During monsoon season, increased humidity allows odor molecules to linger, making damp corners more appealing to dogs' sensitive noses.
Dampness promotes mold and mildew growth, releasing VOCs that dogs can detect, leading to persistent sniffing.
Excessive sniffing at damp areas, coupled with symptoms like coughing or skin irritation, may indicate mold exposure and warrants a vet visit.
