Lhasa Apsos have a moderate tolerance to temperature and are generally comfortable in climates ranging from 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). This means they can adapt well to mild and moderate weather conditions. However, it's important to note that Lhasa Apsos are less tolerant of extreme heat or cold compared to some other breeds.
In hot weather, Lhasa Apsos are susceptible to heat exhaustion and heatstroke due to their long, dense coat and limited ability to regulate body temperature. It is crucial to provide them with proper shade, ample fresh water, and a cool environment during hot days.
Avoid exercising them during the hottest times of the day and be vigilant for signs of overheating, such as excessive panting, drooling, or lethargy. If your Lhasa Apso shows signs of distress in the heat, it's important to seek veterinary attention immediately.
Similarly, in cold weather, Lhasa Apsos can be more sensitive due to their relatively small size and limited insulation provided by their coat. They may require additional protection, such as a dog sweater or coat, when exposed to freezing temperatures, snow, or icy conditions. It's important to monitor their time outdoors and provide them with warm and sheltered areas to retreat to when needed.
