El cold affects us all, even to our pets, and that is why it is an evil that we must try to avoid. There are many ways to do it, and you also have to take special care in dogs with low defenses, older dogs and puppies, since a cold can become complicated and damage their health.
El cold affects the dog and it makes you sneeze, have more mucus, and also make you listless and tired. Just as it happens to us. In healthy dogs it is not a big problem, you just have to let him rest, bring him fluids and make him eat if he feels like it. In other cases it is always better to consult a veterinarian before the cold can get complicated.
The first thing we must do to avoid these colds is check the health of the animal. You have to do periodic check-ups at the vet to know that everything is going well and that his defenses are strong. A quality diet and physical exercise help a lot in this regard, so it is better to choose feed that is of quality when feeding them.
On the other hand, it is necessary to avoid that the dog gets wet or sleep with wet coat. Today there are raincoats of all sizes for rainy days. We must also dry them well when they get home to prevent them from catching a cold. The same happens with the cold, since if they are of races with a light coat they can get cold, and in that case we would have to opt for a coat.
In the case of puppies or older dogs it is always best to avoid getting wet or cold if possible, since a cold can affect them a lot. If we have a puppy, we must always take it out of the house when it is already dewormed and with all the vaccinations up to date.
