🐾 DOUBLE COATED DOGS DESERVE DOUBLE THE TLC 🐾
One of the most common questions groomers get this time of year is:
“Can we shave them for summer?” ☀️✂️
While it seems helpful, most double coated breeds are actually designed to regulate their body temperature with their coat — which means shaving can sometimes do more harm than good.
A good deshed, blowout, and proper coat maintenance can make a WORLD of difference without damaging that protective coat 💨🐶
That being said, there are absolutely situations where shaving may be the safest and kindest option — especially when comfort, health, or severe matting are involved ❤️
Every dog is different, and my goal will always be to do what’s best for your pup’s comfort, wellbeing, and overall coat health 🐾✨
