Belgian Malinois Puppy

The Belgian Malinois Puppy is a medium dog, high energy, living around 14–16 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 a Belgian Malinois Puppy through a Mumbai year

• Monsoon: four months of rain shape the routine. Dry the dog thoroughly and never let bedding stay damp.
• Teeth: brushed or given something to chew; dental trouble is the most under-treated thing we see.
• Paws: check between the pads after every walk; this is where problems start and get missed.
• Sleep: one place that is unambiguously its own, away from the main walkway.
• Clinic: number saved and records kept in the same place.
