Hi. My dog is 4 years old, she is a mix of german shepherd and rottweiler. She has renal kidney failure. She usually sleeps in one room of the house. The room is pretty cold and in the winter it can reach 0 °C. She loves her room but is it too cold for her?

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If she has been fine in this room previously, she should continue to be fine sleeping here. She has a fairly thick coat judging from the pictures so her body is most likely able to tolerate this temperature just fine. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
