Keep up daily exercise — the cool weather is ideal for longer, more active walks.

Preparing the home in Kinnaur

With independent houses common, there is usually room for a medium-sized breed to exercise at home.

Keep up daily exercise — the cool weather is ideal for longer, more active walks.

The first week

The first week is about routine, not excitement. Feed at consistent times, keep the same food initially, and let the pet approach people in its own time rather than being passed around. The vaccination record travels with the pet and we are contactable if you have questions.

Costs beyond the purchase

Plan for the running costs, not just the one-off. Boosters, deworming, food, grooming and the occasional vet visit are the ongoing commitment. Around Kinnaur, it is worth identifying your nearest vet before the pet arrives.

Which kind of pet suits Kinnaur

Choosing between a dog, a cat and a bird matters more than choosing a breed. In Kinnaur, where the cooler climate suits thick-coated breeds but needs winter planning for others, a dog commits you to outdoor time in local conditions, a cat is largely indoors and self-directed, and birds need a steady, draught-free spot. Check paws for cracking and ice between toes during the coldest months.
