With the steep drop in temperature (Guangdong is not included here), it’s that time of year when your parents, grandparents, and grandparents feel you are cold...
However, the editor found that this time netizens took the initiative to dig out the long johns from the bottom of the box and put them on. After all, middle-aged people have no choice~
Furthermore, the editor also found that these netizens not only began to take the initiative to accept long johns, but also cared about their furry children, unknowingly embarking on the path of their elders:
Is my dog cold today?
Do you need to wear clothes?
So there are these dogs below...
Regardless of whether it’s cold or not, you have to wear long johns in winter!
Oh! This suffocating love!
This looks like Nagada in the Northeast!
But have you ever thought about the impact of such coldness on dogs? Or do dogs really need clothes?
Today, the editor will give you some popular science for all the shit-shoveling officers!
1. Big dogs do not need to wear clothes
The animal's ability to withstand cold is mainly determined by its body size, metabolism, and the thickness of its fur and subcutaneous fat. The larger the dog, the stronger its cold resistance.
Dogs with long hair and large sizes, such as golden retrievers and border collies, have strong body temperature regulation capabilities and are not easily frozen, so they do not need to wear clothes.
Moreover, when long-haired dogs wear clothes, their hair is easily tangled, which affects growth and increases the chance of skin diseases.
Three sled dogs (Huskies, Alaskans, and Samoyeds) don’t need to wear them. Their ancestors come from extremely cold areas, and their thick coat makes them naturally equipped with cold resistance buffs!
So for large dogs, wearing clothes is a bit unnecessary.
2. Puppies can wear
The body temperature regulation ability of small dogs is much worse than that of large and medium-sized dogs, so when the temperature is very low, the dog owner can put cute little clothes on the little ones at home.
Especially for small dogs with short hair like Chihuahuas, it is very necessary to wear clothes in winter.
However, small dogs with longer hair, such as Teddy and Pomeranian, do not need to wear clothes when not going out. Over-protection will reduce the dog's resistance.
However, if the heating at home is insufficient and the dog is weak, it is still recommended to wear clothes to keep warm.
3. Tips for dressing dogs
1. Suitable clothing is the most important
Although dogs are very cute and cute when wearing clothes, they should also be warm and comfortable. Suitability is the main thing, and you must not go too far for the concave shape, for example, as follows:
Slave, please say hello to the little master~
The editor feels tired for the dog just looking at it! Moreover, the dog is not comfortable when wearing it, and it is easy to rub the skin in some places.
2. Change and wash frequently
Dog's clothes must be changed and washed frequently to avoid breeding bacteria and causing skin diseases. However, don’t dress your dog immediately after bathing. After the dog has just taken a bath, its coat must be dried before putting on clothes, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold.
3. Material is very important
When purchasing dog clothes, you must pay attention to the material. Low-quality fabrics can cause harm to dogs. The safest and most cost-effective way is to turn old clothes into treasures at home and make them into dog clothes!
In fact, there are many ways to care for dogs. We should not do things that are taken for granted in the name of love. We should think more from the perspective of our pets: Does it need us to do this? Is this really good for it? Therefore, the editor recommends that all pet owners should raise their pets scientifically and avoid falling into some misunderstandings. This is not only good for the dog, but also reduces unnecessary trouble and losses.
Finally, regardless of whether you put clothes on your dog or not, in this cold winter, all dog owners must take measures to keep their dogs warm. This way the dog will be less likely to get sick and will be healthier!
