Several situations when dogs are suitable for shaving

1. Dogs with skin diseases need to shave the hair in the affected area cleanly, so as to facilitate the application of medicine and treatment.
2. Dogs whose hair is very long and severely knotted can be shaved, which makes it easier to comb the hair and contributes to skin health.
3. Dogs with severe hair loss and frequent licking can be shaved appropriately to reduce the occurrence of hair balls.

The role of dog hair

1. Dog hair can protect against ultraviolet rays. Shaving in summer exposes the skin directly to ultraviolet rays, which has a high probability of causing dog skin burns and even triggering Heatstroke.
2. The dog's hair has the function of isolating external temperature and maintaining its own body temperature. So don’t shave your dog’s hair if you have nothing to do.

Disadvantages of shaving dogs

1. Susceptible to skin inflammation. Dogs whose coats are shaved are more susceptible to ultraviolet damage. When the skin is directly exposed to the air and the wound is scratched and damaged, it is easy to become infected with fungi and become inflamed.
2. Damage to the hair follicles. If you are not skilled in shaving and use the wrong tools, it is easy to damage the dog's hair follicles, so that the new hair of the dog will lose its luster and be unhealthy.
3. Dogs are prone to depression, because after being shaved, they are not used to seeing themselves, which can lead to a strong sense of inferiority and depression.
