I do pet grooming and I have never seen or heard of this. We do dogs
that have been clipped all of their lives and they have beautiful coats. In
fact
some of the time clipping will inprove the coat. The only things that I can
think
of the will ruin the natural coat is poor nutrition
and neglected of the hair and hide. I have clipped alot of dogs, cats and some

horses. I am curious as to where you got this information from? Was it a
personal experience or did someone tell you this?
