In the hot summer, many pet owners like to shave their pets. From a human perspective, it seems good, but how do pets really feel about it? Generally, pets have three reactions after being shaved. Some pets cherish their fur very much; if you shave them, they will get angry at you or even attack the person trying to take away their fur.

1. Anger

Some pets cherish their fur very much; if you shave them, they will get angry at you or even attack the person trying to take away their fur.

Countermeasure: 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 have rich experience in managing pets' agitation, and your little friend will not take out its anger on you.

2. Depression

Some pets, especially when shaved very harshly or completely shaved, feel a big difference from their original fur. Psychologically, they may not be able to accept it, feel low-spirited, hide alone in a corner, and refuse to come out when called. In severe cases, they may even not want to go out for walks.

Countermeasure: If the owner is unaware that their pet will have this reaction after grooming and shaves them, then you just have to wait for them to get over it themselves. Remember not to shave them completely again in the future!

3. Inferiority

Some pets feel that being shaved is like having been neutered or spayed, losing some bodily functions, which causes them to become inferior. Originally lively pets become inactive, and when going for a walk, they don’t like to interact with familiar peers and walk on the sidelines by themselves.

Countermeasure: Owners need not worry. Gently pet and comfort your dog, constantly praise its beauty in a soft tone, and spend more time playing and cheering it up. If it refuses to go out for walks, don’t force it. Actually, pets’ fur grows quite fast, and after a few days there will be some fur growth, at which point the dog’s mood will naturally improve.
