Even though we had a heat wave last week, the weather is decidedly cooler today. Soon we'll be getting rain and fog and the temperature will fall. Other parts of the world will get snow.
This change in weather can affect our pets. Small dogs like mine get cold easily. Even though Winter for us is rarely below 40F in my area it can be windy and foggy. It's too cold for my dog when it's in the 50s.
I have a heat reflecting blanket for her so she can be warm at night. Also, I have a jacket that she wears for walks. She barely tolerates it, but at least it keeps her warm and dry.
Do you do anything to prepare your pet for Winter? Are there certain pets that need different cages, need to come in doors, or have to have special accommodations for Winter? Does anyone else have a dog like mine that can't tolerate cooler temps?
