Have you ever wondered if your home was the right temperature for your dog? In most cases, a comfortable house temperature for you will be a comfortable temperature for your dog. However, if your dog is sick and running a fever then he may be cold when you aren’t. Always contact your vet if your dog has a fever. Once at home and under vet care, you may need to wrap your dog in extra blankets to keep him warm. Older dogs may also need the house a little warmer than other dogs. You can tell by watching your older dog’s actions. If he shivers then provide him a blanket or warm the house up a bit. Likewise, in the summer, if your dog is panting a lot he could be warm. Make sure your dog has plenty of water, has a cool place to rest, and notify your vet Aurora, CO if your dog appears to be overheated.
