Morning. Here's what your dog is dealing with today.
Checked everything. Here's what matters.
That double coat makes 87°F feel much hotter. Running is a bad idea. Walking early or late is fine, fetch only in shade or on wet grass. They'll seem fine right up until they're not — these breeds hide fatigue behind enthusiasm. Set a timer.
Dogs breathe 15–30 times per minute and inhale more particles per pound than you. When air quality is bad, they get it worse. Keep walks short on hazy days.

Today's Health Notes
Breed-specific advice for Labrador Retrievers in today's conditions.
Dry heat draws moisture from your thick-coated dog's skin and coat. Hydration is critical. A well-hydrated double coat actually helps regulate temperature better than a dehydrated one.
Dry heat pulls moisture from a thick coat. Brush regularly to distribute natural oils — it keeps the coat healthy and improves its natural insulating properties.
Dry heat dries out the skin under a thick coat, weakening the skin barrier. That's when environmental allergens penetrate and cause itching, hot spots, and redness. A humidifier indoors helps more than you'd think.
Dry heat training for thick coats: early morning water work if you have access. Swimming is the only exercise that tires them out without overheating. Plus you can train retrieves.
