Welcome to the pet hub at Chander Hills. Whether you have a playful puppy, a senior dog, or a curious cat, you’ll find short, useful answers to the everyday questions that pop up. We’ve gathered the most popular topics from our blog, so you can get straight to the advice you need without scrolling through endless pages.
Got a dog that pulls on the leash? Try stopping, turning around, and rewarding the calm side of the walk. It works better than forcing a tight leash and keeps the walk fun for both of you. If your cat refuses wet food, mix a tiny bit of warm water into the pâté – the warm scent makes it more appealing and often gets them eating.
Accidents happen, especially with puppies learning where to pee. Instead of scolding mid‑pee, gently guide them outside and reward the finish. Consistency beats punishment, and the habit forms faster.
Planning to fly with your dog? Use a carrier that meets airline size rules, label it clearly, and give your pup a familiar blanket. A short walk before the flight helps burn excess energy and reduces anxiety. For cats, a well‑ventilated carrier placed under the seat keeps them safe and comfortable.
Grooming can feel like a marathon, but breaking it into steps helps. Brush first, then a quick bath, and finish with a short nail trim. If your dog seems scared after a haircut, offer a calm voice, a favorite toy, and a treat to associate grooming with positive vibes.
Collars and harnesses each have pros and cons. A sturdy collar works for everyday walks, but a harness spreads pressure across the chest and is kinder on a dog that pulls. Check your pup’s collar weekly for wear; replace it every 6‑12 months or when fraying appears.
Feeling unsure about supplements? Salmon oil is a vet‑approved source of omega‑3 that supports shiny coats and joint health. Start with a small dose and watch for any stomach upset before increasing.
Finally, if you’re weighing pet insurance, compare what’s covered for routine care versus emergencies. A modest monthly plan can save big bucks when an unexpected vet visit pops up.
All of these tips come from vets, trainers, and pet owners who’ve walked the same path. Bookmark this page, come back when a new question pops up, and explore the full articles for deeper dives into each topic.

Ever wondered if your dog likes having the TV on while lounging on their comfy bed? Dogs can be intrigued by moving images and sounds from TV, but their reaction can vary. Some enjoy background noise that mimics a pack environment, while others might prefer silence. Understanding their behavior can help create a peaceful home environment for your furry friend.
