Siberian Huskies<\/a> and Chow Chows, are able to withstand lower temperatures than smaller dogs like Pomeranians and Daschunds.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn both cases, experts advise people to monitor their dogs for any symptoms of hypothermia<\/strong>. If their body temperature gets too low, warm them up and rehydrate as fast as possible. Let\u2019s discuss what signs your dog might give you if it\u2019s getting too chilly.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDespite the differences in internal body temperatures, most dogs share and exhibit similar symptoms when suffering from hypothermia or are simply too cold. There are obvious ones, like shaking, that can be seen easily, but there are also some that take a trained eye to spot. We\u2019ll go over both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obvious Symptoms of Hypothermia in Dogs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nDogs are similar to us in more ways than we realize. When people are cold, they get uncomfortable and will most likely complain about it. Your dog is no different. Usually, when your dog starts getting too cold, he will tell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though dogs can\u2019t actually speak to you and tell you what is wrong, they can express signs of discomfort in the forms of<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nWhining (one of the most noticeable signs)<\/li>\n\n\n\n Searching for warm places to burrow<\/li>\n\n\n\n Shivering<\/li>\n\n\n\n Lethargy<\/li>\n\n\n\n Stumbling and Disorientation<\/li>\n\n\n\n Loss of consciousness (get them out of the cold immediately)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nIf you start seeing these signs, bring your dog indoors to increase their temperature and get fluids into his system. If your dog is stumbling, disoriented, or even seems to be on the verge of passing out then you need to contact a vet immediately for further instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Less Obvious Symptoms of Dog Hypothermia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlthough those are the most obvious symptoms, not every dog will show all symptoms (excusing the very severe ones, such as loss of consciousness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of this, it\u2019s also useful to know the more subtle symptoms that your pup might be much too cold and needs medical attention, such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
