While we all are sulking in since we can’t step out during the quarantine, there’s your furry friend who wishes to go out too. Unable to understand why the evening walks have suddenly stopped, your pup requires his share of daily exercise while you’re both stuck inside the house. Although the World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) has already declared that by no means pets can get infected by this virus or spread it, owners must ensure their pets continue to live healthily during this outbreak.
