Dog Health & Weather in Savannah, GA
Live dog health conditions for Savannah, GA — updated hourly.
Hey — quick update for your dog.
The numbers tell a story today.
91°F + 68% humidity turns a double coat into a sauna. No running, no fetch, no extended yard time. Early morning or after sunset only — and even then, bring water and watch for heavy panting. They'll keep going past their limit.
Concrete is 10–15°F cooler than asphalt in the same sun. If you have to walk on hard surfaces today, pick the lighter-colored ones. Or better yet, stick to grass.

Today's Health Notes
Breed-specific advice for Labrador Retrievers in today's conditions.
Never shave the coat to help with heat — it actually makes things worse by removing UV protection and disrupting their insulation system. Instead, brush thoroughly and limit outdoor time.
Brush out that undercoat today. In humidity, a packed undercoat turns into a moisture trap against the skin. 10 minutes of brushing makes a big difference in their comfort.
Hot, humid air triggers skin fold dermatitis in thick-coated breeds. The areas where fur is densest stay damp longest. After any outdoor time, check between the toes and under the ears — these are the first spots to flare.
Bored thick-coated dogs in hot weather are destructive dogs. Channel that energy into training — 15 minutes of 'heel' practice inside is more tiring than you'd think for a breed that wants to work.
