☀️ SHORT ISN’T ALWAYS COOLER ☀️
One of the biggest myths in dog grooming is that shaving every dog super short automatically keeps them cooler in summer.
In reality, many coats are designed to help regulate temperature, protect the skin from UV rays, and allow airflow through the coat. ✂️🐶
That doesn’t mean dogs should never be clipped shorter — every breed, coat type, lifestyle and medical need is different.
For some dogs, regular de-shedding, brushing and coat maintenance can actually help more than taking the coat extremely short.
That’s why we always groom with the individual dog in mind, not just the weather. 💜
⚠️ Please remember:
Not all coats are the same. Double-coated breeds, spaniels, curly coats and continuously growing coats can all respond differently to clipping.
If you’re unsure what’s best for your dog this summer, we’re always happy to advise.
