Great Dane Weather Tips
Limit outdoor time to 20 minutes. Stick to grass, bring water, and avoid pavement.
Limit outdoor time to 30 minutes. Use a coat and watch for shivering.
“Great Danes generate more metabolic heat per step than almost any breed — their massive body is like a furnace that's hard to cool.”
“Despite their short coat, Great Danes overheat because of their size, not their fur. Cooling 150lbs of muscle takes much longer than cooling a 30lb dog.”
