Today we are talking about pets and the cold and winter has arrived prematurely and you should pay attention to your pet since animals are also sensitive to low temperatures

It is true that the cold does not affect all animals equally , but they all suffer when temperatures approach zero degrees.

Dogs are covered by a layer of fat on their skin that protects De Cell Number them and are covered by dense fur that helps them with rain, snow and cold . But not all races have the same protection. Thus, there are dogs that suffer more than others from low temperatures.

Breeds such as the Husky, Saint Bernard or Pyrenean Shepherd are almost immune to the cold since they have a very dense coat and a greater layer of fat; But others like the Beagle, Dobermann or Basset Hound have thinner layers of fat and short hair and, therefore, suffer more in the winter.

As for cats, they are very sensitive to changes in temperature (especially if they live indoors). As in the case of dogs, breeds such as the Ukrainian Levokoy, Sphinx or Siamese, which have almost no hair, suffer more from low temperatures and will require more attention.

It should also be taken into account that puppies, elderly animals and those who are sick have fewer defenses and suffer more.



Care for pets and the cold
The main symptoms that we should take into account in our pets when it is very cold are the following:

We will have to give them a good diet so that they have all the necessary vitamins and nutrients .
