Dog's Skin in the Fall
Dogs Skin in Fall
As the fall season rolls in, a dog’s skin and hair care needs change, requiring special attention to keep them comfortable and healthy. The cooler, drier air can affect your dog’s skin, leading to dryness and itchiness. To combat this, regular moisturizing is key. Using a dog-specific conditioner or moisturizer during baths can help maintain skin hydration. If your dog’s skin becomes particularly dry, consider adding omega-3 fatty acids to their diet, as these can promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.
Why simple itching can produce major health problems for your dog.
We will examine basics of what causes itching, what secondary symptoms you can look for, several non-obvious causes of itching that are often overlooked and what can be done to manage this very common problem for pet owners.
One important challenge for pet owners is to understand that itching itself is not the problem. It is the resultant scratching that the animal undertakes that is the issue. This intermittent scratching and licking may result in hair loss, scaling, odor and fluid discharge. Chronic scratching can result in infection and wounds which then may result in serious conditions to your pet’s overall health.
Effective Skin and Coat Care
Grooming routines also need to adapt to the seasonal change. Fall is often a time of increased shedding as dogs shed their lighter summer coat to prepare for the thicker winter fur. Brushing your dog more frequently during this time helps manage loose hair and reduces the risk of matting, which can lead to skin irritation. For dogs with longer fur, regular trims might be necessary to prevent their hair from getting tangled or collecting debris from the outside.
Bathing should be done with care, as over-bathing can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to further dryness. Using a gentle, moisturizing shampoo designed for dogs is best during this season. However, make sure your dog is completely dry after baths, as the cooler weather can make them more susceptible to chills.
Signs to Watch...

Additionally, watch out for external parasites like fleas and ticks, which can still be active in the fall. Regular checks and preventive treatments are essential to keep your dog’s skin healthy and free from infestations.
Lastly, if you notice any signs of skin irritation, such as redness, flakiness, or excessive scratching, consult your veterinarian. They can recommend specific treatments such as Lofty Pet Products tailored to your dog’s needs. With proper care, your dog’s skin and coat can remain healthy and resilient throughout the fall season, ensuring they stay comfortable and happy.
