Written by: Anand Sen ; Reviewed by: Dr.Tejasvi Meshram If you’ve ever seen a pair of parrots quietly feeding each other, preening feathers like old partners who’ve memorised each other’s moods, you’ve already seen the beginning of bird breeding behaviour. If you have parrots at home, maybe at least once you’ve thought, “I can breed parrots at home”. However, breeding is a challenging and specialised aspect of bird care. Across India, from balcony setups in Delhi to terrace aviaries in Bangalore, parrot breeding is gaining increasing popularity. Indian Ringnecks, Alexandrines, and Budgerigars are among the most common pet and breeding birds. But here’s one thing that most parrot owners don’t realise: Parrot breeding is not just pairing two birds and waiting for eggs. It is: behavioural science nutrition management environmental control and ethical responsibility According to the journal Animal Welfare and Indian avian practice standards, improper breeding in birds is associated...

Written by: Anand Sen; Reviewed by: Dr. Ritika Amliyar Delhi hits 45°C. Rajasthan crosses 46°C. Humidity in Mumbai turns every room into a slow pressure cooker. The pavement outside your apartment is hot enough to fry an egg. Your dog is overstimulated due to high stress, irritability and exhaustion. Your cat is stretched out on the tile floor, silent and still. And here’s an uncomfortable truth: Indian summers are not just hot; they are medically dangerous for pets. Dogs and cats don’t sweat like humans. Dogs rely on panting. Cats have minimal sweat glands in their paws called the merocrine glands. When outside temperatures approach or exceed their body temperature (38–39°C), their cooling system gives up. According to an article published in Veterinary Medicine: Research and Reports, once body temperature crosses 41°C, the risk of organ damage rises rapidly, especially in dogs. This is why summer pet care for Indian dogs and cats in 2026 should not rely on Western advice. A...

Written by: Anand Sen; Reviewed by: Dr. Ritika Amliyar Most Indian pet parents spend more time deciding what to order for dinner than preparing for their pet’s vet consultation.

Written by: Anand Sen ; Reviewed by: Dr R Arun If you search “ most popular cat breeds ” on Instagram today, you’ll fall into a rabbit hole of irresistibly cute faces. “Teacup Persian cross.” “Doll-face hybrid.” “Exotic mix kitten.” The kittens? Adorable. The captions? Convincing. But the truth? Rarely mentioned. Because behind most of these online listings lies a reality first-time pet owners never hear: A kitten that looks similar to a fluffy cloud may carry a genetic blueprint for long-term health issues. According to an article published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science, India’s cat population has crossed 9 million, and is continuously growing in cities like Mumbai and Bengaluru. With that rise, cat cross breeding in India, especially Persian-based crosses, has exploded. But here’s the catch first-time cat parents must know: The gap between responsible cross breeding and backyard breeding in India is massive. And the consequences? They don’t show up on day one.

Written by: Anand Sen ; Reviewed by: Dr R Arun Scroll through any Indian pet parent group on Instagram or Facebook, and you’ll find them everywhere. The “Goldador.” The “Lab-Indie.” The “Pom-Spitz.” In India, cross-breed dogs have become the fastest-growing pet category, and honestly, it’s easy to see why. They look unique and are a lot cheaper than a "purebred" import. Additionally, there’s a massive desi belief that "cross-breeds are healthier." Some of that is true, and some of it is just a very expensive fairy tale that you are being sold while adopting a pet. Veterinarians constantly see families walk in with a 5-month-old designer pup they bought with pure excitement and zero medical guidance, only to realise that their "unique" furbaby has inherited the joint issues of one parent and the skin allergies of the other. While dog cross-breeding in India is happening at scale, responsible breeding is becoming rare. Behind those Instagram-worthy ...
