🚫✂️ Why You Should Never Shave a Double-Coated Dog ✂️🚫
We know it’s HOT out there, and it might seem like shaving your double-coated dog (like Huskies, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, or Aussies) would help keep them cool—but don’t do it! 🙅♀️
🐶 Double-coated dogs have a built-in temperature control system! Their coat is made up of two layers:
➡️ The undercoat (soft, fluffy layer that insulates)
➡️ The topcoat (coarse guard hairs that protect from sunburn, bug bites, and heat)
💡 Shaving them can actually:
❌ Damage their coat permanently
❌ Disrupt their ability to regulate body temp
❌ Increase risk of sunburn and heatstroke
❌ Lead to patchy or uneven regrowth
Instead of shaving, we recommend:
✅ Regular deshedding and brushing
✅ A proper bath and blow out to remove dead undercoat
✅ Keeping them in the shade, with plenty of fresh water
