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.
(Salt Lake Tribune) |
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.
