Monsoon Care: Protecting Bhopal's Strays During the Rainy Season

The monsoon season in Bhopal brings relief from the heat, but it also brings unique challenges for our community dogs, who often struggle to find dry, warm shelter. Here is how you can help.

Provide Dry Shelter

A simple tarp or a dry corner in a porch area can protect a dog from getting drenched. Constant dampness can lead to skin infections and fungal issues.

Keep an Eye on Skin Health

Monsoon is the peak season for ticks and mange. If you notice a dog in your area losing patches of fur or scratching excessively, please contact Rescue Routes. Early treatment can prevent severe infections.

Safe Drinking Water

During the rains, stagnant water pools become breeding grounds for bacteria. Ensure that the water bowls you provide are cleaned daily to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases.
