The temperature changes affect our dogs a lot. So it is also associated with the change of seasons, but everything is linked. Undoubtedly, their habits and behavior will be altered due to this process. Surely you have already noticed, if your pet has been with you for several years.
Therefore, it is convenient to know precisely what changes our pets are going to experience. Surely that way we will understand them a little more. It's a way of get closer to them or them and know that this season they will also feel in a totally different way. Let's find out!
Metabolism and diet
El change in metabolism it is one of the most notable for our pets. Although it is also sometimes for ourselves. Since it is true that during certain times such as winter, the metabolism will increase. How does this translate? Well, their desire to eat also increases. This makes the pet try to be always warmer and for this, it needs to expend more energy than usual. Although it is true that some breeds of dogs tend to endure or better withstand these climatic conditions. What you can do when the cold takes hold of them is to slightly increase the meals or to distribute them in more times but without increasing the quantity precisely. Otherwise, we run the risk of fattening, and quite a lot.
Pain in your joints
Surely you have heard it from older people, who commented something similar. Whenever the weather was going to change, they noticed how their body ached more. Well, in dogs this pain in the joints is also associated with changes in temperature. Especially when we go to a warmer but where humidity increases. So this will be the cause of part of their misfortunes.
Changes in your behavior
If we talk about temperature changes, we will continue to maintain those changes but now in the behavior. The passing of the seasons, now colder now warmer, is something that does not go unnoticed. If it does not do it for us, for our pets much less. Therefore, we also had to mention it. The truth is that here there can be two cases and both will be extreme, that is, or we will see them very dull and apathetic with an overflowing energy. But be that as it may, this change will be quite remarkable.
Otitis
It is also common for otitis to appear in our pets. Since it is an inflammation of the ear, it starts from a favorable environment where micro-organisms can develop at will. Hence, temperature changes can also be quite to blame for this. Allergies or mites are also more prone in some seasons than others and both are two of the causes of otitis. But it is true that there can be many others, without having to cling only to those mentioned.
Changes in body temperature that can affect your organs
We are not going to take the worst, but we do need to mention it. Because it is true that these temperature changes can also affect your organs. In some more extreme cases, it can cause them to not work the right way. As your immune system may be weakened and with it, other problems continue to occur, among which will also be less important such as colds. But as we have mentioned, we do not have to think or go to these extremes. The best thing is that when we notice that something is not right, we call the vet and he will know well what guidelines to recommend.
