Why street dogs go hungry in our cities
Leftovers dried up when small eateries shut. Here's what actually helps.
3 min read · tap to open
Most Indian street dogs survive on food waste from small eateries and homes. When those sources disappear, dogs travel further, fight more and get injured more. A steady feeding spot — the same place, the same time — reduces fights and makes vaccination drives far easier, because the dogs stay in one territory.
Rabies is preventable. Vaccination is the whole answer.
70% coverage in a locality is enough to break the chain of transmission.

Anti-rabies vaccination of community dogs protects both people and dogs. If about 70% of the dogs in an area are vaccinated and marked, transmission collapses. Sterilisation on top of this keeps the population stable, so the same dogs stay healthy rather than being replaced by new unvaccinated litters.
Road accidents: the first 30 minutes matter most
Don't move a dog by the limbs. Here's a safer way.

Slide a flat board, sari or thick cardboard under the dog and lift it as a stretcher. Cover the eyes gently to reduce panic, avoid giving water if the dog is unconscious and call the nearest animal ambulance or NGO. Keep a number saved on your phone before you need it.
Harsh summers and monsoons: two bowls that save lives
Water in summer, dry shelter in the rain. Both cost almost nothing.

Heat stroke and tick fever spike in May–June; skin infections and parvo spike in the monsoon. A clay water bowl refilled twice a day in summer and a raised, covered corner in the rains dramatically cut both. Add a handful of rice and curd for puppies during heavy rain weeks.
How to help a stray without scaring them
Crouch, don't loom. Offer food on the ground, not from your hand.

Approach from the side, crouch, avoid direct eye contact and place food on the ground a metre away. Never corner a dog or pat the head first. If the dog is injured or aggressive out of fear, call trained rescuers — a frightened dog can hurt you and itself.
