A wet dog coat can hide more than water. Rain, swimming, bath time, and damp grass can trap debris and irritation close to the skin.
Quick Answer
After swimming, rain, or bath time, check paws, belly, armpits, ears, tail base, collar line, and any thick coat areas that stay damp. Dry hidden spots and watch for odor, redness, licking, or scratching.
What to check
- Paws, pads, nails, and between toes.
- Ears, belly, armpits, and tail base.
- Collar and harness contact points.
- Odor, redness, damp pockets, tenderness, or debris.
