The Best Way to Keep Dogs Warm This Winter
Unless your dog was bred for the Arctic, it’s probably a challenge to keep them warm in the winter. It can be difficult for dog owners to know when it’s too cold and what to do. Dogs still need activity and socialization in the winter, but what’s the best way to keep your dog warm? Spoiler alert: we have a solution.
When is it Too Cold?
We humans know our cold weather tolerance and how to keep ourselves warm in the winter. Knowing when it’s too cold for your dog can be challenging. Some signs that your dog needs help to keep warm in the winter include shivering, whining or barking, tail tucking, hunched posture, lifting paws off the ground, or suddenly anxious behavior.
Who is Most at Risk?
Some breeds are less optimized for the cold than others. Dogs with thick double coats, like huskies and malamutes, have evolved to withstand the cold. Dogs with short or thin coats need help to keep warm. Small dogs, puppies, and older or underweight animals can also have difficulty in the cold.
Risks of Letting Your Dog Get Too Cold
Although many dogs love to be outside even when they’re too cold, dogs can endure lasting effects if they don’t keep warm. Dogs face many of the same cold-weather issues as humans. Frostbite or life-threatening hypothermia can affect dogs. Contact your veterinarian immediately if you think your dog may be experiencing hypothermia or frostbite.
