The dog (Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated descendant of the gray wolf. Also called the domestic dog, it was selectively bred from an extinct population of wolves during the Late Pleistocene by hunter-gatherers. The dog was the first species to be domesticated by humans, over 14,000 years ago and before the development of agriculture. Due to their long association with humans, dogs have gained the ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canids.
When you're walking your dog in bad weather, you want to make sure you provide as much protection as you can for your dog. You should make sure your dog is equipped for the weather, including making your dog more visible in low-visibility conditions. You should also check that your pathways are safe for your dog, as well as get your entryway ready for when you return to your house with a wet dog.
Always check the weather before you step outside for a walk. Most dogs will be able to walk in the cold if the temperature doesn’t fall below 32°F, but dogs that have shorter or thinner coats, like Chihuahuas and Greyhounds, will be more sensitive to the cold. Most dogs can walk for about 30 minutes in temperatures above 20°F. However, their ability to walk will also depend on windchill.
