No, it is not necessary to do this
Many Fido owners believe that all of their fur needs to be trimmed off in the summer. As we do with our hair so as not to suffer from the heat, the same is thought to be useful and necessary for dogs. Today, however, we will explain to you because you don’t have to clip your dog’s coatunless there are health reasons established by the veterinarian.
The heat bothers everyone, people, as well as animals. On days when the temperatures are too much high, we all have to deal with unpleasant sensations. For our four-legged friends it is instinctive to want to remove a bit of furto make them feel less heat.
Shearing the fur of puppies is never an option to take in order to freshen up the dogs. You should not go to the groomeras many owners actually do, thinking zero shaving can relieve the annoyances caused by the too intense summer heat.
Perhaps not everyone knows that the fur of animals has a very specific function, which is not that aesthetics what we think. The hair, in summer as in winter, works as a thermoregulator for the bodies of our animal friends. That is, he is able to maintain Fido’s temperature all the time constant.
Through the mechanism of thermoregulation, the respiratory rate increases, the ventilation proceeds more quickly and therefore accelerates the evaporation capacity of the surface of the lungs. Also explained why in hot weather dogs always have their mouths open and their tongues dangling.
Why don’t you have to clip your dog’s coat? We give you another good reason
Not only does dog fur work as a thermoregulator of body temperature, but filter even the sun’s rays, protecting their skin from sunburn. By removing the fur, you put Fido at risk: sunburn, rashes and burns are not pleasant.
Remember that the dog’s coat must be kept clean and tidy. So yes to a thinning. No to a full shave.
