My Shihtzu is 5.5 months old, apparently he has little bit of itching due to ticks or skin infection. Is it recommended if we can get him 2MM trim. As his hair is too much, we are unable to search ticks properly. Also doctor recommended for the trimming yet I wanted to have a second opinion on the same, as I have heard you shouldn’t trim untill 8 months.

Hi Mehal, anyhow trimmming in pets is recommend after 5-6 months of age. But if there’s matting/skin infection, trimming is advisable if it’s necessary for the trimming. But also consider the cold weathers and keep your pet warm post trimming.

The pup is 45 days old and has infected skin. What are the possibilities that this might have happened? And what is the solution for this? Can this be fixed?
