Summer Overheating: How a Shorter Coat Can Help Prevent Your Dog from Overheating.


When temperatures rise, we all need to cool down – and that includes our dogs. But did you know that a well-groomed coat can help prevent overheating? In this blog, we explain why grooming in summer is important, which dogs benefit from it, and what to look out for when having your dog groomed during the warm months.

## Why is grooming in summer important?

Dogs regulate their body temperature differently than humans. They can't sweat all over like we do, but lose heat through their tongue by panting and by sweating through their paw pads. A coat that is too thick or unkempt can cause them to retain more heat, which can lead to overheating.

A well-groomed coat helps by improving air circulation through the fur, allowing heat to escape more easily. Grooming also reduces the chance of mats. Mats trap extra heat and can also cause unpleasant irritation. A nicely trimmed coat also helps, of course, if your dog wants to go into the water to cool off. Less dirt and sand will get stuck in the coat, and the dog will dry faster.

## Does every dog need to be groomed in the summer?

Of course not. Not every dog benefits from a shorter coat in the summer. It mainly depends on your dog's coat type. For instance, there are dogs with a single coat, like Poodles and Doodles. These dogs don't have an undercoat, but often have a thick, fast-growing coat that needs to be trimmed to prevent mats and overheating. A short trim can help these dogs get through the summer more comfortably.
Additionally, there are dogs with a double coat, such as Golden Retrievers, Huskies, and Bernese Mountain Dogs. A double coat consists of an undercoat and a top coat. The undercoat protects these dogs from the cold in winter, but in the summer, it can also help keep heat out. Instead of shaving these dogs, it's better to brush them well to thin out the coat.

**Tip:** Are you unsure if your dog needs a summer trim? Consult with a professional groomer to determine what's best.

## Common mistakes when shaving or clipping your dog

Although grooming in the summer has many benefits, there are also mistakes you want to avoid. For example, shaving the coat too short can increase the risk of sunburn because the skin is more exposed to the sun. You might also forget to properly care for the paws. In the summer, dogs walk more often on hot asphalt or sand, making well-cared-for paws extra important. These problems usually arise if you try to groom your dog yourself without experience. How exactly to clip a dog depends on many different factors. Therefore, we recommend always choosing an experienced groomer. This ensures the very best care for your dog.

## Extra summer tips besides grooming

Besides grooming, there are other ways to keep your dog cool:

- Always provide plenty of shade and fresh water
- Let your dog cool down regularly by seeking out water or using a wet towel
- Take walks early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the heat.
- Use a cooling mat or other cooling items if you notice your dog is hot.
