Is it good for dogs to cut their hair in summer?

Benefits of shearing

1. Avoid heatstroke in long-haired dogs.

Summer is the most difficult season for dogs, especially long-haired dogs, which have high temperature and humidity and are prone to heatstroke.

They generally use spitting and panting to dissipate heat, and their mouths and chests are always wet, which is easy to cause eczema. So, unless you have a serious skin disease, don't shave your dog all over.

2. Prune properly to dissipate heat

Cutting hair is good for dogs. Although dogs don't sweat, thick hair will prevent them from emitting heat when they come into contact with cold objects, so thinning hair can make dogs more comfortable. However, the existence of hair can block the damage caused by direct sunlight to the dog's skin and reduce the occurrence of sunburn, so it is necessary to trim it properly instead of shaving it.

Pay attention to the method of shearing wool.

If you want to shear your dog at home, the method is the most important. You must cut it against your skin with scissors. Don't pick up your hair and cut it, because you may accidentally cut their skin. For dogs, it is enough to cut their hair once a summer. In addition, attention should be paid to keeping the hair on the lower abdomen when shearing, so as to protect the dog's reproductive organs from harm.
