[Dailydrool] keeping dogs cool by shaving them

[Swartz]

We are so very sorry to hear that sweet Oscar made his journey to the 
bridge.  Please take comfort in the fact that he is now young and healthy 
once again and playing with Pelusa. May he live forever in the magic of your 
memories.

Waves of get well drool for Pw Miss Pauline, we are praying and drooling 
that you get better soon.

Drool for Santana we hope that your yucky poop is nothing major.  Anitra, 
stress can do a lot of weird things to human or hound.  It could also be 
something that he ate that upset his tummy.  It is defiantely something to 
keep an eye one.

Bev, From all that I have read and from my vet tech days...shaving the dog 
does help it to stay cooler...but it also puts it at a risk of sunburn and 
therefore melanoma. So if you shave the dog you need to put sun screen on 
them if they are going to be outside for any length of time. You also need 
to use sun screen if the dog has thin fur and any skin shows through.
