Ever notice your dog sniffs EVERYTHING more in the summer? 🐶🌿
That’s actually science.
Warm air helps scents travel farther and linger longer, so your dog’s nose gets a seasonal “signal boost.” Add in more wildlife, plants, and outdoor activity, and their brain is BUSY decoding the world around them. 🧠✨
And the best part? Sniffing is great mental enrichment for dogs.
Just keep an eye out for:
🚩 Excessive sneezing
🚩 Head shaking
🚩 Pawing at the face
🚩 Nose discharge
Summer noses can also mean exposure to foxtails, ticks, parasites, and allergens.
If something feels off, let us know. 💙
