Should you feed your pet the same food every day? As a pet mom to two very different dogs, I believe a varied, balanced diet is key. I discuss how I mix home-cooked meals with high-quality commercial food to meet their individual needs and keep them interested in their food.
Caring for a senior pet is a special responsibility. As they age, their needs change. I talk about the importance of a tailored diet, gentle exercise, and mental stimulation to ensure our older companions live their golden years in comfort and happiness.

About this collection
Managing a pet’s health is rarely about one-size-fits-all solutions; it’s about observing the small, daily changes in their behavior and needs. Whether you are figuring out a balanced diet for a picky eater, managing festive anxiety, or simply trying to understand why your pet’s gut health is acting up, Dr. Anubhav and I break down these complexities so you can make informed decisions rather than guessing.
Understanding Your Pet’s Needs
Being a pet parent in a city like Bangalore comes with unique challenges, from handling unpredictable monsoons to keeping your pets calm during festival noise.
Common Questions We Answer:
- Dietary Balancing: Should you stick to one food type? We discuss why a mix of home-cooked meals and quality commercial food often works best, depending on your pet's specific metabolism.
- Anxiety & Stress: Whether it's separation anxiety when you head to work or noise sensitivity during Diwali, we explain how to create a safe space and when to consult a professional.
- Senior Care: As our pets age, their joints and digestion change. We offer guidance on switching to senior-friendly diets and managing mobility issues to keep them comfortable.
- Gut Health: From constipation in cats to the importance of probiotics for dogs, we share simple, actionable ways to maintain digestive health at home.
The 'Beedhi Naayi' Perspective
One of the most frequent topics we cover is the care of Indian street dogs. They are incredibly resilient, but they still need specific support. We talk about how to tailor your approach for Indies versus pedigrees, ensuring every dog gets the nutrition they need, not just what's popular on social media.
When to Visit the Vet
While home remedies like adding fiber or using calming sprays can help, there are times when professional intervention is non-negotiable. If you notice drastic weight loss, lethargy, or sudden behavioral shifts, it is time to stop searching online and get a clinical assessment. Dr. Anubhav emphasizes early detection for conditions like diabetes, which is becoming increasingly common in pets today.
