Dog Health & Weather in Reno, NV
Live dog health conditions for Reno, NV — updated hourly.
Good morning, Reno dog parents!
Clear skies feel great, but those Reno streets hit 130°F. Not good for paws, even for a quick bathroom break.
Even with just 80°F in the air, that 130°F asphalt is no joke for any dog, especially a thick-coated Labrador who can overheat quickly. Keep walks strictly to grass, and only during the cooler morning (before 9 am) or evening (after 7 pm) windows. Hydration is key; make sure your furry friend has plenty of fresh water available all day.
Even after sunset, Reno asphalt can stay hot enough to burn paws for 1-2 hours. That 7 PM walk still needs to be on grass or cool concrete!

Today's Health Notes
Breed-specific advice for Labrador Retrievers in today's conditions.
Warm is where thick-coated breeds start working harder to stay cool. They'll handle walks fine, but running or extended fetch will push them. Keep water available.
This is peak shedding season for double-coated breeds. Daily brushing saves your furniture and helps them regulate temperature. Use an undercoat rake — it's the right tool for the job.
Spring pollen clings to thick coats and gets carried indoors. Your dog becomes a walking allergen sponge. A quick brush after walks removes 80% of surface pollen before it transfers to your furniture and their skin.
Your thick-coated dog has energy to burn in warm weather. Channel it into structured exercise — heel work, fetch with obedience, or trail work. A tired brain beats a tired body.
