Should dogs sleep with quilts to keep warm?

Now there is a kind of coldness, which makes mom think you are cold or grandma think you are cold, not only for children, but also for cats and dogs, because many pet owners now love their pets and take care of them as children. Some puppies are wrapped in thick clothes by their grandmothers and walk stiffly. This situation is not uncommon. Pet owners generally have such an old mother's mentality, afraid that cats and dogs will feel cold ... In summer, turning on the air conditioner is afraid of freezing, and it will cover cats and dogs with quilts, and it will be cold in winter.

In fact, cats and dogs have their own hair, which plays an important role in regulating body temperature. Dog hair can be divided into long hair and short hair. Short-haired dogs' hair is thin enough to resist the cold, so they need to be covered with a quilt. For example, Fadou, Dubinquan, Kejiquan and Chihuahua should pay attention to cover the quilt when it is cold, and wear clothes to keep warm when traveling in cold weather. Long-haired dogs have complex hair, which is divided into single hair and double hair. Pet owners need to judge whether the dog's hair is double or single. The common single coat is the Afghan hound. Although their hair is longer and thicker than short-haired dogs, they don't need to be covered when they sleep, but they need to keep warm when it is cold, and they need to keep warm when they go out.

Double fur is common on sleds. Huskies, Alaskans and Samoyeds all have double hairs, with thick fluff under them, which is their advantage in living in cold regions. Even if you run in the snow in winter, you won't feel cold, and you can adapt to the polar climate, so dogs with double fur don't need to cover themselves with quilts, otherwise they will only feel uncomfortable with heat. If you give Husky an extra quilt, the next day, you may find that the quilt has turned into a pile of rags. The only place where dogs are more susceptible to cold is their stomachs. There is almost no hair on their bellies. They usually protect their stomachs and maintain their body temperature when they sleep, so just be careful not to catch cold in their stomachs.

Actually, most pets don't feel cold. Dogs generally have hair protection and may feel hot. Healthy dogs can keep out the cold by regulating their body temperature. If you want to keep warm, some puppies or sick dogs born in winter, or breeds with poor constitution and short hair and no hair, need to pay attention. If the weather is cold, you can cover them with a soft thin quilt, which must not be too heavy or too thick.

Domestic cats like warm places. They will jump into the warm bed by themselves. They don't need a pet owner to cover it with a quilt. Cats often find the most comfortable place to sleep. When the weather is cold, they will choose to get into bed. If there are warmer places, heaters, electric stoves and other heating tools, cats prefer these places that make them feel warmer, and many cats are therefore very upset. Kind of funny. In summer, cats also feel hot. They won't get into the bed of their pet owners, and may sleep on the cold floor, so don't always think that pets will be cold, they will feel warmer.

In summer, they also like to stay in air-conditioned rooms. Not only do humans get hot, but pets also pay attention to providing them with comfortable cushions. Don't think that cats and dogs are hot enough to shave, or hot enough to wear a lot of clothes. Don't underestimate the role of their hair. As long as pet owners provide good warm-keeping tools, they will find the most comfortable way by themselves.
