Does shaving a dog in summer really keep him cooler?
No, a dog's fur coat acts to maintain homeostatic temperature in both cold and hot climactic conditions. Shaving for the summer actually inhibits the dog's ability to maintain a stable temperature. Keep in mind that unlike humans, dogs do not perspire through sweat glands in the skin to cool the body.
Is there anything safe you can put on the stiff stitches after spaying to keep them from sticking to the dog's skin?
Sometimes when the vet has spayed the dog they can often end the stitching (a knot) leaving a piece of the stitch too long that can dig into the dog's belly. Either you can cut off the extra or take the dog back to the vet (there should be no additional cost for this) and have them check the stitches out. Stitches don't stick to the skin, but are sewn in. The vet would have told you when to bring the dog back to have the stitches removed. If the wound looks good and the dog is irritated by the stitches (each dog, just like a human can heal quickly or slowly) perhaps it's time for the dog to have the stitches out. See your vet right away!
Why do staffies shake?
If your dog is shivering then it is either cold, scared or excited. Some dogs shake when they get over-excited so that is nothing to worry about. However, if your dog is shaking uncontrollably or having convulsions, it could have eaten poison or another toxic substance - take it to a vet immeadiately in this situation. Staffies are known for their courage so it is unlikely that your dog is scared. If your dog is cold, provide extra blankets and keep it inside!
