Not really a part from cold and hot weather (coat provides some thermal insultation for both cold and hot). Make sure you or your groomer use clean tools to do it as it is not unusual to notice skin rashes and dermatitis after shaving. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.
