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.

Costs beyond the purchase

The purchase price is the smaller part of the commitment. Budget for vaccination boosters, routine vet visits, food, grooming and occasional treatment. Grooming frequency in particular is driven by local conditions — in Pollachi's coastal tropical climate, the air stays humid through much of the year, so coat and skin care need attention.

Preparing the home in Pollachi

Homes here often have more space and independent plots, which gives a pet room to move and settle in comfortably. A little preparation removes most of the first-week friction: a settled sleeping spot, food and water bowls, a carrier for vet trips, and a clear agreement on who does what. Keep bedding dry and the resting area well-ventilated, especially during the monsoon.

Feeding and daily routine

A predictable feeding routine settles a new pet faster than anything else. Keep the existing diet for the first two weeks, then transition gradually over several days. Given the coastal tropical weather around Pollachi, fresh water should be topped up regularly. Stay current on tick and flea prevention, which thrive in warm, damp conditions.
