Determining whether you should cut or shave your dog’s fur largely depends on their breed and if they have a single or a double coat. Double coats indicate two separate fur layers, with a shorter, denser layer of fur on the interior and a longer, protective layer on the exterior, also known as the “guard layer.” Double coats naturally provide temperature regulating properties to dogs, and thus you should avoid shaving double-coated breeds.
