In winter, many hairless dogs experience discomfort not only during walks outside but also at home. How to ensure comfort for pets in freezing temperatures is shared by dog trainer Vladimir Golubev.
Not all hairless dogs refuse to go outside in winter — the most active among them happily walk in any weather. However, winter is not an optimal time for long walks, so it is better not to stray far from home and return immediately after the pet has done its business.
Additionally, in cold weather, such dogs need special clothing and footwear that will not only keep them warm but also protect them from the wind and moisture. Special footwear will also help protect their paws from aggressive anti-icing agents.
It is important to closely monitor the condition of the pet: if the dog is shivering and tucking in its paws, this may be the first sign of hypothermia. In mild hypothermia, the animal may exhibit pale mucous membranes. If such symptoms appear, it is necessary to return to warmth immediately.
Skin Care
During the winter, the skin of hairless dogs can become dry, flaky, and cracked. This can be caused not only by frost but also by dry air in the apartment due to heating devices. To protect the pet's skin from such problems, it is recommended to clean more often, humidify the air, and ventilate the rooms. It is also advisable to choose special products for the care of the animal's skin.
