Overheating is dangerous for all living things, so our pets are often among those “sufferers” from the heat.
Dog owners, for example, often think about cutting their pet's hair and thereby alleviating its suffering.
Indeed, a haircut could help the dog during the hot summer months.
But before you grab the scissors, remember that your pet also needs fur to keep warm, so you need to consider whether it will have time to grow back before the need for a warm “fur coat” arises.
So, if you want to help your dog, you can shave his belly and groin area.
Of course, such measures will not be very effective during periods of animal activity, but they will help the dog cool down faster if it lies on a cool surface.
However, it is important to be careful when cutting.
Avoid cutting your pet's hair too short as this increases the risk of sunburn.
