What should I do if my puppy gets cold? This article gives you the answer!

Dogs can catch colds all year round. Because dogs have poor physical constitution, they may catch colds if they catch a cold or if there are frequent changes in cold and heat. Therefore, when a dog catches a cold, appropriate care measures should be taken to help the dog return to normal as soon as possible. The following are some reference measures for caring for dogs, hoping to help dogs recover as soon as possible.

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 against cold and warm. You can place warm blankets or old clothes in the kennel and keep it dry to prevent the dog from being exposed to cold wind.

4. Give the dog plenty of 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 warm water, such as bone soup, chicken breast, beef and other foods, and ensure that the dog takes in enough energy and drinking water to increase the body's resistance.
