Room Temperature for Yorkies? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ZooKeep123 · 01-19-2008, 12:32 PM

We have a programmable thermostat & I'm wondering how low I can turn it down when we are gone during the day when we are sleeping at night. When we are home, we keep it at 74 & gone at 70 (right now).

Our little Charli is a year & a half old and weights 3 lbs. She has a sliding glass door in her room facing West that she lays in front during the afternoon & an enclosed bed she sleeps in at night.

Has anyone asked their vet or know how low of a room temperature Yorkies can be safe and comfortable?

Thanks

We keep our thermastat at 70 and mine are fine they have never shaken because they were cold. I always have hoodies on them in the winter also though that way they dont get too cold when they have to go outside to go potty

I keep it at 70 also. But, little Bailey always has a sock sweater or something else on, cuz she gets cold so easy.

I try to keep it at 72, but my house is drafty, so I end up putting them in jammies or hoodies if I notice they seem cold. I also just make sure to have lots of fleece blankies around that way they can burrow and snuggle if they get chilly

I think as long as you are comfortable, they are too.

I keep my temperature at 67* and Britney wears nighties most nights and some days.

We can't get her to wear clothes...she either bites at them or just sits there all depressed. She is a little turd like that. We do keep blankets for her to snuggle into.

We keep our thermostat between 66-68 degrees....My boys wear little shirts or sweaters and have no problems....And when they don;t they just curl up in a blanket if they get chilled.....We have no problems
