How cold is too cold for a pug?

With the temperatures dropping over the last few days, it’s a good idea to consider if it might be too cold for your pug to be outside. Winter and low temperatures can be a particularly testing time for pugs, so for some great advice on taking care of your pug during the winter months, just click here to visit our website - https://pugwelfare-rescue.org.uk/seasonal-hazards-for-pugs/

⛱🔥 As temperatures have been rising to above 30°C for the first time this year, we are expecting further very warm & hot conditions into the weekend with maximums over 30°C, before cooler and fresher air returns from the West for a break from it! 😊

So, here's our regular advice plus reminders for keeping our heat-sensitive pugs, cool, comfortable, and safe!

☀️ Make sure your pug has constant access to fresh water – day and night.
- fresh fruit, chilled or frozen, make ideal refreshing & healthy treats to help keep them hydrated.
☀️ Ensure your pug has constant access to shade and cool surfaces.
- remember to move sources of shade as the sun moves around gardens.
☀️ Provide cooling jackets and shallow paddling pools to enable your pug to cool down.
- as carpets do not help pugs cool down, provide cooling mats indoors and swap them regularly to ensure they are cool.
☀️ Don't only rely on fans to cool your pugs down as they are not as effective on our furry friends as they are on us.
☀️ Plan your walks, either early morning or late in the evening if the temperatures are cool enough & try to stick to shaded areas.
- if the mornings/evenings are still warm – DO NOT walk your pug!
- especially if they are overweight, have health issues, are elderly or very young.
☀️ Remember 'The Seven Second Test' for hard surfaces.
- tarmac/pavements even artificial grass can get very hot in the sun – hold your hand on it for 7 seconds & if it’s too hot for your hand DO NOT walk your pug as they could burn their paws. 🔥🐾

Please see our detailed Blog which includes more info about temperatures & risks to your pug/s, as well as identifying & managing heatstroke if you unfortunately ever need to in an emergency:

Hopefully though, with a few precautions, we will all be able to enjoy the sunshine & warmth when it's here! ⛱🔥😎🐾
