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. Many people who shave their dogs find that their dogs are happier, and they do it again each year. Anecdotally, dogs that have been shaved appear to have more energy and be more comfortable being active. If your dog is prone to hot spots, or bacterial skin infections, a summer shave can be helpful.

The first step is to remove the tick or ticks right away. This requires a very thorough exam of the whole body, and for long-haired dogs, it may help to shave the fur in order to uncover all the ticks. If caught early, most dogs will recover within a few hours. Occasionally, signs can worsen 24 hours after tick removal before improving. If signs persist after removal, your dog should be checked for additional ticks. Most dogs will recover within a few days after the tick has been removed and residual signs have been treated. The only way to prevent tick paralysis is to prevent ticks from attaching to your dog or by removing them right away. Remove ticks immediately.
