Denzel & Horris the pugs had their first deshed groom with us today and wow they needed it!!
☀️ Why Double-Coated Dogs NEED a Deshed in Hot Weather ☀️
A lot of owners think shaving a double-coated dog will keep them cooler in summer, but actually, their coat is designed to help regulate their body temperature! 🐾
Breeds like pugs, as well as Huskies, labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds and Border Collies have a double coat made up of:
✨ A soft undercoat that sheds heavily
✨ A top coat that protects them from heat, sunburn & dirt
When that loose undercoat builds up, it traps heat and stops air circulating properly, leaving your dog feeling uncomfortable and overheating more easily. 🥵
A professional deshed helps by:
✔️ Removing packed undercoat
✔️ Allowing cool air to reach the skin
✔️ Reducing overheating
✔️ Cutting down shedding around the house
✔️ Keeping the coat healthy and mat-free
✔️ Helping your dog stay comfortable in warmer weather
Regular deshedding is especially important during spring and summer when dogs “blow” their coats. 🌞🐶
Your dog will feel lighter, cleaner, and much more comfortable without damaging their natural coat protection.
