❄️ How Cold is Too Cold to Walk Your Dog? 🐾
Winter adventures are fun, but freezing temperatures can be risky for your pup! Here’s a quick guide to keep your furry friend safe:
🌡️ Above 45°F: Perfect walking weather for most dogs. No worries, just enjoy!
🌡️ 32–45°F: Some dogs, especially smaller breeds or those with short coats, may start feeling chilly. A sweater or coat can help!
🌡️ 20–32°F: Time to be cautious! Watch for signs like shivering, whining, or lifting paws. Limit walks for sensitive breeds.
🌡️ Below 20°F: 🛑 Danger! Frostbite and hypothermia are serious risks. Stick to quick potty breaks and keep walks short.
🐾 Cold Weather Safety Tips:
✔️ Protect their paws with booties or balm to prevent damage from ice and salt.
✔️ Dry them off after walks to avoid chills.
✔️ Pay attention to their behavior—if they seem uncomfortable, head back inside.
