Hector (formally Chilli) now has his belly bands. I got them as he seems to leak a bit throughout the day so it’s just to stop him from getting my lounge and bed dirty - though he’s doing so well at not toileting inside now!
At first he started not weeing or pooing in my flat, but out on the deck instead. Then he stopped weeing overnight and was only pooing on the deck. Last night was his first night of doing neither! He held on for both until we came out out to walk this morning.
Now I have a question. I know socks and shoes for dogs are not recommended in hot weather as they use their paws to cool down. What about for cold though? The temperatures here are dropping as low as 4°C overnight at the moment, with highs around 20°C during the day. It’s currently approx 8:15am and the temp is 12.8°C while we’re walking.
He seems to really not like when the grass is wet from the frost overnight, and when it’s really cold. He has a jumper and a puffer jacket, but I’m wondering if little shoes might be worthwhile for the nights and mornings where it’s frosty and wet and cold.
I’m curious is anyone here as tried them with their Chi’s and what their experiences were like?
