Does getting your dog a hair cut actually benefit it in any way.?

no they have hair for a reason. during different seasons it has different purposes and during the summer it is to keep them from getting a sun burn and during the winter it is to keep them warm. don't worry about it making them hot in the summer because the coat is thinner in the summer time. if your dog seems to be getting to hot in the summer allow him to come in during the day and keep him supplied with plenty of fresh cool watter.

If your dog has long hair such as a shih tzu, poodle, maltese, etc etc...then definatley yes. Especially if you aren't brushing their coat properly and they get matted. For dogs like goldens, labs, shepherd etc....it's good to get all the undercoat once in a while. Groomers (at least I do/did) use an HV dryer, which really helps get a lot of the dead undercoat out of their hair. I used to be a groomer, and am now a vet tech, but I still groom my dogs regularly.

It's okay to cut the hair that's infront of their eyes, but often not neccessary as breeds with this issue are farsighted and don't notice the hair. However, you should never shave your dogs hair or cut it very much in the summer. I know it seems like it would make it hotter, but the hair actually works as an insulator and regulates the body temperature. Of course, you can cut your dogs hair under it's feet, the extra hair on it's legs, in the privacy area, and any of the "extra" hair. If you're still not sure what you should cut try looking at the breed standard for your dog's breed or ask a groomer.

in the summer if you live somewhere it is hot it helps them get cooler.

It does actually benefit them because it keeps their fur tidy so it doesnt knot up. When it is very hot in the summer time and older animals are outside, maggots have a hey day with the messy furred animals which could make your pet worse off. It makes them cooler too and keeps the air circulating properly through it.
