🍂 Fall Grooming Tips: Why Shedding Gets Weird in Autumn

The leaves aren’t the only things falling this season. If it feels like your pet is leaving fur on every surface in your home, you’re not imagining it—fall is a major shedding season for both dogs and cats. But that extra hair might be telling you more than you think.

🐾 Why Pets Shed More in Fall

As daylight hours shrink, your pet’s body starts prepping for winter—shedding lighter summer fur to make way for a thicker undercoat.
Even indoor pets are affected, especially cats and double-coated dogs.
But shedding can go from seasonal to excessive if nutrition, stress, or grooming are off.

🧴 How to Support Skin & Coat Health

• Omega-3s (EPA & DHA): These healthy fats help reduce shedding, soothe dry skin, and make coats glossier

• Regular brushing: Removes loose fur and dander before it mats or spreads

• Bathing with a gentle shampoo: Helps remove allergens and dead hair—just don’t overdo it (1x per month is plenty for most)

• Hydration + quality food: Dry air and cheap food = dry skin

🚩 When to Talk to Your Vet

A few signs point to excessive shedding that may require attention

• Bald patches or open sores

• Constant licking or chewing

• Red, flaky, or smelly skin

• Sudden increase in shedding that doesn’t match the season

Grooming Tools We Recommend

• Slicker brush for dogs with undercoats

• Rubber curry brush for short-haired cats and dogs

• Deshedding comb for heavy shedders

• Oatmeal or CBD-infused shampoo for sensitive skin

• Omega-3 supplement with EPA & DHA from fish oil or green-lipped mussel

  • Learn more about this option for dogs

🧼 Final Take

Fall grooming isn’t just about managing the mess—it’s a wellness routine.
By supporting your pet’s skin and coat now, you can prevent bigger issues later (like matting, infections, or hot spots) and help them feel comfortable as the weather changes. A few extra minutes of care each week can make a big difference.
