PetStepin'

Love in its purest form is the one between animals and children..there is no malice or motive..neither are expecting anything back in return but for that selfless love!! ❤️  Today we would like to celebrate this pure love and request you all to open your hearts and homes to these darling angels. When you have a child don't abandon Ur pet, instead adopt one cause they complete your family. It has been scientifically proven that having pets at home with children not only improves the child's immunity and builds up their resistance but it also teaches them social concepts on how to care for another, taking responsibility etc. So this valentine's day complete your family and opt to adopt!!

Behind the scenes @ PetStepin’ - My experience working as a temporary manager.   I was scrolling through facebook aimlessly when I came across a post by Dr.Nezhat regarding an opening In her Pet boarding facility here In Bangalore called PetStepin’. Having worked multiple jobs since the age of 16, this was the first time I found something that truly Intrigued me and I wanted to give It a shot. So after a few messages back and forth and learning more about what my duties as manager will entail, I decided to go In for 10 days and try n get a feel of what It would be like to work there full time.  On my first day, Being an enthu cutlet, I showed up earlier than I was supposed to as I couldn’t wait to start my day and see what this experience was going to be like.(I ended up coming In as early as I could every day after that as well)  I walked Into the gates of the facility and was confronted by a huge pack of dogs barking In my face as I stood there In the socializing area a...

It's time to run and play..especially after the rains. Everything looks so fresh and green. The smell of wet mud is so relaxing.  But our favorite part is running through the puddles. Gosh what a mess we love to make ... splashing on one another..jumping in those muddy puddles..and rolling in the slush. Esha is soo excited.."common Pickles let's splash" Pickles is like "nah I don't want my paws getting dirty " Oh well..then Esha trys her luck with Wolf, who very kindly obliges to a game of roll about. Esha loves the rain..."It's just so much fun "

1. Regular Veterinary check: It is a myth that cats are self sufficient and don't need the regular care a dog needs. Cats need a wellness check up by the Vet on a regular basis, at least twice a year, to keep check on health issues with regards to nutrition and weight, dental check, behavioral changes as they age and regular vaccination and deworming. As your cat ages past 8yrs, the frequency of visits will need to increase to read the signs and avoid age related problems from setting in. 2. Yearly Vaccination: Vaccinating your cat even though he maybe entirely an indoor cat is not an option but should be mandatory. Vaccination is done to maximize our ability to prevent infectious diseases in our pets. It starts at 6-8wks of age and after the initial boosters it should be repeated on a yearly basis to maintain the required immunity levels in the body. You must discuss the required protocol with your veterinarian. The core vaccines that need to be given are against Rabies, Panleukop...

A little reference about what exactly Doga  is all about. Quoting directly from Wikipedia : Doga  (a portmanteau of "Dog Yoga") is the practice of yoga with pet dogs. Through acts of meditation, gentle massage, and stretching, doga practitioners seek to achieve a greater harmony with their dogs. Canine acupuncture and chanting are also known to take place within the occasional doga routine. In Doga, the submissive dogs and their human masters work as one unit - the masters help their dogs facilitate different poses and, in some cases, the pets are used as props or instruments while the masters perfect their poses. This is seen to be a Zen way of practicing non-traditional yoga and training, while exploring power play dynamics. Doga has received some criticism from the yoga community. Doga classes have been labeled inappropriate for trivializing the sacred practice by turning it into a "fad", for their lax policies on teacher certification, and for the ...
