Although it is different, small pets and elderly pets in the body are said to be unable to maintain their body temperature at a room temperature of 15 ° C or less, and the risk of getting sick will increase. The standard temperature for cats is 21 ° C to 28 ° C at room temperature. It is difficult to maintain body temperature at less than 21 ° C, so it is not recommended to set the air conditioner set temperature to less than 21 ° C in winter. Dogs are from 20 ° C to 22 ° C. It is better to consider the arrangement of furniture so that puppies, elderly dogs, and poor dogs with poor health can be used on warm beds and sofas. The humidity is 50 % to 60 % for cats, and 40 % to 60 % for dogs. Mr. Mogi pointed out, "Rubbing with the floor and furniture, the hair of the pets is static on the body with static electricity. I want to maintain humidity to reduce discharge shock." In a room where the appropriate temperature and humidity is maintained, pets are more likely to settle and have a positive effect on their owners. On the other hand, he points out that long use of kotatsu and hot carpets should be avoided. "Pets are insensitive to partially hot on the body surface. There is a danger of low -temperature burns." Mitsubishi Electric conducted a questionnaire survey of 600 pets in urban areas (men and women in Tokyo and Osaka) 64.1 % was aware of the temperature setting suitable for pets.However, 34 of these.6 % answered, "I don't know the temperature for pets."
