Pet Grooming Tips in Summertime
Although your pet may have a warm thick coat, long-haired cats and dogs are actually kept COOL from this. The coat acts as insulation and it regulates the dog or cat’s body temperature, so when it’s hot, it keeps the cool in, and vise-versa.
The best way to keep your pet cool is to keep your pet’s coat mat-free, well-brushed, and clean.
If you are considering grooming your cat or dog this summer, try to leave at least two inches of fur to protect your pet from the elements. Be aware that once shaved, a double-coated pet’s coat will never grow back the same.

Pet Grooming Tips for the Summer – by Animal Behavior College Graduate
Great Pet Grooming Tips for Summertime. Thanks for sharing! 🙂 🙂
Thank you for sharing these pet grooming tips for summertime!
This article was quoted slightly off. You DO want to groom your pet (which is the main statement of my post) but you DON’T want to shave your pet down for the summer, which is what many owners consider doing when it can actually damage your pet. In this article where it questions whether to GROOM a pet, its supposed to ask whether one should SHAVE your pet. The author (which is myself) is also a Dog Trainer, not a Dog Groomer.
