I am concern when taking Puddles out to potty in the cold. It's going to be 19 degrees tonight with wind chill @ 10 or less and I'm not sure he should go out side. Since its gotten cold, I would bring him in the house as soon as finished.
Today, he would stand, look out the window and bark (not the potty bark). We put on his heavy sweater and a coat over that and headed out side. I found a nice spot where the wind could not hit us and he played for about 30 mins. I felt bad when we came in, his feet were cold.
What is a safe temp that Maltese can handle in the winter outside? I don't mean for a long period at a time, like when going to potty. Will I be safe to stay out a few mins after he's done his business and let him sniff around?
