Fall Grooming Tips for Shedding Dogs with Doggy Dayspa

As the leaves change and the temperatures drop, dog owners know that fall brings more than just pumpkin spice everything—it also brings shedding season! Many dogs begin shedding their summer coats to make room for their thicker winter fur, which means a whole lot of fluff flying around your home. But don’t worry! Doggy Dayspa is here to help you manage the fur storm with some essential fall grooming tips for shedding dogs.

1. Brush, Brush, and Brush Again

Brushing is your best friend when it comes to tackling seasonal shedding. Regular brushing helps remove loose fur before it ends up on your couch, clothes, and… well, everywhere!

For short-haired dogs: A rubber curry brush or a deshedding glove works wonders to grab loose hairs and stimulate the skin.
For long-haired dogs: Use a slicker brush followed by an undercoat rake to prevent mats and remove excess fur effectively.
For double-coated breeds: Invest in a high-quality deshedding tool to target that thick undercoat without damaging the topcoat.

2. Bath Time Boost

A warm bath with the right shampoo can loosen up excess fur, making it easier to brush out afterward. Use a shed-control or oatmeal-based shampoo to keep their skin healthy and hydrated. At Doggy Dayspa, we offer specialized deshedding treatments that not only help remove loose hair but also leave your pup smelling fresh and fabulous!

3. Professional Grooming Sessions

Sometimes, a DIY approach isn’t enough—especially if your dog is shedding excessively. A professional groomer can provide a deep deshedding treatment, trim up any unruly fur, and make sure your pup’s coat is in top shape. Doggy Dayspa’s experienced groomers are pros at handling shedding season, and we have the right tools (and patience!) to make the process stress-free for both you and your furry friend.

4. Healthy Diet, Healthy Coat

A dog’s coat health starts from within! Feeding your pup a balanced diet with Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids can improve coat condition and reduce excessive shedding. Adding supplements like fish oil or coconut oil (with your vet’s approval) can also promote a shiny, healthy coat.

5. Keep Up with Regular Baths & Blowouts

Professional blowouts help remove loose undercoat hair much faster than brushing alone. Using a high-velocity dryer (like the ones we have at Doggy Dayspa!) can dramatically reduce shedding by blasting away dead fur that’s ready to come out.

6. Hydration is Key

Dry skin can lead to increased shedding, so make sure your dog is drinking plenty of water. If you notice flaky skin, try using a moisturizing spray or conditioner designed for dogs to keep their coat and skin hydrated.

7. Vacuum, Lint Rollers & Air Purifiers

Okay, this one’s not for your dog, but for YOU! Keeping up with the fur fallout is a battle, so make sure to have a trusty vacuum, lint rollers, and maybe even an air purifier to trap those airborne pet hairs before they take over your home.
