What to Do If Your Dog's Paws Are Cold
Ancient Long-Haired Sheepdog (detailed introduction)
If it is not during the snowy winter, a dog's paws are generally quite warm. Therefore, when your dog's paws are very cold, you should pay attention. The first thing to consider is whether your dog is sick. We know the temperature of the soles of feet reflects a person's physical condition well, and it is the same for dogs. What to do if your dog's paws are cold? Let's first understand the possible causes of cold paws in dogs.
When you find your dog's paws are cold, you can first observe its diet and mental state. Generally, a chilled dog may have diarrhea. Of course, a dog that is unwell may also experience changes in body temperature. To take care of such a dog, first provide a dry and warm dog bed, and make sure to regularly clean and dry the bedding. In addition, if the dog also has a cold nose, sneezing, coughing, loss of appetite, and shows no improvement, it is necessary to take it to the hospital.
Cold paws in dogs can also be mainly caused by environmental factors in addition to illness. For example, in cold winters, floors are cold, and if the dog plays or walks on the floor constantly, cold paws are understandable. It is important not to leave pets in a cold supermarket environment for long periods, as this can easily lead to illness.
It is clear that cold paws in dogs are related both to environment and health. Therefore, if the dog's paws are still quite cold outside of cold weather, it is best to take them for a check-up to be safe.
