…That’s the general rule for bringing dogs into the house. I have big, furry dogs, so I don’t bring them in at night unless it gets below 40 degrees F. They have built in fur coats, a comfy bed, and can snuggle with each other. Some dogs get cold much easier than that, though, depending on their size, their coat, and where their breed originates from (huskies will do much better in the cold than chihuahuas!). To tell if your dog is too cold, check out this article by Lady Bug at Pets Lady:
-If it is too cold for you to be comfortable outside for a few minutes, it’s too cold for your dogs
-Shivering, trembling, curling into a ball, or holding tail close to his body
-Cold ears or body- feeling the tips of your dog’s ears is a good way to check his temperature
-To keep them warm: protect their paws from the cold, bring them inside at night to sleep, or get them a good, warm dog house if they are outside dogs. Bring them to the vet if they begin exhibiting odd behavior!
