Shaving dogs
There is a young lady at the dog park with a Husky. She's about to shave
the poor dog down because her dad doesn't want to deal with the dog hair, and now that it's no longer cold, he says the dog doesn't need it (in fact that the dog would be more comfortable without hair). I think we've discussed before how the whole coat is part of the thermoregulatory mechanism of dogs, and shaving can impact their ability to control their body temperature, adversely. She may be able to convince her dad if she can show something along the lines of a study (or half a dozen) that demonstrate this. I checked the archives, but couldn't find anything, and generic Google searches aren't yielding it either. If anyone has the information handy, could you please let me know? Suja |
