As a general rule, we do not shave double-coated breeds—including Huskies, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, Spitzes and similar breeds—unless there is a genuine medical reason advised by a veterinarian.
A double coat acts as natural insulation, helping regulate body temperature throughout the year while protecting the skin from the sun. Shaving or creating fashionable "teddy bear" trims may permanently alter the coat's texture, affect its natural protective function and, in some cases, prevent it from growing back correctly.
Instead, we recommend professional deshedding and regular coat maintenance to keep these breeds healthy, comfortable and looking their best.
Thank you for trusting our recommendation and allowing us to care for your dog's coat in the healthiest way possible.
