He is visibly shivering inside the house and refuses to be his regular bubbly self. Outside walks with a jacket is not a problem but still a bit hesitant. What do you do after a short hair trimming like this? Is he feeling too cold after the hair trimming?

Cutting or shaving your pet’s fur can actually compromise your furry friend’s ability to remain cool. Although you may have the best intentions when you turn on the clippers, your pet may have more trouble regulating heat after a shave or haircut. Without that protective layer of hair, your dog will have trouble handling both hot and cold temperatures. The undercoat, the layer of hair closest to the body, insulates your dog’s body during the winter. During the summer, the undercoat prevents your pet from becoming too hot by keeping cooler air next to the skin. Without the protection that hair provides, your pet may be more likely to develop painful rashes or bites after spending a little time in the yard. Shaving can even affect your pet for years to come if hair doesn’t grow back again after a shave or grows in an abnormal pattern. The problem is particularly harmful if your dogs’ undercoat doesn’t grow back completely.

Humans often shake or shiver when cold, as our bodies use the shivering mechanism to try to raise our temperature. These same causes can manifest in our pet dogs. Certain medical conditions or physical injuries can induce shaking, shivering, or tremors, either consistently or on an intermittent basis. A health condition may result in temperature regulation issues after washing or bathing at the groomer – something you would have seen at home had you bathed them there – that may persist for hours afterwards. If your dog is cold, help him or her warm up with a blanket and ensuring they are dry. Standing for a long period of time at the groomers can also trigger shakes or tremors, especially in older dogs or those who have existing problems.
