Do pets get cold easily even though they have fur to protect them?

Yes or No? Do pets get cold easily even though they have fur to protect them?
Yes, absolutely! Our furry pets get cold the same way we feel cold. If you live in the northern climates where winters are frigid, pets that are left outside too long are likely to suffer from hypothermia and frostbite. What’s “too long”? That all depends on how cold it is outside your home. The general belief is, when temperatures drop under 20 degrees Fahrenheit (or -7 degrees Celsius), pets could develop cold-associated health problems like frostbite or even pneumonia. Although it’s safe to go on a quick walk for a potty break and some fresh air, remember to not leave your pets unattended while outdoors this winter. Better yet, wait for the winter frost to pass until the weather feels more tolerable and safer to enjoy the outdoors.
