More and more people are keeping small animals nowadays, and the pet market is developing rapidly with numerous pet care shops. Among the many small animals in the market, Border Collies are undoubtedly one of the most popular breeds. A distinct feature of Border Collies is their very developed coat. With summer approaching quickly, most Border Collie owners like to go to pet shops hoping to have their dogs shaved, so they can stay cool through the hot season. Actually, this is very bad for shepherd dogs. After understanding a series of reasons, you won’t want to shave your dog’s hair anymore.

First, a dog’s hair is like clothing for us. Without hair, they feel very uncomfortable, which can lead to a series of psychological changes. For example, some dogs care very much about their hair. If you shave their hair, they will get angry at you, or even attack you. So, if you really want to shave your dog’s hair, it is best to take them to a pet shop and let professionals handle it. This way, the dog won’t take their anger out on you.

Another situation is that if a dog is shaved very severely, it can cause a big psychological gap, making them feel a significant difference from their original hair. At this time, their mood may be very low, and they might hide alone in a corner. They won’t come out no matter who calls them. In serious cases, this may even cause depression. Another possibility is that they become rather self-conscious and won’t want to interact with familiar canine friends when going out to play, preferring to walk alone. At this time, the owner must find ways to comfort the dog and make it happy again.

Therefore, even if the owner loves cleanliness, they must also consider the dog’s feelings. Shaving the dog is something most dog owners might do. Even if you do it, you must watch the dog’s psychological changes closely and take timely measures to respond to their changes.
