Poodle (Detailed Introduction)

　　In the hot summer, heat-sensitive and cool-loving dogs like to lie on the floor, grass, or other cool places. Does clipping a dog’s hair guarantee a cool summer? Are all dogs suitable for hair clipping?
　　1. Situations that require hair clipping:
　　1. Dogs confirmed to have skin diseases: Clipping the hair before treatment improves the effect.
　　2. Dogs with severe shedding and frequent licking: Clipping all hair can reduce hairball problems.
　　3. Dogs that are really heat-sensitive, or dogs with long hair that is matted and cannot be detangled.
　　2. Situations not suitable for hair clipping:
　　1. Cities in northern regions where summer temperatures are not high: Since hair clipping is a last resort, do not clip the dog's hair just for fun if they do not feel hot.
　　2. Homes without flooring or carpet, but with tile or marble floors: Clipping the hair in these environments can easily cause colds.
　　3. Dogs with overly sensitive personalities and strong self-esteem: Especially intact male dogs without KC registration; hair is a symbol of masculinity for them, and clipping can hurt their self-esteem.
　　4. Households with two or more dogs that sometimes fight: Hair also protects the dog’s skin; if the dogs are not very friendly and fight, avoid clipping to prevent injuries.
　　5. Dogs that have outdoor habits: Some house dogs go outside; in such cases, clipping is not suitable to avoid injuries outside.
　　Suggestion: Do not clip a dog’s hair casually unless necessary, as frequent clipping is bad for the dog's skin.
