On a fine winter day, nothing can stop a dog owner from taking a walk with their four-legged friend.

However, not all pets benefit from long walks in the cold. Some dogs are very sensitive to low temperatures.

Experts have named dog breeds that are at risk of hypothermia or even frostbite during long winter walks.

First of all, all owners of short-haired dogs should be careful.

Secondly, we are talking about dogs with short legs.

Thirdly, miniature dog breeds such as Chihuahuas and others.

Due to their physical characteristics and fur, these animals are less able to tolerate low temperatures and have difficulty moving through the snow.

In addition to clothing, these dogs also need shoes.

But even in this case, it is necessary to remember that the weak thermoregulation of their body makes animals unwilling to take long walks in the cold.

It is equally important to monitor your pet's behavior when walking, and also take into account its age and health.
