Dog Health & Weather in Omaha, NE
Live dog health conditions for Omaha, NE — updated hourly.
Hey — quick update for your dog.
The numbers tell a story today.
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.
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.
