In winter people will bundle themselves up in warm clothes including scarves, hats, mittens, stockings, and coats. Though we all know that dogs wear their coats year round, sometimes a coat alone is not enough to ward off the winter cold. Dogs, just like people, can contract serious conditions caused by cold including frostbite and hypothermia. For short haired dogs especially, it’s important to have them wear sweaters or boots or at least limit their time outside. For a larger, furrier animal, something like a fleece dog coat should suffice to keep them warm outside for a good deal of time.
Should you see your dog shivering or stopping often outside in the cold weather, take measures to warm them up indoors.
