This one, I did not know! Does this apply the same for adult dogs, I mean if it's 40 degrees isn't that cold for them and we should put on a sweater/jacket?
Thanks for all the cool info! |
No Problem!!
As for your question...I thought the same way. He told me that Dogs skin/coat needs to adjust to cold weather and if we keep "babying" them with jackets or blankets their ability to resist the cold will never be to its full potential therefore making it easier for them to chill and get sick (weaker immune system). I believe the same applies to adult dogs. This is my impression of the theory when he explained it to me and it makes sense. I would see how badly my dog is shivering and decide from there what is too cold for him.
