Of course, we need to understand how to be safe in the cold—but with huskies, it’s not the cold that worries us, it’s the warmer temperatures. We have to make sure they don’t overheat! 🥵
❄️☃️Yes, they can get TOO hot in the winter. ❄️ 🔥
Huskies LOVE the snow—they truly thrive in the cold.
We always joke that we don’t need a thermostat; we can tell the temperature by our dogs’ energy levels. The colder it gets, the more energy they have… and we can DEFINITELY not be lazy humans 😉
Contrary to what some people think, huskies (and many other type of dogs too) LOVE to run. The truth is, many dogs would overdo it if we humans didn’t know their limits. Working breeds often don’t have an off switch, so it’s crucial for us to recognize the signs and stay in tune with our dogs. This has also meant that some seasons have ended sooner for us compared to those with different types of dogs.
🏝On warmer winter runs, we:
* Take more breaks
* Keep distances shorter
* Make sure they’re well “souped” (aka hydrated)
* Go slower
🤓What adjustments do you make on warmer days? Do you have a cut-off temperature?
