The first thing that needs to be confirmed is that shearing is good for the dog’s hair volume. Generally, puppies are born with lanugo hair, so they are not very bright. If your dog has curly hair, such as Poodle Teddy, Bichon Frize, or Cocker Spaniel, then their hair will have to be shaved before it grows back, and the hair will become even and bright.

Does every dog ​​need to be trimmed? In fact, whether the dog's hair should be reduced or not depends on personal preference. If you like to dress up your dog, you can have your dog trimmed into many shapes. If you want your dog to be trimmed, If you participate in competitions, hair trimming is also a must. But in addition, some dogs need to be trimmed regularly, such as Schnauzers, Yorkshire Terriers, etc. Dogs entering the moulting period can also have their body hair trimmed appropriately to achieve a beautiful effect.

So do dogs need to be sheared more in summer? In fact, dogs can only cool down and dissipate heat through their foot pads and tongues. Nowadays, many people cut the hair of their pet dogs. In fact, it only achieves the purpose of cooling their own visual effect, and has no practical significance for the dog itself. At the same time, many dogs will not be able to adapt to losing their hair, and will become anxious, agitated, not eating, and refuse to see people or go out. Therefore, it is not recommended to cut all the hair on the dog.

What are the disadvantages of shaving a dog? Damage to hair follicles: It may be better if we ask a professional beautician to shave the dog. If we want to use a clipper to shave the dog's skin, it will be harmful to the dog. The damage to the dog's hair follicles is very serious. After damaging the hair follicles, your dog's new hair will lose its original luster and become unhealthy. Loss of the outermost layer of protection: After the dog is shaved, the light will directly shine on the skin when taken out. Everyone knows that people need to apply sunscreen in summer to prevent ultraviolet damage. Dogs can't or don't need to apply it because the surface of their skin is protected by fur. Moreover, the hair on the dog's body also has a thermal insulation effect. Although the dog's body is very hot when we touch it, the temperature at the root of the hair is lower than that on the surface. So if the protective cover is removed, the harm to the dog can be imagined.

Susceptible to skin inflammation: After the dog is shaved, the outermost layer of protection is lost. Not only can it not prevent heatstroke and cool down in summer, but it is more susceptible to ultraviolet damage. The skin is directly exposed to the air, and dogs are prone to itching and allergies under the influence of dust, pollen, insects and mosquitoes. If a dog feels itchy, he will scratch it with his paws, and the dog's skin will often be scratched. Wounds are easily inflamed by fungi.

Easily suffer from depression: This situation exists in many dogs, because after being shaved or shaved, they are not used to seeing their own appearance, which will produce a strong sense of inferiority and cause depression in dogs. The common characteristics are loss of appetite, reluctance to go out, and strong aggression. Some dogs will develop skin allergies and varying degrees of skin ulcers.
