Default Re: Moving a dog to a cold climate

Take it from ArcticKnight, you need to get your dog out walking in the cold. Don't let him get houseboound. The cold weather is just statrting, so the dog needs to get it's lungs adjusted to colder temps and have it's fur thicken as well. Long walks will help this. If you give in now it will be hopeless in the dead of winter.

We have a 5 pound dog that goes out a 40 below. She' only out for about 90 seconds, but she's out.

They poster who mentioned the things for paws is right, they can help, except if it's wet and cold, then they can be even worse, IMO.

I have few things to offer in these threads, but advise on living in a northern climate is one of them. Now if you live in certain parts of Alaska you "might" be north of me, otherwise MYOB.
