Live In

While the short, thick coat of an American Coonhound does help keep the cold out, it may not be enough in very frigid climates. It is important to provide them a comfortable place to stay, such a dog home with insulation, when the weather becomes chilly.

Also, if you provide them with warm bedding, they'll be more comfortable. You should keep them indoors as much as possible and shield them from the wind and rain when the weather drops dramatically.

Warm weather, usually between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (15 and 24 degrees Celsius), is ideal for coonhounds. Their climatic preferences go towards milder regions, where they may go about their daily lives in relative comfort. Nevertheless, it is essential to keep an eye out for symptoms of pain, particularly while engaging in intense physical activity, even in mild weather.

Because of their thick coat and poor capacity to release excess heat by panting, American Coonhounds may be more vulnerable to heat stress. while it's hot outside, make sure they have access to drink and shade and keep them from doing anything too taxing while the sun is at its highest.

Watch out for your American Coonhound's distress signals at all times, regardless of the weather. Overheating may be indicated by symptoms such as heavy panting, excessive drooling, lack of energy, and trouble breathing. It is best to keep your Coonhound indoors, where there is proper ventilation and climate control, during very hot or cold weather.
