Many pet friends seem to think that dogs need to take off their clothes in summer and add clothes in winter, just like people, so in hot summer, pet owners will take their dogs to pet shops for shearing and shaving. Although the original intention of shaving dogs is good, because the physiological structure of dogs is different from that of people, dogs should be careful when shaving! So under what circumstances can you shave your dog? Under what circumstances is it not suitable to shave?

1. In the northern cities where the temperature is not high in summer, shaving is a helpless move. If you don't feel hot, don't shave your dog for fun.
There is no floor and carpet at home, only floor tiles or marble. If you shave your dog in this situation, it is easy to catch a cold.

Third, the disadvantages of dog shaving
1. It is easy to damage the hair follicles of the dog's skin when shaving, which will have an impact on the dog's long hair in the future.
2. It hurts the dog's self-esteem. Dogs have their own aesthetic standards. Stop looking. Dogs are usually stupid. Many dogs are unhappy after shaving, don't eat, hide and other abnormal behaviors. Will be very sad and feel ugly.
3. Hair can not only be used for viewing, but also protect the dog's skin, and prohibit some injuries, such as resisting ultraviolet rays, blocking sunlight, resisting humidity and cold. Moreover, the temperature is very high in summer, and the dog's hair can play a certain role in cooling down. In hot weather, the dog just finished basking in the sun and entered the skin of the dog's hair model. It is very hot outside, so the temperature inside is lower than that outside, so the shaved hair is lower.
Fourth, matters needing attention after shaving
1. Never laugh at a shaved dog. That's all that matters. A shaved dog usually looks funny, but never smiles. Dogs can feel what your laughter really means, so even unintentional jokes are not allowed. If you can't help laughing, please go out and laugh.
2. In the days after shaving, try to hug the shaved dog as much as possible. If only one of the dogs in the family has shaved, it is even more necessary to hug the shaved dog, comfort him and praise him for his beauty.
Don't invite dog friends to see the dog that has just shaved. Some parents think that the dog that has just shaved is particularly cute and will invite dog friends to see it, but this situation is best avoided. Casual jokes will hurt the dog's self-esteem.
4. spread a thin towel on the floor at home or where dogs are used to sleeping, because dogs who have just shaved will not be used to sleeping directly on the floor.
5. Pay attention to the hygiene and disinfection at home, because without the protection of hair, the dog's skin is more susceptible to various viruses, so be sure to do a good job of hygiene at home.
