Labrador retrievers have a short, dense, waterproof coat with an undercoat that makes them well adapted to being outside in cold weather. Dogs, like humans, can develop frostbite and hypothermia if left outside too long, though. Early warning signs include shivering, standing with one paw raised, lethargy, weakness, muscle stiffness, and difficulty breathing.
The SPCA warns dog owners to provide adequate shelter for outdoor pets. This includes a draft-free, waterproof doghouse with a floor raised several inches off the ground, as well as plenty of straw and blankets for warmth. You can buy a heated doghouse or floor mat for additional comfort.
The truth is, most dogs do better living indoors. Labs are friendly, sociable family dogs that prefer spending time with their human companions. Imagine how cold and lonely you would feel if you had to stay outside all winter!
