As winter approaches and temperatures gradually drop, many pet owners are concerned about whether their dogs need to wear clothes to protect themselves from the cold.

Dogs, like cats, have hair on their bodies, but not all dogs can withstand low temperatures well. With cats needing extra protection from the cold, we have to ask: Do dogs also need to wear clothes to protect themselves from the cold in the winter?

So what is the cold tolerance of dogs, and under what circumstances should they be provided with additional warmth.

Dispel the myth! Not all dogs can handle the cold winter. Does your dog need to keep warm? p>First of all, we need to understand the lowest temperature that dogs can withstand. A chart produced by veterinary academics at Tufts University shows the different temperatures that dogs of different sizes can tolerate. This chart uses the temperature range from 15 degrees to -15 degrees. Green means the dog feels the temperature is moderate, and red means the dog feels particularly cold. </p><p>In addition, if the environment is humid, the temperature that the dog can tolerate needs to increase by 2 bars; if the dog adapts to the temperature or wears a coat, the tolerable temperature can decrease by 1 bar. </p><p>According to the chart, most dogs can stay comfortable at an outside temperature of around 7 degrees. However, some small and medium-sized dogs may feel very dangerous in an environment below 7 degrees. -4 degrees is the ultimate temperature that most dogs can withstand. </p><p>Dogs are relatively cold-tolerant, but this also depends on factors such as breed, size, and age. Most dogs can stay comfortable within a certain range of temperatures, but some small and older dogs may be more sensitive to cold. </p><p>Although most dogs have high cold tolerance, there are exceptions. </p><p>Small dogs with thin fur, such as bulldogs, pugs, Yorkshire terriers and Chihuahuas, usually need extra warmth when the temperature is 0℃-3℃. </p><p>At the same time, puppies and elderly dogs also need appropriate measures to keep warm due to their weak body temperature regulation ability. </p><p>In addition, dog mothers who have just given birth to puppies also need to pay attention to keeping warm because their physical strength and various functions are unstable. </p><p>If you decide to buy clothing for your dog to keep warm, be sure to choose clothing that is comfortable and not tight. </p><p>Two-legged clothing should be based on chest circumference, while four-legged clothing should be based on back length. </p><p>Be careful when purchasing, as clothes that are too tight may restrict your dog’s movements or even cause harm to them. </p><p style=Dispel the myth! Not all dogs can handle the cold winter. Does your dog need to keep warm? p>How to choose the right clothes for your dog</p><p>Comfort: It is very important to choose clothes that are comfortable and make sure they are not tight on your dog. Especially for older dogs and dogs with skin problems, it is more important to choose soft and breathable fabrics. </p><p>Size: Choose the appropriate clothing size based on your dog’s body shape to ensure that the clothing can cover your dog’s body. Clothes that are too big or too small can affect your dog’s movement and comfort. </p><p>Material: Choose fabrics with good breathability and strong moisture absorption, which can help dogs stay dry and comfortable. At the same time, avoid choosing materials containing harmful substances to avoid affecting the health of your dog. </p><p>Safety: Make sure the clothing does not have sharp edges or decorations that could scratch or irritate your dog’s skin. In addition, avoid choosing clothing that is too tight or restricts your dog’s activities, so as not to affect their normal activities. </p><p>Although most dogs have a certain degree of cold tolerance, dogs under certain circumstances may require additional warmth. </p><p>Choosing the right clothes for your dog can not only help them survive the cold winter, but also avoid health problems caused by low temperatures. </p><p>As responsible pet owners, we should pay close attention to the needs of our dogs during the winter and take appropriate steps to ensure their comfort and safety. </p>
