Can dogs shave when the weather is hot?

Some people will say that dogs should not shave, but this is wrong. To be precise: "You can shave your hair, but don't shave it completely. The high temperature in summer and high humidity in some areas can easily suffocate the skin at the bottom of dogs, which increases the possibility of fungal skin diseases, especially for dogs in cold areas, and it is even more unbearable in hot environments.

The reason why it is emphasized not to shave your hair is because the fine hair at the bottom helps to resist ultraviolet rays and heat insulation. If the hair is shaved, it will directly expose the dog's skin to the sun, which is more likely to cause heatstroke or heatstroke.

It is best to trim the dog's beauty every two weeks, and pay special attention to the trimming of eyes, mouth and feet when cleaning.

Around the eyes

Hair near the eye socket is easy to prick the eyes, so it needs to be trimmed regularly to pay attention to the length.

When trimming facial hair, you can gently grasp the long hair on the dog's chin with your left thumb and forefinger, hold your neck with the other three fingers, and slightly fix the dog's head so that it does not move.

Comb the hair around your eyes with a comb first, and it will be easier to see whether it is curly or may be tied to your eyes.

Don't let the dog move when trimming, and quickly cut off the long hair with scissors. If the hair on the dog's nose is too long, it should also be trimmed.

The hair above the eyes is too long and messy, which will affect the line of sight and prick the eyes.

Around the mouth

Hair near the mouth is easy to touch food or saliva turns yellow, which makes it easier to get dirty. Too long hair not only affects eating, but also causes health problems.

Trim around the mouth, starting with the chin, and then trim the long hair around the mouth.

When trimming the chin, grasp the nose and mouth with the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, and then comb the hair of the chin.

foot

Dogs are very lively and often run around. If the hair on the feet is too long and too much, especially between the fingers on the soles of the feet, it is easy to carry dirt and it is not easy to clean it.

Grab the hind legs and shave from the bottom up, paying special attention not to let the dog move.

The length of hair around the sole of the foot is based on the height of the meat pad, up to one centimeter.

Gently press with your fingers to separate your toes, then remove the hair between your fingers and push it into a V shape.

The hair between the meat pads is easy to hide evil, so it must be removed. The hair on the ankle can be trimmed with scissors.

After shaving, you should bathe your dog with a special bath lotion for pets. It is mild and non-irritating and will not harm the dog's skin.
