It's much easier to keep your dog free of those annoying warm weather parasites when his coat is short. Fleas and ticks are easier to see and treat. If your dog has a full-hair coat and lives in air conditioning or regularly lies on a cool surface, his coat can slow down cooling. The fur can also reduce cooling after he has been wet down with water. If he’s a water baby and his coat is frequently damp, he will dry more quickly if he has had a haircut. This can prevent maggots making their home in his moist coat. If your dog is prone to hot spots, or bacterial skin infections, a summer shave can be helpful.

Please do not shave your dog and avoid frequent shampooing, especially with something like Dawn that will strip the coat of vital oils. If you must shampoo, use a product made for the purpose of killing fleas and being gentle on the dog's skin and coat if you can.
