Choosing this size band in Gangtok

In Gangtok, where homes usually have their own space, size matters less for housing and more for exercise. Given the cooler climate suits thick-coated breeds but needs winter planning for others, the real question is when the activity happens, not how much of it there is.

The first week

Expect a quiet few days. Most pets eat less and sleep more while they adjust. Keep food the same as before the move, introduce the household gradually rather than all at once, and hold off on visitors. Vaccination and deworming dates come with the pet, and we stay reachable if anything looks off.
