As the leaves start to turn and the air turns crisp in Tuckahoe, NY, it’s the perfect time to tweak your dog’s care routine to keep them cozy and healthy during the cooler months. Here are some essential fall grooming tips to help you out.
- Tackle Seasonal Shedding
Autumn may mean extra fur as some breeds will be shedding their summer coat. Regular brushing is paramount during this period to prevent matting and to keep their new, thicker winter coat clean and healthy. At Paws & Play, our team offers professional grooming that includes thorough brushing sessions to manage seasonal shedding effectively.
- Address Skin and Coat Health
Following months of fun in the sun, your dog’s skin and coat may need some recovery time. Nourishing baths help to repair sun-damaged fur and soothe dry skin. Consider conditioning to restore hydration and vitality to your pet’s coat.
- Prepare for Cooler Weather
As temperatures drop, it’s important to prepare your dog’s paws and coat for the cooler months. Paws & Play provides paw care services that include regular nail trims. This service not only helps to prevent your floors and furniture from being scratched and scuffed but also boosts your dog’s comfort and overall paw health.
- Keep Those Ears Clear
Maintaining clean ears is just as important as regular nail trims for your dog, especially if they spend a lot of time outdoors. Dirt and debris can accumulate under their nails and can easily be transferred to their ear canals during scratching, leading to potential infections. Regular cleanings at Paws & Play not only foster better hearing but are also vital for preventing infections and keeping your dog’s ears healthy.
- Adjust Your Bathing Routine
Bathing less frequently can help prevent dry skin in the fall. When baths are needed, however, pet owners should take steps to protect their dog’s skin. Paws & Play offers a selection of shampoos and conditioners that are perfect for maintaining healthy skin and fur during the colder, dryer months.
