It is a common phenomenon where we include our furry friends and strays in the entire celebration process. Deliberate or accidental exposure to colours can wreak havoc to the health of our dear four-legged friends. We include furry buddies to the celebration of festivities, without the realization about the adverse effects, they can have on them.

This Holi pledge to make the festival more accommodative of all pets and strays. We do not realize how the harmful substances present in the colours can affect them, the worse being they cannot even communicate the same. We know you care for furry as much as we do and so here are 5 tips to enjoy a pet-friendly Holi this year:

1. Keep them indoors:

 You may be considerate towards furry friends and make sure there is no spec of colour or harmful substances around furry. There are often many people who enjoy throwing colours and water balloons on fellow passerby which might affect furry.

These colours contain a harmful substance that will cause irritation and inhaling can cause respiratory infection. This Holi take a vow to accommodate all our furry friends in the celebration and make it a Happy Holi for them too.
