Winter is here and you're wondering if your pet needs extra protection?
Here are 5 telltale signs.
1. 🥶 He trembles or shivers
That's the most obvious sign!
If your dog is trembling during the walk (and it's not from excitement), it means he's cold.
His body tries to warm itself up by contracting his muscles.
What to do: Go home immediately and consider getting a coat for future outings.
2. 🐾 It slows down or refuses to move forward
Is your usually energetic dog dragging its feet or stopping frequently?
He is probably trying to limit his exposure to the cold.
What to do: Shorten the walk and protect him with a coat suitable for his breed.
3. 🦴 It curls up and tucks its tail in
A dog that is cold adopts a compact posture: tail between its legs, ears flattened, body hunched over. It is trying to conserve its body heat.
What to do: This is a clear signal that it needs warmth.
A well-insulated coat is essential.
4. 👃 He constantly seeks warmth
Does your dog cling to you, seek out the sun's rays, or refuse to leave its cozy bed?
He tells you he's cold!
What to do: Before going out, equip him with a coat so that he can enjoy his walk comfortably.
5. 🐕 It raises its legs alternately
If your dog is hopping or lifting its paws one by one, it means that the cold ground or snow is hurting it.
The pads are sensitive to low temperatures.
What to do: In addition to the coat, consider protective booties or a paw balm.
💡 Our advice
Every dog is unique!
Small breeds, short-haired dogs, puppies and senior dogs are more sensitive to the cold.
Don't wait until your companion suffers: anticipate with appropriate equipment.
