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 in coat types. Different varieties have different tolerance to cold due to different fur structures. Those dogs with double coats are more hardy. For example, Dem, Saint Bernard, Akita, Husky, Samoyed and Alaskan all live in high temperature areas, so their fur structure is also warm and cold-resistant. ?

Correspondingly, some dog breeds are very sensitive to the cold because of their short hair or low body fat content, such as Whipple, Lingti, Toy Foxtrot, 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 tend to feel cold, and puppies have poor cold tolerance. ?

Thin dogs tend to feel cold, and small dogs have poor cold tolerance. ?

3. Air humidity?

As we all know, the weather in the south is like a magic attack. 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 drops a lot and warm air rises a little, so shorter dogs are more likely to feel cold. ?

Dogs feel cold easily in rainy and snowy weather. ?

If you are in direct contact with rain and snow, the meat pad will be colder. ?

Please refer to the following table for the specific effects of temperature on dog health:

? Can dogs go out? Be careful. Risk? Avoid going out?

/kloc-small dogs over 0/2? Arrive at 7? 10 - 1 ? Under 4-6?

Medium-sized dogs 10 above 7 or so? - 1 ? Below 4- 12?

Large dogs over 7 years old? 4 ? -6 ? Below 1- 12?

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 depends on the dog's performance, not whether you feel cold. ?

2. The dog's natural hair will keep out the cold, so don't you need to keep the dog warm? In this view, dogs with natural sweaters are limited to those northern breeds with thick fur and limited to a certain temperature. Even wolves will find shelter from the cold in the wild and freeze to death at the same time. ?

Finally, Dr. Paw Paw wants to say that complaints always complain. 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, whether to keep the dog warm or not. ?

2. When there is a big difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures, 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 we should pay attention to the time of walking the dog. Dogs had better get some sunshine when they 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 to walk happily in the warm winter and be careful not to catch a cold.
