Do NOT shave any double coated breed! Great information, if you don't already know.

🐾 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT from NEOCR 🐾

Please Don’t Shave Your Collie for Summer!

As the first day of Summer is tomorrow and the temperatures rise, we often see well‑meaning owners shaving their double‑coated dogs to “keep them cool.”
But shaving a Collie — or any double‑coated dog — does not cool them down.
It removes their natural insulation, increases heat risk, and can permanently damage the coat.

🎥 Watch this helpful explanation:

🌤️ Why shaving is harmful
A double coat is designed to:
- Insulate against heat and cold
- Protect the skin from sunburn
- Allow airflow down to the skin
- Help the dog cool itself naturally

Shaving removes this protection and can lead to overheating, sunburn, and a coat that may never grow back correctly.

🚫 When shaving is appropriate
Only in cases of:
- Severe matting
- A veterinarian‑directed medical condition

Never for heat relief!

🌞 Safe ways to help your Collie stay cool
- Provide shade and fresh water
- Use fans or cooling mats
- Use a cooling vest during outdoor activities (like Piper's in the photo)
- Exercise only in mornings/evenings
- Brush regularly to remove loose undercoat

A healthy, brushed double coat is the best summer protection they have!

💛 Thank you for helping us keep Collies safe, comfortable, and protected this summer. Please share to help educate others.

Update microchip information. Find that thundershirt. Make sure your pets collar is on tight (to not slip off) & has current information on its tags. Buy more CBD chews. Create a cozy spot for your dog to hang out. If necessary, contact your vet for more meds.
