despite how excited your dog is to zoom
me through the winter snow dropping
temperatures could prove to be too cold
for your best friend
your pups breed and size can help you
determine when it's best to stay in or
put them in a jacket before going to the
park here's what you need to know

let's start by breaking down our cold
weather safety chart
when the temperature hits 40 degrees
fahrenheit which is around 4 degrees
celsius it's potentially unsafe for
little to medium-sized dogs to be
outside
big dogs on the other hand can probably
handle these conditions
but size alone isn't enough to determine
when it's too cold outside for your pup
here are three things to consider
your dog's hair or fur impact how they
handle chilly days
dogs with thinner coats should bundle up
when the temperature is below 45 degrees

no matter the dog rainy cold weather
often calls for keeping your pet inside
as much as possible

cold friendly breeds that aren't
strangers to outdoor winter fun can
adhere to their comfort levels
just make sure to monitor their play
time for signs it's time to go inside
if your dog starts showing signs of
hypothermia act fast symptoms include
shaking lethargy stiff muscles low heart
rate and dilated pupils

quickly move your pup to a warm area
cover them with blankets and call your
vet right away
if you try to warm your dog with heating
blankets or bottles it's crucial to put
several layers between the heating
elements and your dog to avoid burning
their skin
no one takes care of your pups as well
as you do
we're just here to help so they can have
safe snow filled fun adventures
