Fall Grooming Essentials for Your Toronto Pup
Immediate Fall Transition
As October arrives in Toronto, your dog begins shedding summer fur to grow a thicker undercoat. Daily brushing, using a de-shedding tool for double-coated breeds and grooming gloves for short-haired dogs, removes loose hair before it mats or coats your apartment.
Aim for at least three short brush sessions per week to keep shedding under control and check for any skin irritations beneath the fur. Eco-friendly grooming wipes offer quick cleanup between brushings, managing fur in condos, and preventing damp fall weather from causing matting and skin irritation.
Don't forget to trim your pup's nails; shorter nails reduce slipping on slick apartment floors and minimize damage to furniture.
Seasonal Skin & Coat Care
Lower humidity in autumn can dry out your dog's skin. A professional grooming session at Paws in the Bath paired with Earth Rated's Canadian-made, Certified B Corp 3-in-1 shampoo for at-home care delivers deep cleansing, hydration, and deodorizing in one step.
Conditioning treatments rich in oatmeal, aloe vera, and coconut oil nourish skin and support healthy undercoat development as temperatures drop.
Consider adding a weekly moisturizing spritz, made from purified water mixed with a few drops of vet-approved jojoba oil, to soothe flakiness between baths. Also, evaluate your dog's diet: Omega-3 supplements from fish oil or flaxseed can further boost skin health and coat shine.
Ongoing Maintenance
Maintain coat health through consistent, eco-conscious practices:
- At-home care:
Biodegradable wipes, natural shampoos, and sustainable tools (bamboo brushes, compostable grooming accessories) reduce environmental impact while keeping your dog fresh.
- Professional services:
Schedule Bath & Brush or de-shedding treatments with Paws in the Bath for expert care tailored to your dog's seasonal needs.
- Seasonal check-ins: Every four to six weeks, have your groomer inspect your dog's skin and coat for lumps, parasites, or persistent dryness, ensuring early intervention if needed.
This combination of daily brushing, targeted skin care, dietary support, and expert grooming ensures your pup's coat transitions smoothly from fall into winter.
