训犬中心：狗狗冬天怕冷该出去遛吗？你是否应该减少遛狗时间甚至不带它出门？

户外活动是维持健康的必需课，但面对湿冷空气的攻击，主人难免担忧毛孩子会被冻到。那么，这个问题就来了：担心狗狗畏冷，我该减少遛狗时长甚至不带它出门吗？

dog dog winter afraid cold go out for a walk or not? Should you reduce the walking time or even not take it out?

The fur of dogs is their "true coat," and some even have an extra layer of thick padding, such as the famous sled dogs. They have a thick undercoat and a dense, warm underlayer that helps to withstand common low temperatures.

Apart from the thickness of their fur, dark-coated dogs are more resistant to cold than light-coated ones, and larger breeds are more tolerant of cold weather than smaller ones. Younger dogs tend to be more resilient in cold temperatures than older dogs or puppies.

Therefore, for these factors concerning your dog's tolerance of cold weather, only wanting to reduce walking time without any desire for your dog to enjoy outdoor activities doesn't seem appropriate.

Next, exercising with your dog outside can generate heat which can help combat low temperatures. Taking your dog out for a walk is one of the simplest forms of exercise.

Just like humans who need regular physical activity to stay healthy, if they engage in sufficient physical activity outdoors during colder months when they will produce enough body heat through movement.

However don't let down your guard just yet. The question remains: whether or not a dog fears the cold also depends on various other factors related to its living conditions after all.

Instead of judging by how you feel about it yourself consider looking at these signs:

If during harsh winters you take them out but suddenly shiver excessively.

If they constantly whine while going for walks.

If they show sudden anxiety signs extending one paw or multiple paws.

If they become sluggish and their paw pads turn icy-cold

If any symptoms above occur then it means there's indeed fear present - stop further "patrolling" right away!

Remember this six-word truth: frequent frequency + consistent cleaning = happiness! Adjusting routes into shorter distances over short periods at higher frequencies could replace long-distance trips before - no lessening exercise intensity but better adaptation against harsh weather conditions!

Always keep bodies dry when returning indoors lest risk infection due either way; snow brings calcium chloride salts which stick between toes causing vomiting & diarrhea upon licking afterwards so clean those paws off first after each snowy adventure! So go ahead if no fear shows up - put clothes on them tie leashes around wrists bring furry kids playfully frolic in snows now!
