A dog’s tail hair is an important protection and signaling mechanism. Shaving your tail may cause the following problems:
Protective: Your dog’s tail hair protects the skin on the tail from scratches and abrasions. If you shave your tail, the tail skin will be exposed and easily injured.
Maintain body temperature: Tail hair can help dogs maintain body temperature and prevent coldness.
Signal transmission: A dog’s tail hair can convey emotions and intentions. For example, when a dog is excited, its tail hair will stand up to express happiness and anticipation.
Therefore, for the health and happiness of your dog, we do not recommend shaving your tail. If pruning or grooming is required, trimming or combing can be used.
