When winter is cold, whether your furry child (dog or cat) needs to wear a coat depends on their breed, coat volume and health. Here are some practical suggestions to help you, your furry horse, judge and protect your furry children.
When winter is cold, whether your furry child (dog or cat) needs to wear a coat depends on their breed, coat volume and health. Here are some practical suggestions to help you identify and protect your furry children:
Dogs with short or single-coat hair: such as Chihuahuas, bulldogs, and dachshunds, do not have enough hair to withstand the cold.
Puppies or elderly dogs: have poor body temperature regulation ability and are prone to cold.
Small dogs: such as Yorkshire Terriers and Maltese, have smaller bodies and dissipate heat quickly.
Sick or shaved dogs: If they have just been shaved or are in a weak condition, they need to be kept warm even more.
Indoor cats may not need it: cats usually live indoors and have strong adaptability, but shaved cats may consider thin sweaters.
But what can you do if you don’t want to put a coat on it?
Provide a warm environment:
Cover their resting area with a blanket or soft sleeping pad.
Avoid lying directly on the cold floor.
When using a heater indoors, make sure it is safe and has enough space for your furry child to move freely.
Limit outdoor activities during cold weather:
Keep outdoor walks to a minimum, especially in temperatures below 10°C.
If it snows or the ground is icy, consider wearing non-slip shoes or drying the soles of your feet to avoid frostbite.
Diet modification:
Moderately increase caloric intake, but be careful to avoid being overweight, which may affect your health.
Provide warm water for drinking to help them maintain their body temperature.
Proper exercise:
Increase your activity indoors to help maintain body temperature.
Ultimately, it’s important to observe your furry child’s reactions. If it seems comfortable and happy, you’re doing the right thing!
