How to Groom Me for Fall: A Pup's Perspective

Sep 22, 2024

Hey, humans! It’s me, your furry best friend, and I’m here to let you in on how to keep my coat looking fabulous this fall. Trust me, I know what’s up when it comes to grooming—after all, I’m the one with all the floof! Let’s dive into what you need to do to help me stay cozy, shiny, and mat-free as the leaves start falling.

  1. Brush, Brush, Brush!

You know I love a good cuddle, but brushing is a whole different level of love. Fall is when my coat starts shifting gears—especially if I’ve got a double coat! That means more fur flying around the house if you don’t help me out with regular brushing.

  • Pro Pup Tip: Grab that slicker brush or my fave detangling brush like the Brodie Brush and work through my fur a few times a week. It keeps me comfy and stops those nasty mats from forming.
  1. Keep My Coat Hydrated

Have you noticed the air getting a little crispier? I sure have, and my coat can feel it too! The cool, dry air can leave my skin feeling flaky if we’re not careful.

  • Pro Pup Tip: Give me a spritz of Floof Juice, the ultimate leave-in conditioner for dogs. It’ll keep my coat soft and shiny, plus it smells paw-some. Bonus points if you throw in some extra fish oils with my dinner to keep me glowing!
  1. Don’t Skip Bath Time!

I know, I know—bath time isn’t my fave, but I’ve gotta stay clean. As it gets cooler, I understand why you’d want to skip the full bath (I’m not a fan of the cold water either!). But we can still keep things fresh!

  • Pro Pup Tip: Use Floof Juice for a quick freshen-up when I get a little stinky. It’s a no-rinse shampoo, so no water is needed! Quick spray, massage it in, and towel dry—that’s it! I stay fresh without the fuss.
  1. Tackle the Mats Before They Tackle Me

Listen, sweaters and coats are cute and all, but wearing them can tangle my fur pretty quickly—especially after all that fun rolling in the leaves or romping through puddles.

  • Pro Pup Tip: After I wear my sweater (or if I’ve been running through some wet grass), give my coat a quick brush to keep things smooth. This helps avoid any matting disasters before they even start!
  1. Help Me with Those Fall Allergies

Have you noticed me scratching more? Fall can sometimes bring out the itchies—thanks to those pesky seasonal allergies. No worries though, we’ve got this.

  • Pro Pup Tip: If I’m scratching like crazy, try giving me a bath with a gentle shampoo or using Floof Juice to soothe my coat. If I’m still itchy, it might be time to chat with the vet about what’s going on.
  1. Keep Me Clean After Outdoor Adventures

Fall is all about the great outdoors, and trust me, I love it as much as you do! But all that mud and dirt? Not so fun when it clings to my fur.

  • Pro Pup Tip: After our hikes or park playdates, give me a quick wipe-down or brush to get rid of any mud and leaves that might stick around. A quick spritz of Floof Juice will make sure I stay clean and fresh without needing a full bath.

So there you have it! Follow these tips and I’ll be the happiest, fluffiest pup all fall long. Grooming is a way to show me some love, and with the right tools (hello, Floof Juice!), we’ll both enjoy the season to the fullest.

Woof, Woof! Now Let’s Go Play in Those Leaves!
