There are various ways to prevent heatstroke, such as: ♪

In addition to people, you also need to be considerate of pets, such as dogs, who live with you.

Of course, dogs also need to take measures to prevent heatstroke.

It's important to avoid internal and external problems like heatstroke and heat rash during the summer!

Many pet owners groom their pets to combat the summer heat and reduce skin irritation.

This time, we'll be focusing on some of the "grooming mistakes" that can occur during grooming!

Common Cutting Mistakes and Solutions

Now, to avoid mistakes, you need to understand the cause of the cut.

We hope that by understanding the causes, you can reduce cutting errors even a little.

① Using the wrong number of clippers

In terms of time and efficiency, cutting hair with clippers is much easier.

However, there are many hidden dangers when cutting hair with clippers.

First, if you get the number of millimeters wrong and cut your dog's hair too short, you'll end up with less hair that would normally protect the skin, leading to skin problems.

Other problems can also occur if you cut your dog's hair incorrectly with clippers, such as making it more susceptible to insect bites and potentially causing infections.

For this reason, it's a good idea to research the appropriate length for your dog's breed in advance and use clippers to trim it in sections.

② Even the "eyelashes" were cut.

Depending on the breed, some owners may grow or groom their dog's eyelashes.

However, to prevent eyelashes from getting into the dog's eyes and causing damage to the eye or cornea, many owners trim their own eyelashes, resulting in over-cutting.

Because dogs live at a lower eye level than humans, dust and debris are more likely to get into their eyes than humans. Short eyelashes can reduce their ability to catch debris, potentially leading to keratitis or eye inflammation. If you're concerned about irritation, immediately visit a salon with a groomer.

③ Problems Caused by Aggressive Dogs

You often hear stories of dogs getting restless during haircuts, resulting in failed attempts. It's especially common for dogs that aren't used to being groomed or newborns to become restless during haircuts. Don't try to restrain them forcefully; instead, take your time to gradually get them used to the process by trimming and cutting. If your dog is still aggressive, consider taking them to a salon for a haircut.

Problems Caused by Cutting Mistakes

As mentioned at the beginning, excessive hair cutting can often lead to skin problems. Be aware of problems that can occur from improper cutting, such as insect bites, heat rash, and sunburn.

If you cut too short, hair may stop growing.

As temperatures rise, cutting hair short for a summer cut is easy to maintain and maintain. However, there are various risks and disadvantages to summer cuts.

The first is that hair may stop growing. According to Wanchan Honpo,

Cutting your dog's fur too short can affect its hair growth and shedding cycle, known as the "hair growth cycle," and can cause hair to stop growing or stop growing.

These symptoms are known as "hair loss after clippers" or "hair loss after shaving," and the exact cause is still unknown. However, it's highly likely that cutting your dog's fur too short is causing some kind of disruption to its hair growth cycle.

This can cause your dog's lovely, lush fur to become messy. Be careful not to cut it too short.

More susceptible to UV rays and direct sunlight

If you cut your dog's hair short to prevent heatstroke, it will actually become more susceptible to UV rays and the heat of the sun. Since a dog's hair also serves as a heat protection measure, cutting it short can prevent it from being exposed to the heat, increasing the chances of developing heatstroke or sunstroke.

Hair quality may change

The third problem is that cutting hair too short can change hair quality. While this can happen to humans, many cases have been reported in dogs where hair that was originally fluffy and fine becomes coarse and stiff after being cut short.

It is said that cutting hair long using scissors rather than clippers can minimize stress on the hair, which can help prevent hair quality changes.

To maintain your dog's health and cuteness, be careful not to over-cut!
