In summer, when you go out to walk your cat and dog, you will often encounter shaved bare dogs. The topic of whether or not you should shave your dog's hair may be quite big.

Shave the dog. If the owner doesn't feel that there are too many hairs in summer, or if he thinks that the cats and dogs are too hot in summer, shaving the dogs will help it reduce heat and relieve heat.

Some people think that dogs have too long hair, and in summer it is like wearing a fur coat, and shaving it will cooler. Some people also think that dogs do not rely on their skin to relieve heat, and shaving is useless. In fact, each has its own principles. Then why not shaved dogs?

1. There are no sebaceous glands on the dog's skin.

Dogs have underdeveloped sweat glands and cannot relieve heat based on sweating on their skin like humans. The sebaceous glands used by dogs to sweat a lot are mainly concentrated on the soles of the feet and the tip of the nose, but the total area is too small, so the actual effect of reducing the temperature is relatively limited. In summer, dogs often open their mouths and breathe heavily, which is to reduce heat by evaporating saliva.

2. Shaving your hair close to your skin is very likely to damage your dog's hair follicles and cause dermatitis.

will cause uneven hair growth and will not even cause hair to grow. Many Pomeranians will have no hair after shaving.

3. It may cause abnormal emotions in the dog.

Many dogs have anorexia, refuse to go out, and feel depressed after shaving their hair. It is likely that the dog has depression and inferiority complex. It is not satisfied with its new appearance and has no sense of security after shaving it.

4. Hair can maintain a constant temperature and humidity condition for the dog's body. After shaving the dog, the hair is less maintenance. In the air-conditioning machine room, the dog will be very prone to colds when the temperature difference is relatively large.

Therefore, it is not recommended to shave it for dogs with two layers of hair or one-sided hair. But it can cut off your hair in summer to reduce the dog's wind. Cut the hair of the soles of the feet to facilitate heat removal for dogs. In fact, it not only avoids the embarrassment of hair flying all over the sky during the hair loss period, but also does not affect the dog's skin health.
