The streets of Jaipur are bright pink and full of life, and things move at a different pace. Having a loyal four-legged friend with you is the best thing ever, whether you’re walking through the busy markets or relaxing in Central Park’s quiet green space. If you’ve just brought a new puppy home, congratulations! Having a dog is a life-changing experience full of love and wagging tails that never ends.

But anyone who has owned a pet in Rajasthan for a long time will tell you that the change isn’t always easy. Because of the hot summer weather and the trouble of taking care of pets in the city, new pet owners often feel overwhelmed. We at Furry Luxury Livings Dog Hostel Jaipur believe that all dogs should live like royalty. We have added to the six basic tips to help you along the way so that your dog doesn’t just live, but thrives.

1. The Key to Good Health Is Precision Nutrition

We say “You are what you eat” a lot, and it’s true for our dogs too. Eating the right foods is the first step to living a long, healthy life. But there isn’t one answer that works for everyone when it comes to nutrition. A younger Indie puppy needs a lot more calories than an older Golden Retriever.

Choosing the Right Fuel

Don’t just look at the pretty packaging when you buy dog food for your business. A certain type of protein, like chicken, lamb, or fish, should be the first thing in high-quality kibble or wet food. Check to see if the formula is right for the age. “Senior” blends often have glucosamine in them to help with joint health, and “Puppy” formulas are high in DHA for brain development.

The “Human Food” Trap

It would be very tempting to share a piece of paneer or roti at dinner. Some whole foods, like boiled carrots or pumpkin, are safe to eat in small amounts. But a lot of things that are common in Indian kitchens are toxic.

2. More than just walking: why you should move your body and mind every day

You need to plan your workouts in a city like Jaipur, where the weather can be very hot or very cold. A dog with a lot of energy will probably find “creative” ways to keep itself busy, like chewing on your favorite shoes or the legs of your wooden dining table.

How to Beat the Heat

It’s not a good idea to go for a walk at noon in the middle of summer. It only takes a few seconds for sensitive paw pads to get burned on the pavement. You can play “fetch” at a park nearby or “nose work” games at home. Your dog will have to think and smell to find treats hidden around the living room, which is just as tiring as a long run. We have big play areas at Furry Luxury Livings where dogs can meet other dogs and get some exercise while professionals keep an eye on them. This will make them happy and calm when they get home.

3. The Language of Love: Getting to Know Your Dog and Making Friends

It’s not just about giving and following orders; trust is what makes the bond between a person and a dog. You need to learn how to talk to your dog if you want to make them really happy.

How to Read Body Language

Many owners believe that a “guilty look” (head down, whites of the eyes showing) means “I’m sorry.” That’s actually a dog showing fear or submission. You can step in before things get too much for your pet if you can learn to see signs of stress in them, like yawning too much, licking their lips, or having a stiff tail.

Experts’ Advice

If this is your first time owning a pet, don’t be afraid to hire a behaviorist. Teaching your dog to “sit” and “stay” is only part of training. It’s also about giving them a way to get in touch with you. Your dog will feel a lot better when they know what you want. A dog that is well-bonded is a dog that knows who it is.

4. The “Health First” Way of Thinking About Preventive Care

It’s never a good idea to “wait and see” when it comes to your pet’s health. Dogs are very good at hiding pain, which is something they learned from their wild ancestors. When a dog starts to show clear signs of being sick, the illness is usually already pretty bad.

The Jaipur Pets List

• Follow a strict schedule for getting the rabies, DHPP, and leptospirosis shots.
• Preventing Parasites: Ticks and fleas are a threat all year long because of our weather. There is no room for discussion about monthly preventatives.
• Dental Health: Issues with your teeth can lead to issues with your heart and kidneys. Regular checkups with a trusted local vet will help you find small problems before they become big, expensive, and life-threatening ones.

5. Grooming: Not Just for Show

People often think of grooming as just for looks, but it’s actually a good habit for your health. In Rajasthan, where there is a lot of dust, a dog’s coat can collect dirt, allergens, and bugs that make the skin itch.

The Routine

Every day, brushing your dog’s hair spreads natural oils and gets rid of dead hair. This is very important for breeds with long hair, like Shih Tzus and Huskies. It’s also important to cut your dog’s nails. If their nails are too long, they can change the way their paw hits the ground, which can cause arthritis and problems with the alignment of their bones.

Look at the ears and eyes

Always look for redness or smells in your ears while grooming. These could mean you have an infection. Cleaning the area around the eyes keeps tears from staining and making things worse.

6. Consistency and Environment: The Furry Luxury Living Edge

Being consistent is the most important thing for a happy dog. Dogs do best when they have a schedule. They want to know when they will eat, sleep, and walk.

Busy pet owners in Jaipur today may find it hard to stick to this routine because of work or travel. This is where we come in.

We make sure that your dog’s schedule stays the same and that they stay happy, whether they are staying with us for boarding or daycare.
