Do not take your dog or your cat out into cold temperatures if they are not completely dry. If you bathe your dog or cat during the winter months, make sure to dry them thoroughly. After a bathe, we would recommend that you allow for at least half an hour to pass before you take them outside in cold temperatures. A wet coat on a dog or cat out in very cold temperatures is equivalent to a human walking out in subzero temperatures with wet clothes on. Also be very mindful that some dog breeds are better adapted to colder temperatures than others.
