Can a Newfoundland live comfortably in California's hot climate?

Hi Jarrod. A St Bernard is my dream dog! It does get very hot and humid down south in the summer. You can get one of these dogs, but in the summer, they need to kept indoors in the a/c during the day and night, and taken out for short periods of time just to potty when very hot. This is not a dog that should be kept outdoors a lot of the time in the summer.

Hello. Under the right circumstances, a Husky can live anywhere. If your home is air-conditioned or shaded with lots of nice breezes, this would be perfect. But as long as you keep the dog very well brushed out to remove all of the undercoat & he/she has a place to get out of the sun, you will be fine. I do not recommend shaving the coat because the topcoat can actually act as a hat & protect the skin from the sun. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

IT is true, they can adapt but they are generally quite miserable most of the summer, you will need to make sure they are with air condition most of the days and you will only be able to take him out early morning and evenings.

You will need to make sure Shiro is kept indoors during the day in the air conditioning or with a fan. Do not let him stay outside. Make sure he always has cool water to drink. Walk him early in the morning and later in the evening when it's cooler. I hope this helps!

Hello, yes they may as long as he has the adequate training. However, his long coat and big frame may limit him to short hunting ranges and likely in cooler temperatures and climates. You can contact a local trainer or someone who specialized in training hunting dogs for advise on training Woof. Best of luck.

Dogs can adapt to running in hotter weather, however going out at times where it is cooler, packing enough water for your dog to take breaks and drink on the way, and using items such as dog booties to protect feet from hot surfaces can all help ensure the run goes smoothly for you and your companion. If it is unbearably hot it is best to leave Fido at home where he can rest in some shade instead. Dogs are just like people, so you'll want to work up to a longer exercise routine over time, rather than starting out on a big long hike or jog at once that is likely to exhaust and overheat your dog. Dogs can sweat through the pads of their feet and also release heat through panting, so ensuring they're given enough water, and even something such as a misting spray and shaded areas for breaks to take a moment to cool off can help.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Great question, this is very very important in Frenchies! 1. Air conditioning and staying inside on hot days 2. Very short periods of exercise and chasing balls to prevent excessive panting and swelling 3. A spray bottle with cool water/hose or sprinkler /kiddie pool for Frank to go in when he is hot. 4. Fans at Frank's level so he can cool himself 5. Lots of areas of shade outside 6. As soon as Frank looks tired (ideally before he looks tired) stop playing or running 7. Ice-cube treats (frozen chicken broath) Best of luck with Frank!
