Even though animals have a coat of fur, when it’s cold and wintry out pets get cold! It’s very
important as pet owners to understand the responsibilities you have in keeping your
pets warm and cozy!
Susan
Nelson, a clinical associate professor and veterinarian at the Kansas State
University College of Veterinary Medicine’s Pet Health Center put it simply, “A
general rule of thumb is if it is too cold for you outside, it is too cold for
your dog.”
Nelson went on to say how diversity among dogs impacts how
they endure the cold weather differently, “Small Stature and short coats, such
as with a Chihuahua, make dogs less tolerant of cold weather. Some of these dogs may not even tolerate
cooler temperatures that are still above freezing for very long.” Nelson added, “Larger body mass and longer,
plusher coats allow dogs to tolerate lower temperatures for longer duration's –think Siberian husky.”
Another way to help pets get used to the cold is gradually
exposing them to colder
temperatures. This will allow for
the animal to gradually grow their winter fur coat.
Animal boots, sweaters and jackets can provide another added
protection between your pet and the cold climate. All Pet has the items in stock now to help
