Small breeds tend to have a little bit of a harder time sometimes, retaining heat, and you have to put a sweater on them to keep them warm, and nice warm soft blanket helps too! I have Chihuahuas, and sometimes, I have to put a little sweater on them when they are inside and the air conditioning is on 79 degrees! Just remember, if it's too cold for you, it's definitely too cold for them!

Why does my dog shake?

While it is very common to see it in toy breeds, it is not normal. Cold temperature can make many dogs shiver, however most toy breeds that shiver on a regular basis are not cold but suffer from hypertension. It is a combination of nervousness and a lack of exercise. All to often these small dogs are treated more like a dress-up doll or fashion accessory, always carried and very rarely walked. To let them experience their environment on their own 4 feet builds confidence and is self assuring to a dog. All dogs need regular exercise; long walks and/or vigorous play sessions, even those tiny ones. Try it for yourself - take your dog for a brisk 30-45 minute walk. You might be surprised to see your dog rest calmly afterwards.
