Rossari Homecare offer quick, gentle cleaning post-walks.

3. Winter: Warm and Cozy Care

Challenges:
 Cold temperatures can affect joint health, immunity, and overall comfort—especially in short-haired and senior pets.

Tips for Winter Pet Care:

    • Keep them warm: Use pet sweaters or jackets, especially during outdoor walks.
    • Avoid cold baths: Use lukewarm water and dry them quickly.
    • Increase food intake slightly: Some pets burn more calories staying warm.
    • Keep active indoors: Play with them to avoid winter weight gain.
    • Moisturize paws and skin: Cold air can dry them out.
Rossari Solution:
  • Sniffy and Zippy provide protein-rich diets to build warmth and immunity in pets.
  • Lozalo’s Conditioning Cream and Waterless Bath range nourishes dry skin and prevents winter flakiness, keeping the coat fresh and hydrated.
  • Vetsense Supplements support bone and joint health, ideal for aging pets during the cold months.

4. Spring and Autumn: The Transition Seasons

Challenges:
Fluctuating temperatures can confuse your pet’s system. Shedding increases, allergies spike, and energy levels may vary.

Tips for Transition Season Care:

  • Brush regularly: Manage shedding and keep skin ventilated.
  • Monitor food and water habits: Adjust diet as metabolism changes.
  • Watch for allergies: Pollen and dust may cause sneezing or itching.
  • Update grooming routine: A good bath can help with skin renewal.
Rossari Solution:
  • Lozalo’s Botanical Range ease irritation and maintain coat health during shedding periods.
  • Zippy, Sniffy, and Toptail provide essential nutrients to balance seasonal transitions.
  • Lozalo’s Homecare Range maintains a hygienic environment for sensitive pets during allergen-heavy seasons.
