Without follicle damage, a dog's shaved fur usually returns within a month (about 1–2 cm), faster for short-haired breeds and slower for long-haired ones; health, nutrition, and environment also matter.

Early Signs of Heatstroke in Dogs—and How to Prevent It
Dog heatstroke progresses through early warning signs, moderate fever, and severe shock, and the early stage is the easiest to miss—and the easiest to treat. Watch for constant open-mouth breathing with the tongue out and rapid shallow breaths, lethargy and slow responses, seeking shade and refusing to walk, thick stringy drool with a dry hot nose, and reddened, warm paw pads. Move the dog to a cool, airy spot and offer water in small amounts at the first sign; untreated, it can become critical within minutes. This article also covers which dogs are most at risk and practical prevention, from walking at dawn or dusk to never leaving a dog in a parked car.
How to Care for Your Dog in Summer
Summer heat means preventing heatstroke, but some popular 'cooling' tricks backfire. Shaving a dog's coat or bathing it too often raises the risk of skin disease—the coat actually shields skin from sun and bites. Instead, cool the indoor space, use a cooling mat, trim only the paw fur to aid heat loss, walk at dawn or dusk with water on hand, and shift to lighter meals in small portions. Keep the air flowing, set the AC no lower than 26°C, and clear leftovers before they spoil. Smart, gentle cooling helps your dog sail through the hottest months.
