As a general rule of thumb, large dogs with thick, dense coats are well protected from the cold. This includes Northern breeds, like Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies, with fur coats genetically designed to keep them warm. But there are dogs that need to be protected from extreme weather.
Do Huskies need winter coat?
Husky puppies are not capable of withstanding cold temperatures. Extra care and protection must be provided to Husky puppies during winter until their coats develop enough to provide adequate protection.
How do I know if my dog needs a coat?
At what temperature does a dog need a coat? Small or thin-furred breeds, puppies, and senior dogs will need a coat when the temperature outside feels at or below 32°F. Once the temperature drops below 20°F, keep a close eye on your dog, regardless of breed, for signs that she is uncomfortably cold.
What temperature is too hot for Huskies?
Generally, however, anything above the mentioned 90 degrees F (32 degrees C) area is going to be a bit “too hot” for your husky to continue with regular outdoor playtimes. Once it starts creeping past 95 degrees F (35 degrees C), your husky will start to struggle in the sun, or if he's moving faster than a plod.
