When the puppy gets cold, the owner needs to take timely measures to keep the dog warm, such as dressing the dog, turning on the air conditioner and heating, preparing a warm kennel, giving the dog plenty of food and water, etc. Under normal circumstances, dogs can recover quickly after being exposed to heat sources, but most dogs will also develop a series of complications such as colds. Owners should continue to observe the dog's condition. If the dog is found to have a cough, runny nose, sneezing, or fever , loss of appetite, lethargy and other symptoms, take them to the pet hospital for treatment in time.
1. Wear clothes for the dog
If the dog’s hair is short and not very warm, the owner can wear pet clothes for the dog to keep warm. But don’t wear clothes for too long to avoid skin diseases caused by stuffy hair.
2. Turn on the air conditioner and heating
If the conditions at home are good, you can turn on the air conditioner or heating to maintain the room temperature at around 26 degrees Celsius. This is also the safest way to keep warm. When the dog is warm, you can turn off the air conditioner and heating, because if the dog stays in a closed room for a long time and the air is not circulated, the dog's respiratory system will cause problems. Moreover, if you stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time, the air is also very dry, and your dog's skin will easily crack.
3. Prepare a warm kennel
In order to prevent the dog from getting cold again, the dog’s kennel should also be well protected from cold and warm. You can place materials in the kennel to keep it warm. Use blankets or old clothes and keep them dry to prevent the dog from being exposed to cold wind.
4. Give the dog sufficient food and water
In order for the dog to have more calories to resist the cold, the owner needs to provide the dog with sufficient food and warmth. Hot water, such as bone broth, chicken breast, beef and other foods, and ensure that the dog takes in enough energy and drinking water to increase the body's resistance.
