I live in an area that has 70-80% humidity and a the high temperature being around 70 degrees fahrenheit with the average in the 60s. What is the best way to cool down the room if needed and lower the humidity? I plan on getting two chin chillers and I have an A/C with a dehumidifier function on my list. Is that enough, or would I have to do something else? What are the health risks of the chin being in a cool but humid environment?
 
If you can get the humidity down to at least 60% you should be ok. The biggest issues with high humidity, assuming the temp is ok, is chin's fur can get moldy because it becomes damp and also fungal infections like ringworm.
