If it's around 30 degrees outside, should my dog wear a sweater when I walk her?

Question

She's a shepard mix.

Answer 1

No she'll be fine. Shepherds can tolerate cold weather.

Answer 2

I don't think that it is necessary, and most dogs don't like wearing clothes. If it is a Shepard mix then most likely it"s fur is thick enough to keep it warm. I wouldn't put anything on the dog. If it has long hair then it is meant for cold weather. Hopefully that helped.

Answer 3

That would be up to you. She probably has thick hair and if she's not outside alot you might consider putting a sweater on her. You don't half to buy 1 if she's big enough you can probably put a person's sweater or shirt on her. I know this sounds stupid but people do it all the time.

Answer 4

Not nescesarily. Dogs like shepherds have normaly long fur and were bred with lots of fur to be able to withstand colder temperatures. If it IS below freezing, you could try a sweater, but dont stay out in that kind of temperature with any dog, except an Alaskan Husky. :)

Answer 5

She doesn't need a sweater. Usually just short haired or small dogs need sweaters. You may want to protect her paws from the snow and ice. Examine your dog's paws before he comes back in the house, do so several times a day if your dog spends most of his day outdoors. To prevent trapped moisture from causing sores, remove any snow or ice packed between the toes of your dog's footpads and wipe his paws. Clip your dog's nails and trim the hair between her toes and on the bottom of her feet. Long nails interfere with your dog's traction on icy surfaces, and hair collects snow that turns to ice balls. Some dogs love their winter booties.

Answer 6

happy she have been given back! Love that she fell on your dramatic performing lol each and every frightening "run away" canine tale of mine replaced into actually, a 2 minute scare.. Mustard, and Dolce someway have been given out, and Sadie replaced into interior the front backyard barking out, and the element gate replaced into open.. I observed as out for the two one among them, and lengthy behold the dynamic duo got here working up from the darkness.. Sadie and Mustard at one time in the previous dolce replaced into interior the photograph, ran off throughout the time of Halloween nighttime years in the past, and weren't far, they have been around the wash, and contained locally next too ours. I observed as them somewhat frantic, and lower back, the dynamic duo, could desire to've had an incredible nighttime, and fortunately ran over to us, with tails waggin, and huge smiles on their faces.. If im interior the front backyard with my canine, they wouldnt go everywhere, regardless of if a canine bypass by potential of, or a squirrel darts up a tree.They understand extra suited.. yet whilst and whilst they do get out, and im no longer there? they could take benefit of their freedom, purely as maximum canine could lol

Answer 7

YOU MUST LIVE WHERE I LIVE. PROBABLY NOT WITH THAT BREED MIX-I PUT A SWEATER ON MY BEAGLE IN THIS TEMP BUT NOT MY LAB/SHEPHARD/CHOW MIX NOR MY OTHER LAB MIX DOG. JUST MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN AND DRY HER PAW PADS WHEN YOU GET HOME SO SHE DOESN'T GET FROST BITE AND IF YOU ARE WALKING HER IN THE SNOW, MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN HER PAW PADS (ESPECIALLY IN BETWEEN THE PADS) TO WASH OFF ANY ANTI FREEZE SHE MAY HAVE STEPPED IN ALONG THE WAY.

Answer 8

I would say yes, that's awful cold, even for a dog, to go out, without anything to keep her warm. I'm sure she would appreciate it too. Plus, I think it's so cute when dogs wear clothes.

Answer 9

she will be fine but if you feel the need to put a coat on her then go for it. Only the small hairless breeds really need to wear clothing which sadly is why there are more cute coats for those little breeds.

Answer 10

HOW CUTE i always put a sweater on my dog when we go for walks she has her own closet lol.

Answer 11

If you walk for longer than 1/2 hour then maybe. But otherwise I wouldn't.
