Shedding Season: How to Manage Your Pet’s Coat in the Fall

While shedding is perfectly natural, it can be managed with the right care routine.

1. Regular Brushing is Key
   Brushing your pet several times a week is one of the most effective ways to reduce excess shedding. Not only does it remove loose fur before it ends up on your furniture, but it also distributes natural oils, keeping your pet’s skin and coat healthy. For heavy shedders, consider brushing daily during peak season.
2. Bathe with Shed-Control Products
   Bath time plays a big role in managing seasonal shedding. A gentle, shed-control shampoo and conditioner help loosen the undercoat while nourishing your pet’s skin. Follow up with a shed-control spray for added moisture and easier brushing between baths. These products are specially formulated to minimize shedding and leave your pet smelling fresh.
3. Prioritize Skin Health
   Cooler weather and indoor heating can dry out your pet’s skin, which can make shedding worse. Look for grooming products with natural oils, like omega-rich emu oil, to combat dryness and irritation. A healthy coat starts with healthy skin.
4. Don’t Forget Professional Grooming
   If your pet’s coat feels overwhelming, a professional groomer can provide a seasonal trim, deep brush-out, and advice tailored to your pet’s breed and coat type.

By making grooming part of your fall routine, you’ll not only reduce the amount of fur around your home but also ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for during this seasonal transition. A little extra effort now means more cozy, fur-free snuggles all autumn long.
