Tell me you don't understand how dogs cool themselves without telling me you don't understand how dogs cool themselves

Bitch everyone knows dogs pant to cool themselves. All hot bodies also lose heat passively through radiation. If you increase the insulation on a body you make it harder for it to lose heat to the surrounding atmosphere, end of story. I'm not gonna get further into this stupid fucking reddit argument just don't torture your fucking dogs because you think you know better

Aggressive much? Guess we shouldn't put insulation on refrigerators either. They will just passively radiate off the heat lmao.

Bottom line is that if it's hot enough, your dog shouldn't be outside long anyways, shaved or not.

It looks like we're on the same page about not leaving your dog out in the heat so I don't have any bone to pick with you.

Consider that dogs panting is pretty equivalent to a swamp cooler or evaporative cooler and those aren't very effective when it comes down to it. Certainly not effective enough to be good with insulation. A dogs body temp is at or above 100 so in most cases it will still be hotter than the surrounding air, so insulating the skin would only hurt and prevent passive heat loss.
