It is recognised that there can be a variety of skin and hair coat care problems that may occur after a complete shave down of a dog, particularly the double coated dogs or those often referred to as the fur bearing rather than hair bearing dogs.  

​

Those problems/conditions that may occur following a shave down include, but are not limited to:

• Loss of hair growth

• “Coat Funk” – the coat not growing back in the same texture and or colour prior to shaving

• Bald patches

• Hyper pigmentation of the skin - Darkening of the skin where the coat has not grown back

• Sunburn

• Loss of Guard Coat – Top Layer of Coat

• Coat re-growth in different direction (cowlick’s)

• Clipper burn
