How to improve the cold resistance of dogs;

1, maintain a comfortable temperature indoors: The easiest way to improve the dog's cold-resistance is to pay attention to the temperature of the living environment. Keeping warm is very important. If it gets cold, it's best to adjust the room temperature with heating. The temperature of dogs is higher than that of people, and the room temperature of 18 ~ 22℃ is the most comfortable for them. So be careful not to turn on the heating too hot.

2, improve metabolism: when the weather gets cold, dogs who are afraid of cold will be too lazy to move or even don't want to go out. But staying at home all the time will be counterproductive, and so will humans! Even if you still have to go out and walk in winter, you should take your dog for a walk to improve your metabolism!

3, food supplement: you can eat some ingredients that can regulate your body in winter, such as brown rice, mutton, potatoes, carrots and so on. However, some foods that are beneficial to human beings may not be eaten by dogs, such as onions and grapes. Please be careful when cooking!

Even if dogs don't have cold constitution, it doesn't mean they are not cold constitution! Usually, we should get into the habit of observing the dog more often, and always confirm the dog's physical condition, so as to find it at the first time and improve it as soon as possible before the dog gets sick!
