Why You Shouldn’t Shave Double-Coated Dogs

At JD’s Dog Spa, we care deeply about your dog’s health, comfort, and well-being—and that includes their coat! Many pet parents think shaving a dog’s thick coat will help them stay cooler in the summer, but for double-coated breeds, this can actually do more harm than good.

What Is a Double Coat?
Double-coated dogs have two layers of fur:
• A soft, insulating undercoat that keeps them warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
• A tougher topcoat that repels dirt, moisture, and harmful UV rays.

Breeds like Huskies, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Border Collies are all double-coated.

Why Not Shave?
• Temperature Regulation: Their coat naturally adjusts with the seasons, shedding in spring and fall. Shaving disrupts this process and can actually make it harder for your dog to stay cool.
• Skin Protection: The topcoat protects against sunburn and bug bites. Without it, your dog’s skin is left exposed and vulnerable.
• Coat Damage: Shaving can permanently damage the way their fur grows back—often resulting in patchy, uneven, or wiry regrowth.

What You Can Do Instead
Regular grooming is key! Brushing out loose undercoat helps with airflow and reduces shedding. At JD’s Dog Spa, we offer specialized deshedding treatments and grooming techniques to keep your double-coated dog feeling great without risking their coat health.

When in doubt, don’t shave—groom!

Summer’s Coming—But Hold Off on the Shave!

We know it’s tempting to shave your dog down as the temperatures rise, but for many breeds, it’s not always the best option. A dog’s coat actually helps regulate their body temperature by providing insulation against both heat and sunburn. Shaving can interfere with this natural cooling system and may even lead to overheating or skin issues.

Instead of a full shave, regular grooming, brushing, and trimming can help keep your pup cool, comfortable, and tangle-free all summer long.

Have questions about what’s best for your dog’s coat? We’re happy to help you figure out the best warm-weather grooming plan!

❤️ “One of the hardest parts about being away from rawlins is we haven't found a groomer that is great at cutting Aussie here like you are. So just know we miss you and know how amazing you are”

**“At JD’s Dog Spa, we understand that some dogs may feel nervous or unsure about grooming, especially if they are new to the process. We are happy to work with dogs that need extra patience and reassurance to help them feel more comfortable. However, for the safety of both your pet and our staff, we are unable to groom dogs that show true aggression, such as biting, lunging, or extreme resistance that could result in injury.

Starting grooming at a young age is key to helping dogs develop a positive association with the process. Regular exposure, gentle handling, and positive reinforcement can make grooming a stress-free experience for your pet over time.”**
