The short coat of an American Foxhound does little to keep the cold out. Although they are tolerant of mild temperatures, they could benefit from extra covering when the weather becomes very chilly, particularly when it's windy or rainy.

In the winter, you may keep your dog warm by giving them a heated bed, a dog house, or even a dog coat. It is critical to keep an eye out for symptoms of pain, such shaking.

Because of their short coat and varied hunting history, American Foxhounds can withstand warmer weather better than other breeds.

Nevertheless, heat-related problems might still affect them. During hot weather, make sure there is sufficient drink, shade, and rest periods to prevent exerting yourself too much.

Their paw pads are extremely sensitive, therefore you should be careful around the hot pavement and other similar surfaces. If you want to walk them when it's cooler, it's best to do it in the morning or late at night.

Over time, dogs may adjust to a wide range of temperatures. The likelihood of an American Foxhound adapting to a new climate increases the more time it spends in that environment. It is best to ease the dog into a new area with severe temperatures if possible. Extending the time spent outside in hot or cold weather, for instance, should be done gradually.
