Conbun - The Best Online Consulting App

Written by: Anand Sen; Reviewed by: Dr Vinod Kumar Jain Riya got a Labrador puppy. For the first two months, she fed the dog whatever she felt was healthy. It was rice, dal, leftover and chicken on weekends, and occasionally dog biscuits. By the third month, the puppy started facing common Labrador health problems like poor coat quality, loose stools and early calcium deficiency. Riya did not neglect nutrition, but she neglected structure. This is one of the most common mistakes new pet owners in India make.

Written by: Anand Sen ; Reviewed by: Dr. Harsh Ramesh, a dog parent from Pune, noticed his two-year-old Beagle, Bruno, scratching his ears constantly. The smell, the redness, and the nonstop head shaking had been happening for weeks. He assumed it was “just dirt” and tried coconut oil at home. But three weeks later, the dog was diagnosed with a ruptured eardrum. This is not rare. Beagles are cheerful, affectionate, and wonderfully food-obsessed little dogs. But they are also genetically predisposed to several health conditions that become worse in India’s climate and lifestyle conditions.

Written by: Anand Sen; Reviewed by: Dr. Harsh Ashmita, a cat parent from Pune, noticed a tiny bald patch near her Persian cat’s ear one evening.

Ringworms are zoonotic, which means even humans can contract ringworms by petting and handling infected animals.

In this blog, we’ll learn how to identify, treat and prevent ringworms in cats. What Is Ringworm in Cats? Despite the name, ringworm has absolutely no...
