On the hot dog days, many parents want to shave their pets. Although the dog's hair will be much refreshed after being shaved, and the pet will feel cooler. In fact, it is also harmful to dogs~ So, should we shave dogs?

Shaved After the whole body is bare, will the dog no longer be afraid of heat? In fact, the dog's thick hair has three major benefits:

First, the dog mainly dissipates heat through the soles of the feet and the tongue. There are no sweat glands on the body surface, which is why dogs always stick out their big tongues in summer. If the hair is shaved, it will not be able to block the heat from the outside world, causing the dog's body temperature to rise and unable to maintain a normal body temperature.

Second, the dog's hair is equivalent to our clothes and sunscreen, which can block direct contact with ultraviolet rays and is not easy to get sunburned.

Third, without the protection of hair, just like your exposed skin, it is easy to be persecuted by mosquitoes in summer when there are many mosquitoes, resulting in skin diseases.

So, shaved dogs are not only unable to prevent heatstroke and cool down in summer, but are more vulnerable to injury. The skin is directly exposed to the air, and dogs are prone to skin allergies, rashes and other skin diseases under the influence of dust and mosquitoes. Sometimes it feels itchy, and scratching with bacterial claws can easily break the skin and cause some skin infections, which is even more serious!

Most dogs know beauty and ugliness just like humans. , Because after being shaved, looking at your brand new appearance may have a strong sense of inferiority and outbreak of dog depression. I don't like to eat and drink, I don't want to go out for a walk, and even some attacks appear, and my temper becomes unpredictable.

Therefore, parents must pay attention, shaving in summer is harmful and useless, just trim the length of the hair properly, but don't shave it ~ think about your baby, pet
