Dogs are afraid of the cold

Don’t think that dogs won’t get cold because they have fur. It’s just that dogs don’t convey this information to us and can only rely on the owner’s careful observation. In winter, small dogs, especially puppies, old dogs and sick dogs have the most difficult time, and owners must give them the most care and attention.

The period when puppies are just born is a big difficulty for their survival, and it will be even more difficult if it happens to be winter. Colds, hepatitis, gastrointestinal problems, etc. may threaten their health in winter.

In addition, winter is a period of high incidence for dogs, including canine distemper, canine parvovirus disease, canine infectious hepatitis, canine coronavirus infection and canine adenovirus type II infection .

Which dog is most afraid of the cold?

Greyhound, Miniature Doberman, Chihuahua, Poodle, Bull Terrier, Pekingese, Yorkshire Terrier, English Bulldog, French Bulldog, Doberman Pinscher, etc. Short-haired dogs, small dogs, and dogs whose origin is not in the cold zone are more sensitive to the cold. Owners must take measures to keep out the cold for these dogs.

Some owners turn on heaters to keep their dogs warm in winter, but this approach is not ideal. Because some dogs have narrow respiratory systems, such as bulldogs, Pekingese dogs, etc., their own respiratory systems are not very good. If a heater is added, it will make their breathing more difficult. If the owner still wants to turn on the heater, he can put a glass of water next to the heater to increase the humidity and allow the dog to breathe comfortably.

How do dogs behave when they are afraid of the cold?

In the middle of winter, when you see a dog curling up with its entire body and shaking constantly, it means that the dog is cold. Owners should keep their dogs warm. They can wear warm clothes and turn on the heater or air conditioner at home to let their dogs feel the warmth of winter. Please remember to put a basin of water in the room to increase the air humidity, which will make the dog feel warmer. It’s good for your dog’s health and your own.

Precautions for dogs in autumn

1. Do not let dogs lie on the ground. Generally, there is less hair on the abdomen, so it is easy for dogs to catch cold. Dogs can easily catch colds in autumn because of the change of seasons.

2. When bathing your dog, be sure to blow dry it to ensure that the dog does not catch cold.

3. If your dog is relatively young, take it out less often. Puppies have poor immunity and are easily infected with diseases.

4. In autumn, dogs will suffer from some diseases or dry skin due to dry air. We should pay attention to skin care.
