Prolonged exposure to excessively cool indoor environments may induce adverse health effects in canines. These effects can range from mild discomfort to more pronounced physiological responses. The primary concern involves the body’s thermoregulatory mechanisms being overwhelmed by a significant temperature difference between the external and internal environments, potentially leading to illness.
Maintaining a suitable ambient temperature is essential for canine well-being. Historically, dogs have adapted to a wide range of climates, but sudden or extreme temperature changes can challenge their ability to adjust. Ensuring appropriate environmental control benefits overall health and reduces the likelihood of temperature-related ailments.
