Akita Inu Puppy

The Akita Inu Puppy is a medium dog, loyal, living around 10–13 years. In a city where space is measured carefully, this breed asks less of a floor plan than people expect - it cares far more about whether anyone is in the room.

The real work here is seasonal. Four months of rain shape the coat care, the drying routine and the walk schedule, and a household that plans for that enjoys the dog considerably more than one surprised by it each June.

Caring for an Akita Inu Puppy through a Mumbai year

• Monsoon: four months of rain shape the routine. Dry the dog thoroughly and never let bedding stay damp.
• Nails: trimmed before you can hear them on hard flooring.
• Exercise: two walks a day, and do not over-exercise a young dog while the joints are still forming.
• Weight: judged against your vet's target, never against what the dog asks for.
• Clinic: number saved and records kept in the same place.
