Do you want to shave your blond hair in summer?

Whether golden retrievers need shaving in summer is a common problem. According to the advice of professional veterinarians, golden retrievers don't need to be shaved. The reason for this is the following：

1. Protect the skin: Golden hair can protect the skin from sunlight and insect bites. Shaving will expose the skin of golden retrievers and increase the risk of skin injury and sunburn.

2. regulating body temperature: golden retriever has the function of regulating body temperature and can keep cool in summer. Shaving will destroy this natural regulation mechanism and make golden retrievers more susceptible to hot weather.

3. Prevention of insect-borne diseases: Golden Hairs can prevent mosquito bites and reduce the risk of vector-borne diseases. Shaving will make golden retrievers more vulnerable to mosquitoes and other pests.

4. Hair growth cycle: Golden retriever dogs have a long hair growth cycle, and it takes a long time to recover after shaving. Shaving may lead to the decrease of hair quality and affect the appearance and protection function of golden retriever dogs.
