Should I cut my dogs belly hair?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

It is ok to give your long-haired dog or cat a “summer cut”—trimming their long hair may make it more manageable. However, it is best to allow a professional groomer to perform the haircutting, and never shave down to the skin or try to cut the hair yourself with scissors. 14 июл. 2017 г.


Should I trim my dog's belly?

Assisting in brushing out the loose hair will help to keep your pet cool. Shaving your dog's belly may also help keep him cool when the mercury rises. This needs to be done by a professional groomer, and you should certainly ask for a groomer that you trust if a belly shave is going to be beneficial for your pet.

Why should you not cut your dog's hair?

Certain types of single-coated dogs may benefit from having a professional groomer clip their coats occasionally to prevent matting and to keep them cooler, but the coats should not be shaved down to the skin. It is best to leave at least one-inch of hair to protect them from sunburn, skin cancer, and from bug bites.

What happens if you never cut your dog's hair?

NOPE. Matting can cause serious challenges for your dog including reduced circulation on their skin, hot spots, bacteria, infections, scabs/cuts, and more. On top of that, if you don't take care of a matted coat your dog can experience pain on their skin, and their skin and even become raw and inflamed.
