It’s July again, which marks the return of the rainy season in the Philippines. Just like us hoomans, our furry besties need extra TLC to keep them happy, healthy, and safe from the stormy blues the weather may bring. With wet streets and thunder clouds up above, we worry that our furry besties will have less playdates outside and their immunity compromised. Don’t you fret, pawrents! We’re here to ensure a safe monsoon season so you can #LiveTheBestLifeTogether

1. Set Up a Safe, Dry Space for Your Pet

Flooding and leaks are common in many areas during heavy rains. Make sure your dog or cat has a warm, elevated space inside your home that’s free from moisture and drafts. Use soft blankets, waterproof mats, or pet beds to keep them cozy and dry.

2. Choose Indoor Exercise or Covered Walks

Frequent walks are important for your pet’s health and behavior—but wet streets and strong winds can make outdoor time unsafe. If possible, take short walks in covered areas or create indoor play routines using toys or treat puzzles to keep them active and stimulated.

3. Ease Thunderstorm Anxiety

Loud thunder and flashing lightning can trigger anxiety in pets. Prepare a “calm corner” with their favorite blanket and toys, and stay close to provide comfort. You can also use calming music or white noise to drown out storm sounds.

4. Protect Against Fleas and Ticks

Fleas and ticks thrive in warm, humid environments, making rainy months a hotspot for infestations. Always use vet-approved tick and flea prevention products, and check your pet’s fur—especially around the neck, ears, belly, and paws—after outdoor exposure.

5. Support Immunity with Proper Pet Nutrition

Just like hoomans, pets need strong immune systems to fight off illness during the rainy season. Feed them a complete and balanced diet that supports their digestion, skin health, and immunity. Maxime dog food and Maxime cat food are specially formulated with essential nutrients to help your pets stay strong, energetic, and healthy—rain or shine.

6. Maintain Regular Grooming & Hygiene

Muddy fur, wet paws, and damp coats can lead to skin infections and a lingering “wet dog” smell. Regular baths using mild pet shampoo, thorough drying, and frequent brushing help keep your pets clean and prevent fungal or bacterial issues.

Why Choose Maxime Pet Food This Rainy Season?
