We don’t just tell you to check for them, we show you exactly where to look so you can catch these pests early and keep your dog comfortable, parasite-free, and happy. Keeping your dog safe doesn't require a degree in veterinary science. It requires real, actionable habits that fit into your daily routine. Here is how we break down the essentials. ### Summer Survival Basics Summer in India is tough on our furry friends. If you wouldn't walk barefoot on the pavement at noon, your dog shouldn't either. Stick to early mornings or late evenings for walks. Always keep fresh water available, and if you are at home without AC, make sure there is proper airflow and shade. These small changes prevent heatstroke and keep your dog energetic. ### The Tick Checklist Ticks are a menace to society, but they are manageable. After every walk, make it a ritual to check the 'cozy corners'. These include: * Between the toes * Under the front and back legs * Around and under the tail * In and around the ears * Around the eyelids Finding a tick early is the best way to prevent infections and bigger health issues. ### Safety and Protection Many of you have asked about protection dogs. It is a common misconception that a protection dog must be aggressive. In reality, a well-trained protection dog is stable and lovable but possesses the genetic capability to switch gears and defend you when needed. If you are a solo traveler or someone living alone, the right training can provide incredible peace of mind without compromising your dog's social nature. We believe in positive training methods that build confidence, not fear. ## About Sploot We are just dog parents like you, handling the late-night zoomies, the weird poop, and the occasional 'why would you do that?' moment.
