Episode 42: Weather & Your Dog: How the Seasons Can Affect Behavior and Well-Being
How does the weather affect our dogs? From hot summer days and keeping dogs cool to changes in behavior as the seasons shift, weather can have a bigger impact on our canine companions than we might realize. In this episode, we explore how heat, cold, changes in daylight and even changes in barometric pressure may affect dogs physically and behaviorally. We also talk about seasonal changes in mood and activity, how to recognize when your dog may be struggling with the weather, and practical ways to help them stay comfortable, enriched and happy throughout the year. As always, we approach the topic with curiosity, practical advice and a bit of humor—and a reminder that understanding what our dogs are experiencing is often the first step toward helping them.
