Today's Health Notes
Breed-specific advice for Labrador Retrievers in today's conditions.
Getting warm for a thick coat. Walking and light play are fine, but save the hard running for a cooler day. Brush out any loose undercoat — it helps airflow.
Warm weather triggers the coat blow. Your thick-coated dog is dropping undercoat like it's their job. Embrace the brush — 15 minutes a day keeps the tumbleweeds under control.
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.
