Hello everyone,
i'm moving from the tropics to cold Canadian weather with my senior dog who has arthritis. She was born in the tropics. It's not something I like doing but no choice. one of my questions is: what temperature should I keep the apt in the winter so that she is comfy.
thx

Hello and welcome to the forum. I would suggest temps between 68dF - 72dF. ( 20-22d C, if I converted right) She may do better than you think if the humidity is lower than your present home.

You could also try a heated bed for her. They also make self-warming beds that helps maintain body heat.
