If You Have a Higher Risk Dog<\/h4>\n<p>A pet\u2019s cold tolerance varies based on their coat, body fat, breed, age, activity level, and overall health. Some dogs are more susceptible to experiencing cold weather dangers like hypothermia or frostbite. These higher risk dogs include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Small dogs<\/li>\n<li>Dogs with fine or thin hair<\/li>\n<li>Short-legged dogs<\/li>\n<li>Dogs with weak immune systems or chronic conditions<\/li>\n<li>Puppies<\/li>\n<li>Senior dogs<\/li>\n<li>Dogs with arthritis<\/li>\n<li>Dogs who are new to Minnesota and are not used to cold weather<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5678 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aercmn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/5.png\" alt=\"lifting paws, snow, cold dog, shivering dog, dogs, winter weather, winter clothing for dogs, dog clothing, dog winter clothing, dog winter boots, dog winter coats, clothing guide for dogs, Minnesota winter, winter dogs, Animal Emergency &amp; Referral Center of Minnesota, Twin Cities emergency vet, Minnesota emergency vet, frostbite, hypothermia, cold weather safety for dogs, pet safety, pet health\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aercmn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/5.png 800w, https:\/\/www.aercmn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/5-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>2. The Signs of Cold Intolerance<\/h4>\n<p>As temperatures drop and you spend time outside with your pet, it\u2019s important to monitor them carefully and watch for signs of cold intolerance, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shivering<\/li>\n<li>Tucked tail<\/li>\n<li>Whining\/anxious behavior<\/li>\n<li>Reluctant to move<\/li>\n<li>Lifting paws<\/li>\n<li>Snow or ice buildup in paws<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5679 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aercmn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6.png\" alt=\"dog, running, snow, winter jacket, dogs, winter weather, winter clothing for dogs, dog clothing, dog winter clothing, dog winter boots, dog winter coats, clothing guide for dogs, Minnesota winter, winter dogs, Animal Emergency &amp; Referral Center of Minnesota, Twin Cities emergency vet, Minnesota emergency vet, frostbite, hypothermia, cold weather safety for dogs, pet safety, pet health\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aercmn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6.png 800w, https:\/\/www.aercmn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>3. How to Dress Your Dog for Cold Weather<\/h4>\n<p>In Minnesota, \u201ccold\u201d can vary from person to person and the same goes for our dogs. You know your dog\u2019s tolerance best so always use your personal judgment when preparing your dog to go outside. Here are a few general clothing &amp; winter gear recommendations for dogs based on a range of different temperatures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Above 45\u00b0F: <\/strong>Most pets will be comfortable without any clothing or protective gear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>32-45\u00b0F: <\/strong>If you have a higher risk dog with a low cold tolerance, you may want to opt for a sweater.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>15-32\u00b0F: <\/strong>This is when things get a bit more complicated &amp; clothing will vary based on a few different scenarios:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Quick potty break right outside the door?<\/strong> A higher risk dog should wear a coat. Other dogs should be fine nakey for just a minute.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Short walk?<\/strong> Put a coat on, especially if your dog is higher risk. If your pet will be walking near ice melt or icy areas, if your dog\u2019s paws get easily irritated, or if your dog has hairy paws that easily collect snow \u2013 add boots!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Highly active for a longer period of time?<\/strong> If your dog is not at higher risk, they should be okay in just boots, depending on the activity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low activity for a longer period of time?<\/strong> We recommend an insulated coat and boots. Bring a blanket if your dog will be stationary. If your pet is at higher risk, we advise keeping them at home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ice fishing?<\/strong> If you have a heated shelter on the ice, your dog should be okay without extra clothing or gear. We do recommend bringing along a cozy, warm blanket or dog bed for them to lie on though. If your shelter is not heated, leave your dog at home!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Below 15\u00b0F: <\/strong>Just stay home! Only let your dogs out for a quick potty break. Be sure to clear a small area near the door to let them quickly in and out. If you live in an apartment or do not have easy in-and-out access, bundle up your pet in a coat and boots. Try to be as quick as possible!<\/li>\n<li><strong>The exception to all of this? <\/strong>Northern breeds. Huskies, Malamutes, Samoyeds, Akitas, etc., can typically handle subzero temperatures without any additional clothing or protective gear. You may want to consider boots for activities like mushing, but it\u2019s not always necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5674 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aercmn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1.png\" alt=\"snow, dog jacket, dog boots, dogs, winter weather, winter clothing for dogs, dog clothing, dog winter clothing, dog winter boots, dog winter coats, clothing guide for dogs, Minnesota winter, winter dogs, Animal Emergency &amp; Referral Center of Minnesota, Twin Cities emergency vet, Minnesota emergency vet, frostbite, hypothermia, cold weather safety for dogs, pet safety, pet health\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aercmn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1.png 800w, https:\/\/www.aercmn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With all that being said, here are some winter gear suggestions.
