Ah, fall. The leaves are changing, the air is crisp… and your dog’s hair is everywhere. Seasonal shedding is totally normal, but it can be frustrating — especially when it feels like your vacuum is working overtime.
The good news? Fall is actually the perfect time to refresh your pup’s wellness and grooming routine. Here’s why your dog sheds more in autumn — and what you can do to keep things under control (without shaving your dog or your patience).
🌀 Why Do Dogs Shed More in the Fall?
As the days get shorter, your dog’s body picks up on the seasonal shift. That means shedding their lighter summer coat to make room for thicker winter fur. Even indoor pups feel the change — because it’s driven more by daylight than temperature.
It’s totally natural, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept fur tumbleweeds as your new décor.
🧴 Step 1: Upgrade Your Grooming Game
Shedding starts at the skin — so keeping your dog’s coat and skin healthy is key.
Try This:
Use a deshedding brush regularly to remove loose undercoat before it ends up on your couch.
Follow up with a shed-control shampoo & conditioner, like Pure + Natural's orange & coconut 3-in-1 formula. It’s packed with Omega-3s and organic oils to nourish skin and loosen dead hair naturally.
Finish with a leave-in detangling spray to reduce matting and help keep their coat smooth between baths.
🧽 Step 2: Keep Wipes on Hand (Trust Us)
Grooming wipes are your secret weapon during high-shed seasons. They’re perfect for quick cleanups after brushing, walks, or muddy park adventures — and they help remove loose hair and allergens from the coat.
PVO Pick: Our fragrance-free grooming wipes are extra gentle, biodegradable, and safe for sensitive areas like paws and faces.
🍖 Step 3: Nourish From the Inside Out
A healthy coat starts in the bowl. Add nutrient-dense, single-ingredient treats to your pup’s diet that support skin, coat, and immune health.
Some of our go-to options:
Green-lipped mussels – rich in Omega-3s and anti-inflammatory support
Sardines – packed with healthy fats, DHA, and EPA
Organ meats – full of bioavailable nutrients like zinc and B vitamins
Duck & chicken feet – natural source of collagen and joint support
Rotate treats for added variety and enrichment while supporting their body’s seasonal transition.
🌿 Step 4: Detox Gently & Naturally
Think of fall as a “reset” season. Along with grooming and nutrition, this is a great time to:
Evaluate your pet’s supplement routine
Clean or replace old bedding, brushes, and bowls
Refresh any daily rituals with calming chews, lick mats, or new enrichment toys
✨ The Shedding May Be Inevitable — But the Mess Isn’t
A little prep can go a long way in making seasonal shedding manageable. With the right tools, treats, and care, you’ll not only reduce the mess — you’ll help your pup look and feel their best all season long.
