Is 50 degrees Fahrenheit too cold to have a puppy outside to play? At what temperatures do chihuahuas get too cold? This puppy is 7-8 months and weighs a good 6-7 lbs. Just wondering what temperature is too cold to have chis outside to run around and exercise/play. Thank you.

Hi, i would suggest wearing a little coat, and only short spells of being outside at a time.
Our little dogs keep their coats on when the weather is cold, and they always prefer to be indoors, if it is too chilly  Smiley have fun.

Take care

Sarah

They should be OK, just keep an eye out for EXCESSIVE shivering and as Sarah mentioned, a little while can't hurt Smiley

Do you have pictures Dbas?

The Chihuahua needs a warm, draft free environment. Until 40 degrees Fahrenheit, a Chihuahua does not feel too cold.  If the temperature outside is 35 - 40 degrees Fahrenheit, it is advised to put a doggie sweater on the Chihuahua.  If the temperature is lower than 35 degrees Fahrenheit, it is better to keep the Chi inside the home.
