Hi, my Coton has always had long hair but I’m wondering if it’s better to give him a trim because of the heatwave or leave it as it is? Thanks for your help.

Hi there,
Generally, you shouldn't shave or cut a long-haired dog's coat too short. While their fur obviously keeps them warm, it also helps to shield them from the heat and the sun!
The most important thing during a heatwave is to give them a thorough brush to remove the dead undercoat, make sure they have plenty of fresh water, avoid going for walks during the hottest part of the day, and keep their living space nice and cool.
That said, a light tidy-up at the groomer's is perfectly fine if their coat is very thick or full of mats.
Have a lovely day,
Maëlla
