Is Your Dog Cold? Signs to Watch For
Share
Dogs can’t speak, but they show clear signs when they’re feeling cold. Knowing the signs helps you protect them.
1. Shivering or Trembling
A clear signal your dog needs warmth.
2. Holding Up Paws
Cold ground can hurt paws, especially in winter.
3. Curling Up Tightly
Dogs curl tightly to stay warm.
4. Moving Slowly
Cold stiffens muscles and reduces energy.
5. Seeking Warm Places
Blankets, beds, or sitting close to you — a sign they need heat.
If you notice these, bring your dog inside, dry them off, and warm them up gently.
