Pet owners might think that winter season calls for trimming their dog’s hair which should actually be not the case. Winter temperatures are very chilly and dogs would benefit more if they kept their hair which could help keep them warm and insulated. Their hair coat or fur can act as a barrier and can trap heat to maintain tolerable temperatures despite the low temperatures. But if you’re struggling to comb through your dog’s matted fur already, then this could be an exemption to give them that haircut. Just remember to take extra precautions not to leave them out in the cold weather. Low temperatures pose a problem for aging dogs, so you might have to consider maintaining their long hair coats come winter. If you do decide to trim your dog’s hair coat or fur, you should be aware that the texture of their coat or fur might not revert to how they once were. And in case you’re wondering, trimming would not do any harm to your dog’s health.
If you still have some questions about grooming in mind, make an appointment with your vet Jacksonville FL to discuss this further.
