Living With Pets? These Smart Tools Help Manage Hair, Feeding, Air And Safety

ABP Live Pet First: Loose hair on upholstery. Paw prints across freshly cleaned floors. A missed feeding schedule. A pet watches the door when you leave for work. Sharing a home with pets brings companionship, routine and energy. It also changes how that space functions. Cleaning becomes more frequent. Air quality matters more. Routines need to stay consistent, even on busy days. National Love Your Pet Day is a reminder that caring for your pets extends beyond treats and toys. It means managing shedding, supporting structured feeding habits, maintaining hygiene, and ensuring safety through regular monitoring.  The following essentials are designed to address these everyday realities, combining purposeful design and technology. Dyson Pet Grooming Kit: For Shedding Control  Shedding is a natural part of life with pets, but managing it at the source can significantly reduce how far loose hair spreads across the home.  The Dyson Pet Groom Tool is engineered to remove loose hair and dander directly into the bin while brushing, helping keep both pets and homes cleaner. Designed for medium and long-haired pets, the grooming tool captures loose hair and dander directly into the vacuum bin as you brush, reducing fur spread across furniture and floors. Featuring 364 angled slickser bristles that flex upright to reach deep into the coat, it removes loose undercoat hair efficiently. When retracted, the suction pulls the hair straight into the bin for cleaner disposal. The tool is acoustically engineered to help keep grooming sessions calmer.  The Dyson Pet Grooming Kit is available at Dyson stores and on Dyson.in for INR 9,900. With the purchase of a Dyson V15, V12S, V12, V11 or V8 vacuum, the Pet Grooming Kit can be added for INR 1,490. Qubo Home Security Cameras 360°: For Staying Connected When You Are Away  For pet parents balancing long workdays or travel, staying connected can offer reassurance. The Qubo Smart Cam 360° provides full room coverage through app-based monitoring, allowing users to check in from anywhere.

Compact and easy to install, it integrates seamlessly into everyday home setups. Qubo Home Security Cameras 360° is available at Qubo stores as well as on Quboworld.com for Rs 3,290 (40% off). Dyson HushJet Purifier Compact: For Cleaner Air And Quieter Pet Homes  In pet households, dander, fine dust and airborne allergens circulate easily, particularly in enclosed spaces where windows remain shut. Over time, these particles can accumulate, affecting indoor air quality. Designed for modern homes, the Dyson HushJet™ Purifier Compact is engineered with a 360° electrostatic particulate filter that captures 99.97% of pollutants as small as 0.3 microns, including fine dust and common airborne allergens. Designed to purify larger spaces, it delivers consistent airflow while operating at 24 dBA in Sleep Mode, helping maintain a quieter environment during rest hours. Through the MyDyson™ app, users can monitor and control the machine remotely, helping maintain a more comfortable indoor environment for both pets and their humans.

Xiaomi Smart Pet Food Feeder: For Automated Feeding  Consistent feeding supports digestive stability and overall well-being. The Xiaomi Smart Pet Food Feeder enables scheduled, portion-controlled feeding through app-based management.  Users can set custom meal portions and feeding times via the Xiaomi Home app. A large hopper capacity supports multiple days of dry food storage, while the sealed lid helps maintain food freshness. Manual and scheduled feeding options provide flexibility for busy households, ensuring pets are fed on time even when routines shift.  Xiaomi Smart Pet Food Feeder is available at Xiaomi stores as well as on mi.com at Rs 12,999 (32% off). FeTaca’s Pet GPS Tracker: For Real-Time Location Tracking For pets that enjoy outdoor time or are prone to wandering, real-time tracking can provide added reassurance.

Gautam Gambhir Approached By Rajasthan Royals For Mentor, Partner & CEO Role: Report
Sports

Gautam Gambhir Approached By Rajasthan Royals For Mentor, Partner & CEO Role: Report

Gautam Gambhir, head coach of the Indian cricket team, is currently busy with the Men in Blue at the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, having already reached the Super 8s stage. However, he apparently has been approached a lucrative IPL return. According to a report by Dainik Jagran, a new stakeholder expected to join the Royals’ ownership group has offered Gautam Gambhir a 2-3% stake, coupled with significant operational control. Gautam Gambhir Set For IPL Return? Gautam Gambhir has an illustrious IPL record, both as captain and mentor. He won 2 titles with KKR as a player, and then later returned to lead them to a third triumph, but as mentor. He had also led the Lucknow Super Giants to back-to-back Playoffs as mentor. This seems to be the reason behind RR's reported offer to the Indian head coach. Dainik Jagran quoted, "A majority of Rajasthan Royals shareholders are selling their stake to the new owners. The deal is currently in a transferable state. One of the owners in RR’s new management has offered Gambhir a two-to-three per cent stake, in addition to the roles of CEO and mentor," However, it is worth noting that Gambhir has his contract with the Indian cricket team through the ICC World Cup 2027, and as per laws, cannot take up coaching roles with the national team and an IPL franchise at the same time. So in theory, if he was to accept this offer, he would have to leave the Men in Blue, which seems pretty unlikely. What's even more interesting is that Dainik Jagran have also reported Gautam Gambhir being interested in coaching India at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The matches will be played in the T20 format during that tournament, with the sport making a comeback after more than 100 years.

Jeep Meridian Track Edition Launched In India: Price, Features, 140mm Sliding Seat And What’s New

Jeep India has expanded its premium SUV portfolio with the launch of the Meridian ‘Track Edition’, a limited‑run model designed to elevate both comfort and road presence.  Positioned as the “Most Comfortable Jeep Meridian Ever”, the new edition introduces a significant cabin upgrade while retaining the performance DNA that defines the brand. Built on the Meridian Overland, the Track Edition blends distinctive styling, enhanced interior flexibility and the reassurance of the Jeep Confidence 7 ownership programme. Available for a limited time across dealerships, the model aims to appeal to buyers seeking exclusivity without compromising on everyday practicality. A Clear Visual Identity Exterior updates include Piano Black accents across the grille, badges and key mouldings, adding a sharper, more premium finish. The SUV rides on 18‑inch diamond‑cut alloy wheels, enhancing its stance. A Dark Espresso grille with Neutral Grey highlights gives the front profile a more assertive character, while the signature Track Edition hood decal and exclusive insignia underline its limited‑edition status. While the silhouette remains familiar, these carefully curated additions lend the SUV a more expressive personality without straying from Jeep’s signature design language. Comfort Takes Centre Stage The headline upgrade in the Track Edition is the introduction of a 140 mm full‑forward sliding second row. This enhancement significantly improves third‑row access and allows greater flexibility in cabin space management, a direct response to customer feedback, particularly from families and long‑distance travellers. With this update, Jeep claims the model is the “Most Comfortable Jeep Meridian Ever”. The additional sliding functionality makes the 7‑seater layout more adaptable for both passengers and luggage, enhancing everyday usability. Inside, the cabin has been given a refined makeover. The Track Edition features a dual‑tone Tupelo interior with suede inserts, complemented by contrast stitching and quilting on seats and bolsters. Dark Espresso finishes and Piano Black bezels add depth and richness across the dashboard and door panels. The Cortina leather‑wrapped steering wheel features detailed stitching, while Track Edition graphics and appliqués are embossed across the cabin and floor mats. The overall result is a more crafted and premium interior ambience. Kumar Priyesh, Business Head and Director, Automotive Brands, Stellantis India, said, “The Meridian Track Edition introduces a crafted, more expressive take on our premium 7-seater while delivering the enhanced flexibility customers have asked for. With the new sliding second row, we’ve created the Most Comfortable Jeep Meridian Ever, complemented by the confidence and reassurance of Jeep Confidence 7.” Jeep Confidence 7: Ownership Assurance Beyond styling and comfort, the Track Edition is backed by Jeep Confidence 7, the brand’s ownership programme offering up to seven years of warranty coverage. The package also includes assured buyback, maintenance packages, roadside assistance and priority service. For buyers in the premium SUV segment, long‑term ownership reassurance often weighs as heavily as performance specifications. Jeep’s move to bundle extended coverage and service benefits reflects a broader push towards strengthening customer confidence. ## Proven Performance Under The Hood Mechanically, the Meridian Track Edition retains Jeep’s established diesel powertrain. It is powered by the 2.0L MultiJet II diesel engine producing 170 HP and 350 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a segment‑first 9‑speed automatic transmission and is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations.  Feature-Rich As Standard The SUV continues to offer a comprehensive technology and safety suite.

ABP Live Doc Talk: Are Your 'Healthy' Snack Choices Truly Good For You? Here's What Expert Says
Health

ABP Live Doc Talk: Are Your 'Healthy' Snack Choices Truly Good For You? Here's What Expert Says

You take a snack from the store shelf because its bright label says "It's healthy." You start eating it with pure innocence. You even take a second serving of it because you think "It is better than junk". But here is a reality check - the biggest mistake you make with healthy snacking is thinking healthy means unlimited. The snack you picked can be full of nutrition, but still, when eaten without proper knowledge, it can cause issues. Because health is not just about what you eat, it is about how much, how frequently, and how cautiously you eat.   ALSO READ: Natural Weight Loss Tips: 6 Smart Ways To Pair Honey For Better Weight Control The Trap Of Perfection When you decide to totally avoid sweets or salty foods, your desire to eat them just does not vanish in a moment. Over time, it only increases and becomes stronger. The more you limit yourselves, the more you desire it. In due course, without you noticing, your one small bite might turn into an episode of overeating. Being stubbornly strict often leads to you losing control. A small but well-planned treat is comparatively healthier than over-limit restrictions that eventually lead to guilt.  Eating While Watching Leads To Overeating It is healthy, so! You eat your healthy snacks while watching your favorite show, or when you are working, or scrolling on your mobile. A handful of nuts becomes many. A smoothie turns into an extra add-on. When you are pre-occupied by something, you do not notice the feeling of fullness. Even if the calories are healthy, they count. Eating slowly and paying attention aids you in stopping when your body says enough.  The Lie On Your Healthy Snack’s Label  Phrases like "Organic", "Low-Fat", "Multi-Grain", and "Protein-rich" might sound like music to you. But most of the packaged "healthy" snacks still carry with them additional sugar, refined flour, and harmful preservatives. Your granola bar, or flavoured yogurt, contains the same amount of sugar as the sweets you want to avoid. Make a habit of reading the ingredient list; it serves you well. Do not trust the front of the packet - Always inspect what is inside because that is what truly matters.   Healthy Turning Into Heavy Portions The Nuts, Seeds, Peanut Butter, and Avocados that are actually healthy and rich in nutrients for you are also high in calories. Eating them excessively exceeds what you actually need from them, and an excess of anything is never good. A small bowl is enough and fulfills your health goals. A large bowl does not help; it distracts.  Avoiding Meals Leads To Cravings, More Cravings, More Hunger  Skipping meals might be discipline for you, but it often leads to intense hunger afterwards. When you feel more hungry, you want that quick bite, which usually is sugary and processed. Regular, balanced meals keep your blood sugar in check, and decrease the need for sudden snacks. Eating on time actually improves your control.  It Is Not Your Snack, But Your Habit That Creates Balance Healthy snacking is very good. But it should be followed with full awareness and proper planning , as losing control is your biggest mistake. When you eat with balance, make a habit of reading labels on packages of your healthy snack, respect the portion size, and avoid restricting yourself; healthy snacking really supports your health.

Mahindra Targets 2027 For Scorpio N Pick-Up Launch In India

Mahindra Targets 2027 For Scorpio N Pick-Up Launch In India

Unlike pickup loving markets like the USA or Australia, India has not accepted the pickup truck with only Toyota and Isuzu currently selling their pickups in India. The Hilux is a niche highend offering while the Isuzu is priced at the lower end. Now Mahindra and Tata have had pickups but the Scorpio N pickup will be a lifestyle offering which would be coming to India. Scorpio N Pickup: Positioning and Strategy The Scorpio N pickup was earlier shown at an event in South Africa while it will be coming to India in a toned down avatar. The Scorpio N pickup will be a lifestyle offering in India and would be a niche offering since the segment is small but the appeal of the Scorpio brand can change things. The Scorpio N pickup will be tough and have a design which is similar to the SUV but it will have some small tweaks to make it tougher looking. There would be bigger wheels and 4x4 would be standard while only a diesel is expected to be offered. Called Global Pik up concept, the Scorpio N pickup will be having a different name but the Scorpio brand would be attached. We do not think the Scorpio N pickup will be a commercial offering as it will be catering to premium lifestyle oriented owners but they could have a no frills base version for the commerical pick up space. The Scorpio N brand is strong and the pickup would be an interesting choice if not as volume centric as the SUVs.

7 ‘Natural’ Supplements That May Damage Your Liver And Kidneys

7 ‘Natural’ Supplements That May Damage Your Liver And Kidneys

Many people assume that if a supplement is labelled “natural,” it must be safe. But that belief can be misleading. Several herbal and dietary supplements, commonly taken to boost health or fill nutritional gaps, may pose risks, especially for those with pre-existing liver or kidney conditions. A study published in the National Library of Medicine in the United States highlights that herbal and dietary supplements are categorised as food products, meaning they are meant to support dietary intake. However, this does not automatically make them safe for everyone. In some cases, certain supplements can put additional strain on vital organs. Here’s a closer look at seven products that may require caution. ALSO READ: 6 Fitness Mistakes Everyone Makes, And Simple Fixes For Faster Results 1. Green Tea Extract (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Drinking a cup of green tea is generally considered safe for most people. However, concentrated green tea extract capsules are a different story. According to the journal Clinical Liver Disease, these supplements contain high levels of catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). In excessive amounts, EGCG has been linked to liver inflammation and even serious liver injury. The risk may be higher in individuals who already have liver-related issues. While the antioxidant properties of green tea are widely promoted, the concentrated form in pills may overwhelm the liver’s metabolic capacity. This makes medical consultation crucial before starting such supplements, especially if you have an existing liver condition. 2. High-Dose Protein Powders (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Protein supplements are popular among bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts. But consuming them in high doses without medical supervision can create complications. Excess protein increases nitrogen waste in the body, which the kidneys must filter and eliminate. For individuals with chronic kidney disease or reduced kidney function, this additional workload may accelerate deterioration. While protein is essential for muscle growth and repair, more is not always better. Overuse of protein powders can quietly strain kidney health over time, particularly in those already at risk. 3. Fat-Soluble Vitamins (A, D, E and K) (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Unlike water-soluble vitamins that the body excretes easily, fat-soluble vitamins accumulate in tissues. Vitamins A, D, E and K are stored in the liver and fatty tissues, meaning excess intake can build up over time. High doses of vitamin A, in particular, may put pressure on the liver and lead to toxicity. Similarly, uncontrolled intake of vitamins D and E, without medical advice, can pose health risks, especially for individuals with liver or kidney conditions. Supplementation should always be guided by blood tests and professional recommendations. 4. Iron Supplements (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Iron is essential for the body, but excessive intake can be harmful. Taking iron supplements without confirmed deficiency may lead to iron overload. According to StatPearls Journal, a condition known as haemochromatosis occurs when excess iron accumulates in body tissues, including the liver. This overload can impair organ function and cause long-term damage. Since iron levels vary significantly among individuals, supplementation should only follow proper medical testing and guidance. 5. Certain Herbal Remedies (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Herbal does not always mean harmless. Some traditional remedies have been associated with liver toxicity. Comfrey contains compounds that may cause severe liver damage. Black cohosh, often used for menopause symptoms, has been linked to liver-related side effects. Garcinia cambogia, commonly found in weight-loss products, has also been associated with liver injury. A key concern is that many herbal products lack strict regulation regarding ingredient purity and concentration. Without consistent quality control, users may unknowingly consume harmful levels of active substances. 6. Liquorice Root (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Liquorice root, widely used in traditional remedies, contains glycyrrhizin. This compound may raise blood pressure and lower potassium levels in the body. Such effects can be particularly dangerous for individuals with kidney disease or heart conditions. Excessive intake may disrupt electrolyte balance, putting additional stress on vital organs. Supplements containing liquorice should be consumed cautiously and under supervision, especially for those with underlying health concerns. 7. Detox And Fat-Burning Pills (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Detox and fat-burning supplements often promise quick results. However, these products may contain stimulants, diuretics or unknown chemical combinations. Such ingredients can interfere with liver metabolism and kidney filtration processes. The liver must work harder to break down these substances, which may increase oxidative stress and inflammation. Over time, this added strain can affect overall organ function. People with pre-existing liver conditions may be especially vulnerable to these risks. While supplements can support health when used appropriately, they are not risk-free. Labelling a product as “natural” does not guarantee safety. Individuals with kidney or liver concerns should consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement. Informed choices, regular medical check-ups and responsible use remain the best safeguards for protecting long-term organ health.
