Is your dog’s fur coat enough? How cold is too cold for your dog? The answer is tricky because dogs vary in size, amount of fur, activity level, age, weight, and cold tolerance.


Factors that affect cold tolerance:

• A Dog’s Coat •
In general, dogs with an undercoat (such as Alaskan Huskies) can play in the snow up to 30 minutes without harm, but even Huskies can feel the effects of cold temperatures if they are not accustomed to the cold temperatures. Single-coated and short-coated dogs such as Boxers and Bullmastiffs have a low tolerance to cold weather, and a coat is recommended in temperatures approaching freezing. Remember that wind chill, rain, and snow can lower a dog’s temperature even further.

• A Dog’s Age •
Very young and very old dogs are also sensitive to cold temperatures, and may lack the agility and coordination to walk on icy surfaces. A boot/jacket combination is recommended for these dogs. Cold temperatures can also activate arthritis, so be sensitive to older dogs or dogs with health issues.

• A Dog’s Weight •
Dogs under 20 pounds are generally more susceptible to hypothermia. They have less fat and are generally closer to the ground, making them more prone to chill. For these breeds, full-coverage body protection, such as that found on the Cloud Chaser™ storm jacket, is recommended.
