Dog Health & Weather in Glasgow, Scotland
Live dog health conditions for Glasgow, Scotland — updated hourly.
Morning. Here's what your dog is dealing with today.
Checked everything. Here's what matters.
Rain walks are in their DNA. That double coat is waterproof — the outer layer repels water while the undercoat insulates. They'll love this. Just towel the undercoat when you're back — trapped moisture causes hot spots if you skip it.
Mold spore counts spike 12–24 hours after rain. Tomorrow might be the worse day for allergies, not today. Wipe paws and belly when you get home — dogs absorb allergens through their skin, not their nose.

Today's Health Notes
Breed-specific advice for Labrador Retrievers in today's conditions.
Rain is nothing for a double coat. The outer layer repels water while the undercoat insulates. Let them enjoy it. But do dry them properly after — a damp undercoat breeds bacteria.
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.
