How Cold is too Cold (Dogs)?
Key factors influencing a dog's tolerance to cold include breed, size, age, health conditions, and coat condition. Dogs with thick fur coats, like Huskies and Malamutes, are more suited to cold weather, while smaller dogs and those with short coats, like Chihuahuas and Greyhounds, may struggle more. Dogs can start feeling cold at temperatures below 45°F. Pet owners should monitor their dogs for signs of discomfort, provide adequate shelter, and consider using sweaters, heated pads, or booties to keep their pets warm. Article by: vetexplainspets.com
