To Shave or Not to Shave? Your Dog, That Is...

Should owners have their dogs shaved for the summer? According to an article in the Salt Lake Tribune, that's a polarizing topic among groomers and veterinarians.

The article lists these arguments against:
  • Shaving exposes a dog to sunburn, bug bites and skin disease.
  • A dog’s fur serves as insulation against heat.
  • The fur will grow back fuzzy and may take two years to return to its natural state—if it ever does.

And for:
  • Shaving helps a dog keep cool during the summer.
  • Shaving reduces the amount of dog hair in the home.
  • Shaving reduces the need for other grooming services.
