Warning from the SPCA: Don't shave double-coated dogs
Contrary to popular belief, shaving double-coated dogs doesn't help them stay cool. Instead, it removes the layers that allow the dog to regulate its temperature effectively.

The Garden Route SPCA - George (GRSPCA) has recently learned about a tragic incident where a husky died from heatstroke after being shaved.
This incident has prompted them to raise awareness and caution dog owners against shaving double-coated breeds, as it can lead to serious health risks, including heatstroke. Shaving a dog with a double coat might seem like a way to help them cool off, but it actually exposes them to greater dangers. Here's why:
The purpose of the double coat:
Double-coated dogs, such as huskies, golden retrievers and German shepherds, have a unique coat structure that serves a critical function in regulating their body temperature and protecting them from the elements. The coat consists of two layers - an undercoat, a soft, dense layer that insulates the dog by trapping air close to the skin, and a topcoat (guard hair),a coarser layer that repels dirt, debris, and harmful UV rays. Together, these layers keep the dog warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather by providing airflow and insulation.
Shaving disrupts natural temperature regulation:
Contrary to popular belief, shaving double-coated dogs doesn't help them stay cool. Instead, it removes the layers that allow the dog to regulate its temperature effectively. This puts the dog at a higher risk of heatstroke, especially in hot weather.
Skin damage and increased risk of heatstroke:
Without their protective coat, sunburn becomes a major risk, as the dog's skin is no longer shielded from the sun's harmful UV rays. Skin irritations can arise, as the coat's protection against dirt, allergens and other irritants is lost.
Permanent damage to the coat:
Shaving can permanently alter the way a double coat grows back. Often, the guard hairs don’t regrow correctly, leaving the undercoat patchy and ineffective at maintaining temperature control. This can lead to more frequent matting, discomfort, and an increased need for grooming.
Proper grooming is essential:
Rather than shaving, proper grooming is the safest and most effective way to care for double-coated dogs. Regular brushing helps to remove loose undercoat fur, improving airflow and preventing matting. Deshedding treatments can be used to reduce excess hair without harming the coat’s natural structure.

If you’re uncertain about your dog’s grooming needs, consult a veterinarian to ensure your pet stays comfortable and healthy without compromising its natural protective coat.
