Do dogs really need to be groomed?

Most people get haircuts to look better, feel better, or to simply get a fresh start in life. But for dogs and cats, proper hair hygiene is essential; failure to groom pets regularly can have serious health consequences.

What happens if you don't groom a dog?

If you don't groom your dog, dead skin and dirt are going to pile up on their coat. When you brush your dog, you're not only helping keep their coat healthy and glossy, you're also helping remove dead skin and dirt as well as dead fur and dandruff.

Why you shouldn't groom your dog?

Shaving prevents cool air from getting to the skin because the undercoat is still present. And a shaved coat doesn't protect against the sun either, which exposes your dog to greater risks of overheating, sunburn and even skin cancer.
