Should you cut your dog's hair in the winter?
Probably not in the winter. Dogs have their winter coat of fur during the winter (of course) and if you shave it off then they'll be frezzing if it gets any colder. You should probably only cut your dogs hair if it a shaggy dog or the fur is getting really nasty, but do it in the spring or summer.
if your dogs lives in the house and goes out for short periods of time it is ok to cut their hair short. their body temp is allot higher than ours so it wont make them sick to go potty in the cold. If your dogs lives most of his/her life outdoors then u dont want to shave them down when its cold.

What kind of white worm punctures dogs' skin?
It is possible that the worm is a nematode, (from the round worm family) such as the pin worm or even hook worm. larva can be transferred in many ways such as direct contact with an infected child or stepping on infected soil.The larva then mature and usually makes it's way to the digestive tract. The dog may transfer the mature worm by licking or scratching itself in "senitive areas"and the worm continues it's life cycle in the tissue of the skin instead of the colon. These worms are adjusting their environment- possibly because of more frequent deworming by pet owners, dietary patterns of their domestic host or what have you. Anyway, they can burrow themselves completely or extend partialy at will. The best protection I think is to remember the old saying, "it's the terrain not the pathogen that is of most importance's." Which means focusing on your dogs over all health, (the terrain) and then more specifically on his/her skln and coat. At that point the dogs immune system is more likely to provide an adequate defense to whatever the little white thingy (pathogen), is.
