Is it alright to trim your golden retrievers coat short to help them stay cool in the summer months

Actually, believe it or not, they will be cooler if you don't. If you shave the top layer of fur, all they have is the bottom layer of fur which will not protect them from the sun. They need the top of the fur to protect them from sunburns and such. Just make sure your dog has shade and plenty of cool, fresh water.
