My most extreme doggy make-over yet. This 16 year old chow had been struggling in the heat, even after a deshed about a month ago. But instead of a plain old summer cut, her owner decided that style was a must! Look at her strut her stuff ❤🤎❤
Ps. Despite the controversy about shaving double coated dogs, there are no studies to confirm the claims that shaving a double coat is cruel. In fact, studies show that shaving a coat can help prevent heat stroke, not cause it. Take a look:
