In the hot summer, pet beauty salons are booming: pet dog hair cutting, bathing and other projects are very popular. Pet doctors remind consumers that pet grooming should be done in moderation, otherwise it may affect the dog's mood. Excessive shearing may also lead to skin diseases in pet dogs and their owners.

After grooming, the dog “becomes depressed”

No matter how the owner calls, Doudou, the pet dog at Ms. Liu’s home, just lies on the ground, listless. It turned out that a few days ago, Ms. Liu took the puppy to a pet grooming shop for a haircut and grooming. After that, it became "melancholy": it wouldn't eat, wouldn't play, and wouldn't make any noise.

Excessive shearing is prone to skin diseases

Pet doctor Dr. Chen said that the hair on dogs can resist ultraviolet rays and prevent skin from contacting various types of bacteria. Dogs often lie on the ground, and their exposed skin is prone to fungal infection and skin diseases. When cutting your pet dog's hair, don't shave it completely. You should leave at least 3 centimeters in length. It is best not to cut the hair under the dog's belly to prevent the dog from catching cold while sleeping and causing diarrhea and other symptoms. In addition, owners can easily be infected when they are intimate with a pet dog suffering from skin diseases, and symptoms such as erythema and prickly heat will appear on the body. When encountering these situations, both people and pets must receive timely treatment.

Pet grooming depends on the breed of dog

Not all pet dogs are suitable for hair clipping and grooming. For example, Huskies are cold zone dogs whose hair can regulate their own temperature and cannot be sheared; Maltese dogs, Yorkshire terriers, etc. will shed their hair on their heads and backs in the summer and do not need to be sheared; British shepherd dogs In summer, the thick long hair on the body can be thinned to cool it down; for other dog breeds such as Cocker Spaniel, Schnauzer, Pomeranian and other breeds, the hair can be trimmed every two to three months.
