Tips to prevent hypothermia in dogs

Hypothermia can set in faster than many people think – especially in wet and windy weather. Dogs can't speak, but their bodies send clear signals when they get cold.

Signs of incipient hypothermia

• Tremble
• Cold ears or paws
• Sustained stomach, hunched posture
• Dog seeks proximity to heat source
• Stiff movements
• Fatigue or slowed reactions

If the hypothermia becomes more severe, the circulatory system can be at risk – quick action is important here.

How to protect your dog from hypothermia

• Dry coat thoroughly after rain or snow.
• Possibly warm dog coats for short-haired breeds
• No long breaks outdoors in cold weather
• Provide warm places at night (blanket, basket, no cold floor)
• Protect your paws – they lose heat quickly.
• Adjust your walks (more frequent short walks are preferable to infrequent long walks)

Strengthening the immune system

A strong immune system not only protects against pathogens, but also helps to better cope with temperature fluctuations.
Herbs such as rosehip, echinacea, ginger and black cumin provide natural support.
