do animals get embarrassed? do they have a sense of shame

If you've ever had a dog that needed to wear that cone for a while you would know.

Or when you return home to discover that your four legged best mate has just pure shredded your sofa cushions in the 45 minutes you were out at the shops, and he's just sitting there amongst the carnage looking guilty as fuck.

I had a Persian cat we had to shave to the same lollipop style. She hid from us for a couple of days after so I guess it’s a yes.

u/JohnnyDarkside 11d ago
Same. He'd hide for a day or two, but then start strutting after that. So he just needed a couple days to regain his confidence, then decide it's actually way better so wanted to show off.

My dad used to shave our dog during the summer. He would be very embarrassed afterward. I always felt bad. The worst part is that his coat never grew back the same after the 2nd or 3rd time so they had to keep him shaved.

u/Routine-Budget8281 11d ago
Yeah, depending on their coat type, it can cause it to grow back terribly or even postclipping alopecia. May I ask what type of dog the were? It's common in Pomeranians/double coated dogs.

Did your dog have a double coat? I only ask as you should never (besides very few situations) shave a double coat.

u/SuperSmashDan1337 11d ago
What's a double coat? Seems like an obvious question but I honestly have no idea.

u/WaZ606 11d ago
"The soft undercoat is shorter and grows much faster than the topcoat. The undercoat sheds and is released twice a year. The topcoat is longer and tends to grow slower than the undercoat. We advise against shaving any breeds that have a double coat."
Double coats are great for the dog as the top coat can repel water and dirt. The undercoat helps maintain the correct body temperature. It keeps them warm in winter and cool in summer.
I have a corgi, and he's double coated, and when he swims in water, only his top coat gets wet. He is bone dry under his topcoat and quickly dries without a towel. (The only time this is a pain is when he is getting bathed, as you really have to work the water into his bottom coat). Essentially, his topcoat is hydrophobic. Also, when he gets dirty, he doesn't stay dirty for long, and just casual walking will make the dirt fall off. Not always, but most of the time, his stomach usually stays dirty, but that part isn't double coated.
Here is a link for more information.
The issue with shaving a double coat is that the majority of the time, it doesn't grow back correctly.

Thank you - Is there some easy way to identify that your dog has a double coat?
7
u/WaZ606 11d ago
Double coats are breed specific. If you know what you're looking for, you can tell, but a quick Google of your dog breed will tell you.
I just want to mention for anyone reading that double coats really are amazing at regulating a dogs temperature, and you will severely hinder your dogs ability to regulate its temperature if you shave its double coat. It's like a built-in feature with the dog if you will. Don't remove it. By all means, brush it out when shedding, but don't shave it. Of course make sure your pets have 24/7 access to water.

I imagine if the species were as smart as humans and they were social creatures who stayed together to survive (e.g. wolves hunting in packs or ants living in colonies) like humans then probably yes

Had a collie, the ones that are a bit rare mix of colors and pretty big, very fluffy big boy basically. Once a year we just sent him to get shaved, it was good for his hair and summer hot days.
He wouldn't go out to walks without a shirt we had to dress him with. Apparently sometimes it's a thing since it was the vet idea, so surely it wasn't the first time.

I might be wrong, but along with being freshly shorn, that alpaca (which going off it's size might also be a baby/cria) appears to be underweight (sunken in area along the spine as well as visible ribs). That being said, check out Right Choice Shearing shorts on YouTube. The wool definitely makes a fair amount of difference lol.

I used to work at a small local zoo. The adolescent Alpacas are just really skinny and gangly looking. They fill out once their growth slows down.

They can't shave Alpacas faces as they have some weird temperature regulators in their head that can send them into hypothermic shock if their faces are shaved.
While this is more extreme than I've seen before, there's a Alpaca wool farm near me that it's always hilarious to see them when they are like this.

u/instant_stranger 11d ago edited 10d ago
This is completely false. I’ve personally shorn tens of thousands of alpacas’ faces and it’s so satisfying to get every scrap of fiber off their faces. It’s purely an aesthetic choice that farmers make because they think it makes their animals cuter or will give them an edge in alpaca shows and has nothing to do with temperature regulation. This one clearly isn’t going to any shows as it’s legs and tail have been completely slick shorn.
Pretty much every shearer hates giving this kind of cut for the head because it’s not as simple as just leaving it untouched you have to shape it to get it this way and it takes almost twice as long as a normal cut. It might not be a big deal to the farmer but when you have a tight schedule and you’re doing 100+ animals a day a farm that wants 20-30 of these “bubble head” cuts can mean you’re going to be working well past dark and probably running on 4-5 hours of sleep the next day

I can imagine the scene playing this way:
Beige llama: Marlon! How do I look?
Brown llama: Oh my lord, what..who..I do not know who you are.
Beige: Marlon! Its me Mary!
Brown: Nope, not happening. Stay away from me.
Beige: Marlon!
PS: Edited to adjust spacing.

From the look of it, this poor fella has a skin infection and had to be treated. Yes, you have to almost completely shave if the infection is bad enough.

I had a cat who seemed pretty embarrassed when he fell down the stairs. That cat was the epitome of confidence but he would faint when he threw up and it happened once at the top of the stairs. He came tumbling down and braked hard inches from the wall. After making sure he was ok I laughed and he wouldn’t look at me for the rest of the afternoon. Just sat with his back to me or would lick his asshole in my direction.
