The best house temperature should remain above 180 degrees fahrenheit (21 degrees celsius) for most dogs. It is best to contact your veterinarian for recommendations. If you're not sure if your dog is susceptible to extreme heat, check the forecast before you place your dog in an area where there is a lot of precipitation. Check the weather channel for a temperature range that is between 7.7 and 9.6 degrees fahrenheit. You should never leave a dog unattended outdoors for prolonged periods of time, especially if the weather is going to be very hot or very cold. Humidity and wind chill can also endanger a pet. In the months leading up to christmas eve, keep the dog on a leash in places with cooler temperatures. Anything at that temperature could freeze and cause major harm to the dog if left outdoors.
