Holi 2025: Tips To Ensure The Safety Of Your Pets During The Festival of Colours

Keep your pets safe during Holi by keeping them indoors, providing a comfortable space with toys and treats, and closing windows. 

Use pet-friendly, natural Holi colors that are gentle on skin, avoiding toxic synthetic colors that can harm sensitive pet skin and eyes.

Apply pet-safe moisturiser or coconut oil to protect dogs' fur and paws, and gently wipe off colours before bathing to prevent skin irritation.

Use pet-friendly Holi colours like turmeric powder, beetroot powder, flower-based colours, and cornstarch-based colours. 

Keep your pets calm and hydrated during Holi by providing plenty of fresh water and feeding them early to reduce anxiety and stress.

Monitor your pets' behaviour for signs of distress, such as panting, aggression, or hiding, and provide comfort. 

Keep pets' food and water bowls clean and safe, and avoid feeding them snacks and sweets to prevent accidental ingestion of toxic colours and foods.

Keep a pet emergency kit handy and save your vet's contact numbers for quick access in case of unexpected injuries or emergencies.

After Holi celebrations, bathe your pet with a mild shampoo, and rinse thoroughly. 

Stick to pet-friendly treats and prepare healthy, nutritional food to avoid digestive issues in animals during Holi celebrations.
