| Best temperature to keep house This may be a stupid question,but here goes. What would you recommend to keep the thermostat set at in your home. I don't want my babies to get a chill, but I don't want them to be to hot either.Just wondered what was best.

I live in California...Corona. And I will always leave the thermostat at 75, I have done that temp for a while now and it seems to work really well. He isnt too hot and he isnt shaking.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Lol, only on YT would people worry about setting the temperature of the house for their dogs! I think it's important to keep newborn puppies warm, but most adult yorkies are comfortable with the same temperature you are comfortable with. Joey's breeder said, when you need a sweater, they need a sweater, so he has some cute little sweaters for when hubby sets the AC too low.

| Thanks for all the advice..I thought the same if I am cold they are cold,that makes sense I am just paranoid about everything. I have got to learn to chill out a little and not be so overprotective.LOL

| I wondered the same thing, when I first got Apple, so don't feel bad about it...I, actually, warmed her blanket, in the dryer every night for about a month, before I went to bed...Of course I wouldn't have her in the bed w/me, because I was afraid she'd fall out lol...Since I do keep the house pretty cool, I'm thinking about finding a cute little indoor dog house for her to put her bed in, for the cooler months...Right now, I have a little baby blanket in her bed, and I think that probably holds her heat...As far as learning to chill and not being so overprotective, well, good luck w/that lolol.... |

| I put the heat on yesterday. I am always cold and Buddy is always warm. I swear, whenever I touch him his body is warm! He's a bigger Yorkie so maybe this has something to do with it. Or he has Italian blood like everyone else in my family, except me. When I'm home the thermostat is set for 70-72 when I leave for work I put it down to 68. I can't get him to sleep under the blanket's either. He stay's on top! Drives me up the wall! |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | remember dogs temperatures run higher then ours. they are normally 101-102 degrees. so they will always feel warmer to us when we touch them.

| I'm cold-natured so I keep the house about 75 degrees. Dallas is usually comfy but Rory steals my heating pad every chance she gets. Sometimes she'll pretend she wants to cuddle but as soon as I move a bit, she cuddles up with the heating pad. lol |

YT 1000 Club Member | I'm really cold natured, and keep the house up toward 78°. Given how I take my guys hunting and how messy they can get, I have always clipped them pretty short. (#7 - 3/8") Even through the winter, they generally lay on top of the Blankets, but occasionally fluff/flip them up and make a depression. I just thought we were warm enough, until Navi (Chihuahua recue) showed up She is the coldest natured Dog I have ever seen ! She will put her nose under her blanket, flip it up, and dash under it before it falls. Then, make a couple circles under the blanket, winding up with just her little black Nose sticking out. Several times when I check on her, I've had to use a Flashlight around the perimeter of the Blanket to see if She was actually there.
