The main things to pay attention to after shaving your dog are as follows: First, pay attention to keeping the dog warm to prevent the dog from catching a cold. Second, pay attention to hygiene and disinfection at home, and keep the dog’s living environment clean and dry. Third, pay attention to the dog’s emotional changes, comfort the dog more, and interact and play with the dog more. Fourth, be careful not to laugh at the dog, otherwise it will hurt the dog's self-esteem. This is also the most important point.

1. Pay attention to keeping the dog warm

The dog’s resistance will decrease after shaving. Especially in winter, the dog will easily catch a cold, so the owner must pay attention to keeping the dog warm. To keep warm, place a blanket where your dog sleeps. If you are shaving your dog in winter or when the weather changes, you can help your dog put on some clothes after shaving.

2. Pay attention to hygiene and disinfection at home

Because the protection of the hair is lost, dogs are easily infected with bacteria after shaving. Therefore, owners must pay attention to hygiene and disinfection at home, especially the environment where dogs live, which must be kept dry and clean.

3. Pay attention to the dog’s emotional changes

In the few days after the dog is shaved, it will be very uncomfortable and become depressed. At this time, the owner should interact more with the dog, hug it more, and play with it more to make the dog active.

4. Be careful not to laugh at dogs

Dogs also have their own emotions. Dogs usually cannot accept their own appearance after shaving and become depressed. At this time, the owner must be careful not to laugh at the dog, and not to bring the dog to meet other dogs, otherwise it will hurt the dog's self-esteem. This is also the most important thing.
