To Tell or Not to Tell Is the Question?
Many owners feel that their dog's long, dense fur makes him too hot in the summer. To be honest, it is important to keep the fur clean, and it is recommended to brush and comb it, but a haircut is not necessary. Fur also plays an important role in protecting the skin from direct sunlight. Therefore - if you are already cutting the dog, it is important to make sure that the length of the remaining fur is not too short. A too short haircut exposes the dog's skin to sunlight, and can cause irritation and even razor burn.
There are dogs that are used to the haircut and respond well to it, but there are testimonies from people whose dog reacted in a traumatic way to the haircut and even went into depression for a few days - it is difficult to say whether the dog reacts this way to the haircut itself, to the loss of fur or to the experience of the haircut.
In any case, a haircut is not a necessity and therefore you should exercise judgment and examine your dog's behavior.
