In winter, people habitually drag their cats' beds closer to the radiators. But only a few think about how useful this is for their pets.
It’s just that by default it’s generally accepted that cats love warmth, and that a dog will also enjoy lying under a hot radiator after a walk in the snow.
Experts have answered this question and most pet owners will likely be surprised.
The animals' bodies are not yet so spoiled by the benefits of civilization, and therefore successfully adapt to the cold season.
That is, in a cold room, the animal's body mobilizes its forces to conserve energy and heat. In the heat, everything is the opposite.
Is it worth helping?
There is an opinion that animals cope with cold better than with high temperatures.
Heat has a negative impact on metabolism, digestion, worsens appetite, and causes apathy.
And then there is dry air in the room, which is connected with heated radiators. Therefore, without a humidifier, it will be bad not only for flowers, but also for dogs and cats.
Because of this, animals' claws may begin to flake, their skin may peel, their mucous membranes may dry out, and their immunity may decrease.
A temperature of no higher than 25 degrees Celsius and air humidity of around 60% are considered comfortable for animals.
How to do it right
It will be enough to lay a rug on the floor where the dog or cat is used to sleeping. At the same time, do not forget to ventilate, but so as not to create drafts.
In addition, you need to change the water more often.
