Does a Yorkie get too hot in the summer? Is it ok if I leave my Zoe at home with no air conditioning on? I will keep a fan on for him when it gets really hot and of course lots of water. Is this enough? I'm also thinking of getting him a cooling pad. What do you think? What do you do? |
He should be fine with a fan and water. Most homes have cold and heat insulation.:animal36 |

Whats the temp in your home without the A/C on? I leave my house on 81 degrees and Chloe never gets hot. My Boxer on the other hand is always hot and I had to get her a fan to lay in front of. |
I think it might depend on your dog also. Rocco doesn't tolerate heat at all. If the house reaches 80 he is panting. I set my air to come on about 78 or 79 when I leave. If you use a crate you can purchase a fan to attach to the crate. Have you seen those? |
I try to keep the temperature for Toto the same as for us .... sometimes she gets cold. Maintaining about 70 is comfortable for us, although, I think sometimes Patrick would prefer the high 60's!! ;) |
I have dogs of all ages and I know the temps can be a worry. I leave a ceiling fan on, water, toys andput them on a floor that is not covered. Tile or wood or laminate stays cooler. They can always get onto their bed if the floor feels cool. They do really well with the proper prep. work... |
We try to not use the ac to much during the summer months. We just can't afford those $300.00 monthly payments. We have fans in every room, but when it gets to where we can't take it we do use the ac. We do spend a lot of time in the pool. What I do to keep Gus cool is either put him in the kitchen and wet him down from the neck down, spray him down with a water bottle throughout the day, or we will take him for a dip in the pool. |
we don't have a/c.:( i leave the fan on for romeo and lots of h2o. i know he's hot because he's panting. i have a cooleroo bed and that helps him too. |
I don't have an air conditioned house but I do have a room that is air conditioned and I will leave them in that room. Otherwise, I would leave fans, plenty of water and ice, and leave their crate pans for them to lie on to cool off. I also have a fan that will spray a mist of water at the same time and they seem to really enjoy that.:) |
Chance does not tolerate heat well. Remmy will lay in the sun when it is 90degrees out. Not Chance he lays on the air conditioning vent. He always finds shade. We keep the house around 75 degrees. When we go outside chance is always hot. Maybe I need to give him a summer cut. |
I was curious about this too. She gets hot at a track meet! She has been OK so far but I am home in the summer so if it's too hot for me I figure it's too hot for her and we turn on the air! |
My dogs must not like the heat because they are right back in the house when its hot. |
Dog days of summer... Quote:

Princess likes the heat, I can always find her in a sunny spot, when she is hot she heads for her pool. We always have fresh ice water out for her in the summer.:) :) :) |
