Seldom dog owners ask if the dog will become cold after shaving it? ? Actually, it won’t be. Shaving just removes excess hair without changing its body temperature.

Dogs will become cold after shaving. Hair plays a warm role in dogs. Sled dogs such as Alaska and Husky rely on their thick hair to resist the severe cold in the polar regions. Suddenly cut off the dog's hair, and the dog will be uncomfortable and feel the cold.

Small dogs like Schnauzer and Teddy, they must prepare clothes to keep warm when they suddenly shave their hair. Hair is the protective layer of dog's skin. Shaving the hair off can easily cause skin diseases, so it is not recommended to shave your dog.

Dog's hair keeps warm, and also plays a role in isolating temperature in summer to prevent the dog from directly feeling the high temperature. Dogs mainly rely on their tongue and feet to dissipate heat, and have nothing to do with the skin and hair on their bodies, so hair cut does not play a role in cooling.
