​​​The temperature changes greatly in winter, so pets need to be protected against colds. There are two causes of colds in golden retrievers. One is viral cold caused by viruses; the other is general cold caused by sudden changes in temperature and lack of insulation measures. Puppies, malnourished golden retrievers and dogs with poor immunity are particularly susceptible to colds. Therefore, the main thing to prevent and treat colds is to strengthen the physical fitness of domestic dogs. In addition to feeding your golden retrievers well and choosing a nutritionally balanced dog food, you must also ensure that your golden retrievers get enough exercise to enhance their physical fitness. When the climate changes, you should pay attention to keeping warm to prevent your golden retriever from catching cold and rain. The kennel must be placed in a warmer place at home and away from ventilation.

In winter, golden retriever dogs will suffer from diarrhea, vomiting, and indigestion. Golden retrievers are afraid of heat and have anorexia in summer. Their appetite becomes particularly good in winter. At this time, owners must control their food intake to prevent golden retrievers from indigestion due to overeating. Laying clean blankets or thick towels in the kennel will help the golden retriever keep warm and prevent the golden retriever from suffering from gastrointestinal discomfort due to cold. You can always keep probiotics at home to help your golden retriever’s digestion, balance the intestinal flora, and protect your golden retriever’s stomach.

Pay attention to the golden retriever’s feet. In winter, the paws and pads of golden retriever dogs are also relatively fragile and prone to dryness, cracking and peeling. When parents take their golden retriever dogs out for activities, they should pay attention to protecting their golden retriever dogs’ paws. After returning home, wipe the golden retriever's paws with a hot towel, massage them for a few minutes, and check whether there are any foreign objects on the golden retriever's paws.
