🐾 THE DOUBLE COAT MYTH 🐾
Think shaving your double-coated dog (like a Husky, Golden, or Aussie) keeps them cool in the summer? It actually does the exact opposite!
Here is why you should ditch the shave and opt for a deshedding treatment instead:
Built-in AC: The undercoat sheds out, leaving the guard hairs to circulate air and keep them cool. Shaving destroys this natural insulation.
Sun Protection: Without that top coat, their pale skin is completely exposed to sunburn and heatstroke.
Coat Ruin: Shaving can permanently damage the hair follicles, causing the coat to grow back patchy, coarse, or Velcro-like.
Keep those coats long, brushed, and naturally protected! ☀️🐕
