My outdoor dog gets wet in cold. Will he get sick? How to protect him?

Question

Hello! My dog Odie stays in our yard. We go for a walk every day. But the weather is changing and this week will be a rainy week. The weather is getting cold as well. I am afrd that when we go out for a walk in a rainy day, my dog Odie will get sick. Because he is not allowed to go inside of our house :( do you think when he gets wet, he will be sick ? Or what shpuld I do to protect my dog from illness? Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | neutered | 11 months and 13 days old

HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Odie is super cute! If Odie is an outside dog then he needs shelter from the rain and the cold. Provide a dog house that is dry and protects from the wind, rain and snow (if you get snow). You can even look in to safe heat sources if it gets that cold in your area. I do not recommend not having shelter for outside dogs. He shouldn't get sick with proper shelter. I hope this helps and good luck!
