Dog Shaving

　　As the weather gets hotter, many owners choose to shave their pet cats and dogs to keep them cooler. From our own perspective, this is good—not only saving time but also helping pets with their heat sensitivity issues. But as pets, do you know how they feel? Today the editor will take you to see what reactions shaved pets might have.

　　1. Anger

　　Some pets cherish their fur very much; if you cut their hair, they will get angry at you and may even attack the person trying to take their fur.

　　Solution: If this is the case and you really want to shave your pet, it is recommended to find a professional pet groomer to handle it. They are experienced in managing pets’ irritability and the little one won’t take out its anger on you.

　　2. Depression

　　Some pets become particularly upset after a severe haircut, especially if shaved completely. They may feel a big difference from their original fur and might psychologically struggle to accept it. Their mood may become low; they hide by themselves and refuse to come out. In severe cases, they don’t even want to go out for walks.

　　Solution: If the owner didn’t anticipate this reaction and shaved the pet anyway, then you can only wait for the pet to get over it by itself. Remember not to shave it completely again in the future!

　　3. Insecurity

　　Some pets feel that shaving them is like undergoing a neutering surgery, as if they lost some bodily functions, making them insecure. Originally lively pets become inactive and avoid familiar same-species friends when going for a walk, choosing to walk alone on the side.

　　Solution: Owners don’t need to worry; gently comfort and pet your dog. Continuously praise it softly for its appearance and spend more time playing with it to cheer it up. If the pet doesn’t want to go out for walks, don’t force it. Fur grows back quite fast; after a few days, it will grow out a bit, and the pet’s mood will naturally improve.
