To keep warm, be careful not to let the dog lie down on the cold ground anymore. You can put clothes on the dog to keep its belly warm. You can also wrap your dog in a blanket and place it in a warm kennel. If the weather is cold, you can put a hot water bottle in the kennel.

2. Supplement nutrition. Dogs will have a poor appetite when they have a cold, and their intestines and stomach are easily affected at this time. Owners should pay attention to supplementing their dogs with nutrients to help strengthen their physique to resist colds. If you have time, you can make some meat porridge, vegetable porridge, chicken soup or homemade nutrition. If you don't have time, you can feed some nutritional paste and canned wet food.

3. Other matters needing attention. Dogs with a cold will have fever, runny nose, watery eyes, etc., which will make the dog very uncomfortable. Owners should pay attention to measuring the body temperature regularly. If it is found to be over 39.5 degrees, they should be sent to the hospital for treatment in time, instead of feeding the dog some antipyretics.
