No Chemical Holi for Fido

Colour causes irritation on skin and if licked or inhaled, it can have deadly results, says Mradul Goel, Director Marketing, Goel Vet Pharma.

Every year we are eager to celebrate Holi with our beloved family members. However, in the excitement of Holi, we forget that our pets may not enjoy being coloured. The chemicals that make up the colours can cause irritation to their skin and if they do lick it or they inhale it, it may cause deadly poisoning. Holi is a time for everyone to be aware and understand that Holi is not a day for playing with colours only, it is a day when you can have fun with your pet without using colours and water.

There are several essential aspects that you should know to keep your dog secure during the Holi festival.
1. Dyes are contaminated with harmful chemicals: The gulal powder we use for the festival is composed of a synthetic compound that is toxic and full of harmful chemicals. It causes skin irritation and itching and blindness in humans and animals. Pets can lick poisonous chemicals, leading to severe illnesses and diseases. not just pets, even if you play with your human pals, choose natural colours.

2. Please keep your pets inside: When it comes to Holi celebrations, you are at risk of being hit by colourful powder or water balloons. Therefore, the best method to protect your pet is to keep them in a safe place. also, make sure that you keep the party out of the reach of dogs that might wander by. set out drinking water that is clean for dogs who walk around so that they don’t drink unclean water on the roads.

3. children should be taught not to spurt water on dogs: Throwing water balloons could cause injuries to dogs. children may not know the dangers and harms to the canines. Therefore, you should teach your children not to shoot water balloons at dogs during Holi celebrations.

4. Make sure you are aware of your local area: The buildings should place notices on the walls that warn residents not to let out their pet companions from their homes during Holi and never throw colours or water on animals.

5. Be on the lookout for your dog and your pet’s stray companions to look for signs of trouble: If you spot an animal or dog having coloured particles on its face or body, it is best to clean it off using clean water. If irritation continues, seek assistance from a veterinarian.

6. Be sure to keep sweets out of your pet’s reach: Holi is all about sharing sweets with your beloved ones, but you must be sure to keep them away from your pets. But, you can offer treats to the pooches.
