Heat Stoke and Frost Bite/Hypothermia

Heat Stoke and Frost Bite/Hypothermia can be deadly in dogs.   A dogs average temp is 101.5-102.5. You are at danger any time their body tempeture rises or falls outside of this range. If your pet is a puppy or geriatric dog, don’t leave him outside without supervision, especially in snow. Dog feet can get very cold very quickly, especially on thin-coated dogs, and you may have to rescue a shivering pet who cannot walk across the snow.
