What happens if a dog is shaved bald?

Shaving a dog bald has many bad effects. Damaging the follicles may stop local regrowth or leave sparse thin hair, hurting looks. The bare skin is exposed to ultraviolet light and sunburn, and without protection is more bitten by parasites, risking skin disease.

Without fur the dog feels as bare as a naked person, becoming insecure and sensitive, which hurts its social activity.
