The impact of Indian weather on dogs varies by breed. Heat-sensitive breeds like Shih Tzus and Golden Retrievers may struggle in cities with temperatures exceeding 40°C, requiring air-conditioned spaces and limited outdoor activity during peak heat. Coastal cities with high humidity can slow down a dog's cooling process, increasing the risk of heatstroke. Monsoon rains exacerbate risks such as fungal skin infections, ear infections, and tick infestations, particularly in breeds with dense or floppy coats. Owners must be vigilant about drying their pets thoroughly and avoiding stagnant water to prevent diseases like leptospirosis.
