Dog Health & Weather in Brisbane, QLD

Live dog health conditions for Brisbane, QLD — updated hourly.

Good morning, Brisbane paw-rents!

Rainy skies mean the asphalt's cool for paws, making those city walks a treat without the usual scorching heat!

Today's 74°F temps with 73% humidity and rain make it a fantastic day for dogs, especially water-loving Labradors! Their thick coats will appreciate the cooler air and rain, but keep an eye out for dampness. No need to change your routine much today, just embrace the wet fun!

🩺With the flea and tick risk at 72/100 today, double-check your preventative is up to date, especially after a splash in the park. Brisbane ticks are no joke!
✂️After a rainy adventure, make sure to thoroughly dry thick-coated breeds like our Labs, especially under their armpits and belly. Dampness can lead to skin irritation or 'hot spots' in this humid Brisbane air.
🤧Great news for allergy-prone pups like many Labradors! Pollen levels are super low today across grass, tree, and weed types. Enjoy the fresh, clean air, but always keep an eye out for any damp-related skin sensitivities.
🎾Today's rain means the ground is cool and soft, perfect for a long sniffy walk around Roma Street Parkland or a game of fetch in your backyard. Just remember to towel off well afterwards!

Did you know that even on a rainy, cooler day with a UV Index of 6.5, your dog can still get sunburnt, especially on their nose or belly? Keep an eye on those exposed pink bits!

Today's Health Notes

Breed-specific advice for Labrador Retrievers in today's conditions.

🩺 Vet

That double coat is waterproof on the outside. Your thick-coated dog probably loves rain walks. Just dry the undercoat thoroughly when you're home — trapped moisture causes hot spots.

✂️ Groomer

After a rain walk, your thick-coated dog looks fine on the surface but the undercoat is wet. Towel the undercoat thoroughly or use a blow dryer — damp undercoat causes hot spots and musty smell.

🤧 Allergist

Rain soaks through the outer coat and creates a damp microclimate against the skin where yeast and bacteria multiply. If your thick-coated dog smells musty after rainy days, it's a skin infection brewing. Dry the undercoat thoroughly.

🎾 Trainer

Most thick-coated dogs don't mind rain, which makes it great training weather. Fewer people at the park means fewer distractions. Work on the skills that need a quieter environment.
