1. For double-coated dogs such as Huskies and Samoyeds, shaving will not only not cool the dog down, it will not reduce shedding and, most importantly, it will cause damage to the dog. 2. There are many examples of poor shaving techniques that can damage the dog’s hair follicles and cause the hair to stop growing.4. Some dogs can suffer from low self-esteem, depression and even a change in temperament as a result of the dramatic change in appearance.5. Dogs do not need to be shaved, as the undercoat is naturally shed in the summer and the back hair is left in place to provide insulation. As an example, it’s the same as a popsicle vendor with a quilt to keep the cold out. Dogs have evolved their own winter and summer hair changing systems over many years, and they are not meant to be shaved bald. 6. Dogs produce a lot of sweat glands on their tongues, and there are also sweat glands on the pads of their feet, so by sticking their tongues out in the summer they are cooling themselves. 7. You don’t have to shave your dog to cool down, you can buy ice pads for your dog and rub the pads of their feet with cool water from time to time, which will also help to cool them down.
