Leonbergers are known to be comfortable in moderate temperatures and may struggle in extreme heat or cold. Their thick double coat provides insulation and protection, but it also means they can be sensitive to temperature extremes.

In hot weather, Leonbergers can be susceptible to heat-related issues such as heat exhaustion or heatstroke. Their heavy coats can make it challenging for them to regulate their body temperature effectively. Therefore, it is crucial to take precautions and provide them with proper care during hot weather conditions.

When temperatures rise, it's important to ensure that your Leonberger has access to shade and fresh water at all times. You can also help them stay cool by providing a cool, shaded area to rest, using fans or air conditioning indoors, and avoiding strenuous exercise during the hottest parts of the day.

It's essential to be aware of signs of overheating, such as excessive panting, drooling, or lethargy, and take immediate action if your Leonberger shows any of these signs. Cooling them down with water or seeking veterinary attention may be necessary in severe cases.
