I keep my Old English Sheepdog's coat at a medium length during summer. Short trims can help, but I always worry about her getting sunburned. These dogs have a thick double coat that protects them, so I try to balance it. I just make sure she has access to shade and water when we’re outside.

I opted for a shorter trim this summer for my Old English Sheepdog. He seems much happier and more comfortable. I assumed that fur would keep him cool, but it actually makes a difference when it’s hot. I also noticed he sheds less with a good trim.

I usually keep my Old English Sheepdog's coat longer during the summer, mainly because I love how fluffy and majestic he looks. However, I do notice he gets hot if the weather is really sweltering. Shorter trims definitely help with keeping him cooler, but you have to be cautious not to shave them too close because their coat protects them from sunburn.

I always go for a shorter trim in the summer for my Old English Sheepdog. It’s way easier to manage, and I feel like she enjoys the cooler feel. Plus, with all that fur, they can get pretty sweaty. I’ve noticed she gets more playful and active after a trim, probably because she’s not overheated!

Shorter trims work best for summer.
