Saucy1121,Once, my yellow Labrador needed to have a growth on her side removed, so her fur surrounding and over it was shaved off. She was completely UNself-conscious about how she looked afterwards. It wasn’t her bare skin, but the stitches in the middle of her shaved side that called for covering her with a T shirt until the stitches could come out and her fur grew back.

Sun on bare skin >>>> skin cancer!

I thought the hair helped keep them cool. ?

Ya, sunburn would definitely hurt your dog. They don’t need to be shaved for summer, that’s not kind.

Put on some sunscreen. One of my dogs had surgery once and needed her hip shaved. The vet said to use sun screen until her fur grew back.

It’s a joke people. Adrian isn’t advocating shaving your pet.
