With the arrival of winter, cold winds and plummeting temperatures, as dog owners, we often worry whether our dogs will feel cold in this cold season.

However, do you know that a dog's ability to withstand the cold varies depending on its breed, size, coat characteristics, and living habits? Today, we will unveil the little secrets of the dog's warmth, to see whether they are afraid of the cold in the winter!

1. Dogs' ability to withstand the cold: varies by breed.
Different dogs have different cold tolerance due to genetics and evolution. Here are some typical examples:
 (1) Cold-tolerant dog breeds.
Dog breeds such as Huskies, Alaskan Sled Dogs and Samoyeds have a thick double layer of hair and fat layer, which can effectively withstand severe cold weather. The coats of these breeds not only keep them warm, but also allow them to move around in the snow; they are naturally adapted to cold environments.
 (2) Warm Breeds.
Small dogs such as Dachshunds, Pomeranians and Corgis usually have shorter, finer coats and are relatively less hardy. They are more likely to feel uncomfortable in cold weather and therefore require more attention and warmth measures from their owners.

2. Dog's Hair: A Natural Warming Material.
Dogs' hair plays an important role in keeping them warm. It is broadly categorised into the following types:
(1) Double Coat.
Many hardy dog breeds have a double coat, with a soft downy inner layer and a rough protective outer layer that forms a good insulating layer. This structure is effective in blocking wind chill and maintaining body temperature.
 (2) Single Layer Coat.
Some short-haired dogs or small dogs have relatively thin coats that lack good insulation. In cold winter months, dogs with a single layer of hair are more likely to feel cold and need extra warm clothing.

3. Tips for keeping dogs warm.
Even though dogs have the ability to adapt to the cold, proper warmth is essential. Here are some useful tips to keep your dog warm:
(1) Provide a warm habitat.
Ensure that your dog's den is kept dry and warm by choosing some mattresses or blankets with good thermal properties. If your dog is an outdoor dog, provide them with a wind and rain-proof kennel to avoid freezing in the cold.
 (2) Dress them in warm clothing.
For short-haired and small dogs consider dressing them in warm dog coats, choosing suitable materials such as woollen or windproof cloths to keep your dog warm even when they are outdoors in the cold.
(3) Avoid prolonged outdoor activities.
In extremely low temperatures, minimise the time your dog spends outdoors if it is not necessary. If it is necessary to go outside, it is recommended to choose sunny hours and warm up your dog immediately after returning home.

4. Winter Health Care Tips for Dogs.
Apart from keeping warm, there are other things that need to be taken care of for your dog's health in winter:
 (1) Regular Checkups.
As the climate is dry in winter, your dog's skin and paws may become dry or cracked. Regularly give your dog skin and coat care, and check their paw pads and trim their nails in time.
 (2) Maintain adequate water intake.
Despite the low humidity in winter, dogs still need to maintain an adequate water intake. Make sure they have fresh water in their drinkers to avoid health problems caused by insufficient water intake.
(3) Watch your diet.
With increased energy expenditure in winter, it is important to provide appropriate nutrient-rich food to help your dog improve its resistance and stay healthy.

Overall, whether dogs are afraid of cold in winter mainly depends on their breeds, coat types and living environment. As owners, we have to provide appropriate warming measures according to the characteristics and actual situation of our dogs, so that they can spend a warm and comfortable winter.
