Although dogs come with their own fur coats, not all “dog fur coats” are warm enough, and many dogs will still shiver from the cold in winter.

Come and see which dogs are particularly afraid of the cold!

Chihuahua

Its small size and short hair save the owner the cost of sending it to bathe and groom it, but it still needs to prepare winter clothes, a nest, and a blanket.

When the temperature drops, the owner will arrange warm clothes for it.

Bichon Frize, VIP

Although we have fur that looks furry and warm, it doesn’t keep us warm!

When the temperature is lower, he will shiver, curl up in the corner, and lie on the warm dog bed. However, there should be no shortage of good-looking clothes for Bichons and VIPs, right?

Fighting with France and Fighting with Heroes

French bulldogs and English bulldogs are short-haired, single-coated dogs. After cooling down, owners must dress them well to prevent them from catching cold! There are also dogs like bulldogs with short or even hairless hair. Dogs, you must pay more attention!

Bomei

Although Pomeranian is an Arctic sled dog (didn’t expect it!) and has long flowing hair, it is not very warm. Especially the little belly with sparse hair needs protection, so remember to prepare a warm nest for it!

Sick dog

During the period of illness, the dog’s resistance decreases and its ability to withstand cold will also decrease. Therefore, dogs during illness must keep warm to avoid aggravating the condition.

Puppies and senior dogs

Newborn puppies are more afraid of the cold and have low resistance, so they can easily get sick from the cold. Elderly dogs’ body functions decline, their metabolism slows down, and they are also more sensitive to cold.

In fact, many small dogs are very afraid of the cold, especially single-layered short-haired dogs. When you find that your dog is shivering after the temperature drops, habitually protects his belly and head, likes to huddle in corners, and doesn’t like to move... it all means that your dog is a little cold. You can put clothes on your dog, prepare a warm kennel, blankets, quilts, turn on the air conditioner, prepare electric blankets for your dog, etc.
