Pre-Monsoon Checklist for Kolkata Pet Owners

The checklist\n\n1. Leptospirosis vaccine — current within last 12 months\n2. Tick prevention — spot-on or oral chewable in stock\n3. Towel by the door — for after every walk\n4. Walking route — identify dry alternatives to flooded lanes\n5. First-aid kit — antiseptic, gauze, vet-approved anti-diarrhoeal\n6. Stock of regular medication — pharmacies hard to access during waterlogging\n7. Emergency contacts saved — SenVetCare +91 98711 55162; nearest 24x7 hospital\n8. Drying space identified — for paws, towels, raincoats\n\n## Why each matters\n\nLeptospirosis kills, ticks boom, fungal skin infection thrives, snake encounters rise after the first rain. Doing this in the dry pre-monsoon weeks is dramatically easier than during a downpour.\n\n## Bonus\n\nMicrochip details up to date — pets escape more often when frightened by thunder.
