Seasonal Eating for Dogs: The Srirangavn Way to Natural, Balanced Wellness

🐾🌿 Seasonal Eating for Dogs – The Srirangavn Way

At Srirangavn, we believe dogs aren’t just companions — they are sentient beings, tuned to rhythms of nature just like we are.Their needs shift with the seasons. Their digestion, energy, coat, and moods — all respond to heat, cold, humidity, and even planetary quiet.That’s why Seasonal Eating for dogs isn’t a trend. It’s wisdom.

We see it every day on the farm: when the mangoes ripen, our dogs slow down and crave water. When the monsoon winds return, they huddle in dry corners, and their appetites change. When winter dawns, they sunbathe and seek warmth — inside and out.

Here’s how we align with Mother Nature’s menu to support our dogs' wellness:

☀️ Summer (March–June): Cooling & Hydrating

Hot, dry or humid, summer can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, and loss of appetite.

What we feed:

• Cooked pumpkin – rich in water and fibre

• Watermelon pieces (no seeds) – sweet hydration

• Coconut water (small sips) – cooling and electrolyte-rich

• Homemade curd rice with turmeric – soothing on the gut

• Mint-infused buttermilk cubes – chilled wellness bites

Wellness Tip:Keep meals light and moist. Avoid dry kibbles or heat-producing foods like red meats. Let them rest in shade.

🌧️ Monsoon (July–September): Digestive Balance

The rains bring worms, fungal infections, and gut sensitivity.

What we feed:

• Ginger & jeera-infused rice – balances gas and digestion

• Steamed carrots, beans, and turmeric rice – warm, easy to digest

• A pinch of neem powder (vet-approved) – natural parasite support

• Bone broth with garlic (mild) – immunity booster

Wellness Tip:Wipe paws often, and feed warm food to prevent dampness in joints and belly.

🍂 Autumn (October–November): Cleanse & Rebuild

This is a time of transition — shedding old fur, clearing toxins, resetting the body.

What we feed:

• Boiled beetroot + moong dal mix – supports liver

• Pumpkin with coconut oil – fiber plus gentle cleansing

• Mild herbal decoction (tulsi + ajwain + jeera) – improves gut heat balance

• Seasonal fruits (small pieces) – like papaya and banana

Wellness Tip:Brush often. Add a drop of cold-pressed flaxseed oil for coat support.

❄️ Winter (December–February): Warming & Nourishing

Dogs burn more energy and seek warmth in colder months.

What we feed:

• Sweet potato mash with a spoon of ghee – deeply nourishing

• Lamb broth or chicken stew – protein-rich and warming

• Sesame laddus (tiny, mild, homemade) – trace minerals & warmth

• Golden turmeric milk (with goat milk or nut milk) – anti-inflammatory magic

Wellness Tip:Sunlight is medicine. Let them bask. Offer gentle movement and warm sleeping spots.

🧡 Final Thoughts: Trust Nature. Trust Your Dog.

At Srirangavn, dogs don’t follow charts. They follow intuition — sniffing, rejecting, craving, slowing down, or asking for more.

Our job?To observe, adapt, and respond. To feed them not just from bowls — but from care, rhythm, and season.

Because when we eat with the Earth, we heal with her. And our dogs know this.Let’s listen. Let’s love. Let’s feed with wisdom.
