flag UK warns dog owners to limit walks at or below 0°C, especially for vulnerable dogs, to prevent cold injuries.

flag UK dog owners are urged to limit or avoid walks when temperatures drop to 0°C or below, especially for small, young, elderly, or thin-coated dogs, due to risks of hypothermia, frostbite, and other cold-related injuries. flag Experts recommend walking only between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. when temperatures are warmer, and avoiding outdoor activity entirely at -4°C or lower. flag Signs of cold distress include shivering, drowsiness, confusion, loss of coordination, pale gums, or collapse—requiring immediate veterinary care. flag Owners should use dog coats, boots, and heated bedding, keep indoor temperatures between 10°C and 25°C, and dry dogs thoroughly after walks. flag Rapid warming is discouraged; gradual rewarming is advised.
