Dog Health & Weather in Cleveland, OH
Live dog health conditions for Cleveland, OH — updated hourly.
Good morning, Cleveland dog parents!
That 89% humidity makes 67°F feel muggier than usual, and 12 mph wind plus rain means wet fur will be sticking around.
Today's 67°F and 89% humidity make it feel muggier than the temp suggests for our thick-coated Labs and other Cleveland pups. With rain and 12 mph wind, that fur will be soaked! Keep walks efficient to avoid excessive dampness and don't let them chill too long.
Did you know high humidity (like today's 89%) makes it harder for dogs to cool down by panting? It's like trying to dry off in a steamy Cleveland bathroom!

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