Why Dogs Sniff Damp Corners More in Monsoon Homes
• 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.

The monsoon season brings much-needed relief from the heat but also introduces challenges for homeowners, especially those with dogs. A common observation is that dogs tend to sniff damp corners of the house more frequently during this time. This behavior is driven by environmental factors and canine biology.
