On the surface, it might seem like shaving your dog's heavy coat for summer would be like putting them in shorts and a tank top, but for many breeds of dog, that double-coat is actually what's keeping them COOL!

Here are some good alternate grooming choices for double-coated dogs, to discuss with your groomer.

Contrary to what many people think, shaving a dog can actually make some dogs hotter...especially double-coated breeds. ☀️🐾

A dog’s coat helps regulate body temperature by insulating them from both heat and cold. When that coat is shaved too short, it can interfere with their natural cooling system and even increase the risk of overheating and sunburn.

For double-coated breeds like Huskies, Golden Retrievers, Shepherds, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and similar breeds, a proper deshed and undercoat removal is usually much safer and more beneficial than shaving. ✂️🛁

That said, some dogs do require shaving for medical reasons, severe matting, skin conditions, comfort, or quality of life - especially senior pets or heavily impacted coats. Every dog is different, and grooming should always be based on the individual pet’s needs, coat type, health, and comfort.

At Stellar Salon For Pets, comfort and safety always come first. 💕

Meet Doobie! 🩵 This handsome Belgian Tervuren is only 3 years old and still full of big puppy energy! After just ONE training lesson, he was already listening so much better, his owner was amazed by the transformation. 🥰🐾

Doobie and his owner weren’t dealing with a “bad dog” — they simply needed clearer communication.

Puppy-proofing your home is important, but it's only part of a successful strategy to teach your dog to keep their teeth to themselves. Puppies explore the world with their mouths, (and their pointy little teeth,) and chewing is super important for their development! They won't know the difference between their chew toys and your television remote until you teach them, though.

If you have a new furry family member, we can help!

🩷Meet Roxy 🐾
This big, beautiful girl was recently rescued by her amazing new family, who reached out for help with her over-the-top excitement when guests arrive.

Today was just our second lesson—and the progress already speaks volumes. Roxy was more attentive, more responsive, and settled down much faster when I walked in. Even better? Her humans are putting in the work, and it’s clearly paying off 🙌
