How to walk the dog in cold weather?

So, under what circumstances do dogs feel cold? ?

1, variety difference?

In fact, it is also the difference of coat types. Different varieties have different cold tolerance due to different fur structures. Those dogs with double fur are more hardy. For example, Demu, Saint Bernard, Akita, Husky, Samoyed, Alaska and other dogs are all native to high temperature areas, so their fur structure is also warm and cold-resistant. ?

Accordingly, some dog breeds are really sensitive to cold because of their short hair or low body fat content, such as: Whipple, Lingti, Foxtrot Terrier, Pharaoh hound, crested hair, Chihuahua, Du Binquan and various miniature dog breeds. ?

2. What are the differences in age and size?

Middle-aged and elderly dogs are easy to be afraid of cold, and puppies have poor cold tolerance. ?

Thin dogs are prone to cold, while small dogs have poor cold tolerance. ?

3. Air humidity?

As we all know, the weather in the south is like magic. The predicted temperature is not low, but it feels like a puncture attack. Dogs in the same humid air area are also more likely to feel cold. ?

4. Height will also affect the temperature. ?

Cold air is heavier than warm air, so shorter dogs are more likely to feel cold. ?

Dogs often feel cold in rainy and snowy weather. ?

The meat pad will be colder if it comes into direct contact with rain and snow. ?

At the same time, it also explains two common misunderstandings:?

1, just because you feel cold doesn't mean your dog feels cold. Whether the dog is cold or not depends on the dog's performance, not whether you feel cold. ?

2, the dog's natural hair will keep out the cold, do not need to keep the dog warm? According to this statement, dogs with natural sweaters are limited to those northern breeds with thick fur and limited to a certain temperature. Even wolves will find shelter in the wild and freeze to death. ?

Finally, Dr. Paw Paw wants to say that complaining is always complaining. Dogs have to walk except in extreme weather.

Here are some suggestions for walking the dog in cold weather:

1, don't mind other people's eyes, do you want to keep your dog warm? ?

2. When the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, let the dog adapt to the cold temperature at the stairs first, and then go for a walk. ?

3. There is a great temperature difference between morning and evening in winter, so pay attention to the time of walking the dog. You'd better let the dog bask in the sun when you come out at noon. ?

4. In case of rain and snow, the dog must be cleaned and dried in time when walking home, and the dog will be frostbitten. ?

The time for walking the dog in winter can be shortened appropriately. ?

Finally, Dr. Paw Paw wishes the shovel officers a happy winter walk and be careful not to catch a cold.
