Dogs are regularly groomed to maintain the admirable condition of the coat but for some reasons pet parents would decide to have the dog shaved. The heat of the summer months would take a toll on the dog thus long haired breeds are commonly shaved. Excessive shedding, fur that tangles and mats easily, hot spots and other fungal infections are usually the reasons why a pet owner would opt to shave the dog. A long coated dog may be too old to tolerate a good brushing thus an owner would shave the dog to minimize the need to groom.
