Is it bad to walk my dog outside in the snow when its 2 degrees F outside?

I just walked my dog outside in the snow in 2 degrees f. She had problems walking after 10 min walking in the snow. How long can a walk her when it gets cold? will the cold hurt her paws? thanks

1. um, Idk, Probably theres nothing to worry about
2. Dogs can stand being in the cold longer than we can. If you weren't freezing your a$$ off, then your dog probably wasn't either. The cold shouldn't hurt them, just make sure they don't walk on salt. That can make their feet sore.
3. Well wouldnt your feet be cold if you didnt have anything on your feet. If its a big dog I understand why u r taking them out. I have 2 little dogs and i use peeeee pads with them.
4. Yes, the cold will hurt her Paws. Their Paws are super sensitive so i recommend you get her doggie shoes or walk her somewhere else. Some breeds like the Spitz do better in the snow than others.
5. the cold and snow wont hurt the dogs feet. the pads on a dogs feet are like our shoes. If the dog has any problems from it, it would be from the road salt on the street or sidewalk.
