Certain dog breeds have thick layers of hair that is very effective in protecting them from the elements when cold weather strikes, but other dogs simply are not equipped to weather the cold weather. If your dog has a short coat or a thin/sparse coat, you may need to evaluate how well they are able to maintain a safe and comfortable level of warmth before sending them out in the cold without dog jackets!

A Dog’s Fur May Not Be Enough To Stay Warm Depending on the size of your dog and the levels of extreme weather conditions, there are many options for your dog. Rainy Weather Dogs with thick coats are not as affected by the rain because, while they do get wet, most of the water stays on the surface of their coats, so they do not experience that soaked to the skin feeling. If your dog has a thin, short, or sparse coat, the simple addition of a raincoat while the dog is our taking a walk or going out to eliminate will keep the wetness off the skin and protect him from getting too cold. Some dogs simply are so uncomfortable being out in the rain that they are hesitant to eliminate in rain storms. If this is a problem with your dog, then regardless of the thickness of his hair, you might definitely benefit from a canine rain slicker. Snowy Conditions For shorter dogs, regardless of how thick their coat is, snow is always a problem. As they go out to take a walk, snow can easily gather on their bellies. Even if the outside temperature is relatively mild, the dog's body temperature can drop to dangerous levels if you are not careful to protect them from gathering ice. Snow boots are something you might want to consider for all dogs that frequently have to walk in snowy conditions. Windy Weather Do not forget about the wind chill factor. If your dog shivers in windy conditions, look into getting a dog coat or even a sweater that can act as a wind breaker. Wind breakers for dogs come anywhere from a thin nylon jacket to something slightly heavier and fleece-lined. Just look around until you find one that is right for your pup. Cold Weather Even if you feel like the weather is fine, look for signs in your dog that she might be uncomfortable. Is she shivering? Is her tail tucked? Is she reluctant to stay outside? If so, make sure that you give her some help by providing her some appropriate dog apparel. Dog shirts, sweaters, jackets, coats, and parkas are NOT just cute. They are made because there is a strong need. You love your dog, so make sure all of her needs are met! |
