At what temperature will dogs feel cold?

The lowest temperature that dogs can bear is about MINUS 30℃. Generally, dogs with large size and long hair are originally from cold areas and are hardy, such as Samoyed (sled dog) and Husky, who like cold very much.

On the contrary, small dogs and short-haired dogs are more afraid of cold. Chihuahua, VIP, Bixiong and other short-haired small dogs, or old and sick dogs, or arthritis dogs, have relatively weak cold resistance and are prone to catch a cold, causing gastrointestinal discomfort. It is suggested that the temperature in the kennel should be kept between 13- 15℃ in winter, and dogs should be properly dressed to keep out the cold when going out.

Matters needing attention in winter:

First, provide quality food. In winter, physical energy consumption is relatively fast, so the feeding amount and frequency of dog food can be appropriately increased, and dogs who eat homemade food can appropriately supplement some meat and vitamin nutrition.

Second, provide fresh water. Please make sure that dogs living outdoors have enough water and need proper heating in cold weather. Don't freeze their diet with ice water. Small animals spend the winter

Third, prevent frostbite. When the temperature drops to freezing point, dogs that spend the night outdoors may suffer from tissue frostbite. Please provide a warm indoor environment, cotton nest, mattress and so on for dogs. Try to minimize the dog living in a cold environment. Longgang pet store

Fourth, keep your body dry. Be sure to dry your bath in winter; Don't play on the ice, especially the ice that is not frozen firmly; Don't walk the dog with a metal leash in winter.

Fifth, protect the dog's feet. Ice and snow often contain calcium chloride, which will stick to the toes when dogs go out for a walk, and will be eaten when dogs lick their feet. Calcium chloride can cause vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. So, when you go home in the snow, please clean the dog's toes first.
