This is a thermal image of a dual coated dog that has been shaved into a Lion Clip. The non-shaved portion which would include the head and chest is scanned at 24°C (75°F) and the shaved portion from behind the shoulder blades to the tail reads 30°C (86°F). This dual hair coat is present for a reason... mainly thermal regulation. Shaving a dual coated dog does not make them cooler. Instead increases the chance of sunburn, over heating, and permanent coat damage.
