Can Dogs Get Sick From Being In The Cold For Too Long?
Can Dogs Get Sick From Being In The Cold For Too Long?
Well,not sick,but they can get hypothermia and frostbite if they are not used to the cold or have a thin hair coat. And toy breeds like Chihuahuas and Min Pins can't last long in the cold at all.The same is true for very yong puppies and elderly dogs. But just a potty break isn't going to do anything,and the dog wil let you know when it wants to go in ( it will shiver,lift it's feet,etc.)
Depends on the dog. Some dogs with double coats don't mind being out in the cold. My dog which is a shepherd/malamute mix, will stay outside all day if I let him. He doesn't mind the cold at all, however, a dog without a double coat would probably not enjoy being out for long periods of time with out some kind of sweater or coat.
