This process is perfectly natural, but if you\u2019re tired of cleaning up clumps of fur, you\u2019re not alone. In this guide to seasonal grooming for pets, our team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbahvet.com\/\">Sunrise Boulevard Animal Hospital<\/a> shares some of our favorite autumn pet care tips for keeping pets\u2014and their people\u2014comfy and confident this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brushing Up on Seasonal Grooming for Pets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats and dogs are always shedding fur to some extent, but when fall rolls around, the reduced amount of sunlight triggers a chain reaction in the hormone levels that control fur growth, eventually causing a seasonal shed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try these fall grooming tips for pets to keep the flying fur to a minimum while boosting your pet\u2019s well-being:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practice Daily Grooming.<\/strong> Among fall pet maintenance tips, daily grooming is the best way to keep loose fur in check. Brushing your pet\u2019s fur also prevents uncomfortable mats from forming and distributes natural oils that give your pet a glossy, healthy coat. Daily grooming is also a wonderful way to strengthen the bond you share with your pet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Take the Plunge. <\/strong>Bathing your pet more frequently may become necessary to loosen and remove the shedding fur, plus, baths have the added benefit of removing fall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbahvet.com\/blog\/pet-allergies-spring-is-in-the-air-and-so-is-pollen\/\">allergens<\/a> like pollen and dust mites that are trapped in your pet\u2019s fur. Use a gentle shampoo made just for pets, or pamper your pet (and spare yourself the mess!) with visits to a professional groomer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Forget Skincare.<\/strong> Cooler, drier air leads to dry, itchy skin. Ask us about nutritional supplements like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbahvet.com\/blog\/navigating-the-maze-a-comprehensive-guide-to-pet-nutrition\/\">Omega-3 fatty acids<\/a> that can help promote healthier skin and coats. Cool-mist humidifiers placed near your pet\u2019s favorite resting spot can also add much-needed moisture to your pet\u2019s environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Treat Your Pet to an At-Home Mani-Pedi.<\/strong> Paw pads and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbahvet.com\/blog\/trim-and-tidy-the-importance-of-regular-nail-care-for-your-pet\/\">toenails<\/a> need extra attention as the winter chill sets in. Colder temps make paw pads more prone to cracking, and when pets become less active or spend more time indoors, their toenails can become overgrown. Use paw balm or booties for trips outdoors, and trim your pet\u2019s toenails regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedule a Comprehensive Checkup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to routine grooming at home, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbahvet.com\/services\/wellness-preventive-care.html\">a thorough examination<\/a> will give you peace of mind that your pet is prepared for the colder days ahead. We\u2019ll make sure your pet is up to date on vaccines and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbahvet.com\/blog\/year-round-parasite-prevention-stops-fleas-and-ticks\/\">flea and tick prevention<\/a>\u2014which should be administered year-round to keep your pets pest-free. We can also gauge the condition of your pet\u2019s coat and skin and offer additional autumn pet care tips if needed.
