Are dogs afraid of cold?

Dogs, such as huskies and border herders, which are native to high latitudes and low temperatures, or large dogs, such as Akita, are usually not afraid of cold, while puppies and small dogs, such as Teddy and Chihuahua, are afraid of cold. For dogs that are afraid of cold, the owner should pay attention to heightening and thickening the kennel, and pay attention to dressing the dog when going out.

1. Some dogs are not afraid of cold.

Whether dogs are afraid of cold depends mainly on the breed of dogs. For huskies, corgi, border dogs and other large dogs originating in high latitude and low temperature areas, or Akita dogs, their cold resistance is relatively strong, and they are usually not afraid of cold, but they are very afraid of heat. For Teddy, Chihuahua and other small dogs, as well as puppies, no matter how strong their hair is, their physique will still be poor, and their bodies will be more afraid of the cold.

But for dogs who are not afraid of cold, if the weather temperature difference changes too much, too fast and too frequently, the body can't stand it, so in such weather, the owner should also pay attention to keeping the dog warm. Sleeping, bathing and catching a cold are also moments when dogs are afraid of the cold, so the owner should also pay attention to keeping the dog warm at this time.

Second, cold dogs need to keep out the cold in winter 1, and keep out the cold indoors.

Compared with the northern area, although the temperature in the southern area is a little higher, the room has no heating. Therefore, when the weather is cold, the owner should move the kennel indoors, increase the height and thickness of the dog, put more warm clothes such as cotton pads, and of course, it is best to feed the dog more warm water.

Step 2 keep out the cold outdoors

When the outdoor temperature is low, the owner should try not to take the dog out. If it is necessary to go out, the owner can put some warm clothes on the dog to prevent it from catching cold when going out. Once a dog catches a cold, its owner should not take it out for activities.
