Most pets can tolerate temperatures that we ourselves can tolerate. As long as it is not greater than 90-95 degrees or lower than around 25-30 degrees, most pets will be ok. There is no concern if your house is around 73 degrees. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Take care : )
