Humidity and Pets

Humidity can exacerbate the effects of heat on pets, making it harder for them to cool down. It’s crucial to monitor your pet’s behavior during humid days. Ensure they have plenty of water and a cool place to rest. Some breeds, especially brachycephalic ones like Bulldogs and Pugs, are more susceptible to heat stress. Keep these pets indoors during high humidity. Also, be aware that humidity can cause skin issues, especially in long-haired breeds. Regular grooming helps to prevent matting and skin problems. Using a dehumidifier indoors can also improve comfort for both pets and owners.
