What the Floof: Why Is My Dog Shedding Like Crazy in the Fall?

What the Floof: Why Is My Dog Shedding Like Crazy in the Fall?

Sep 15, 2025

You thought shedding season was over when summer ended. Then… BAM. Your house looks like a snow globe full of dog hair. What the floof is going on?

The truth is, dogs don’t just shed in spring. Fall shedding is a real thing — it’s how pups prepare their coats for the colder months ahead. Just like you swap linen for flannel, your dog swaps their lightweight summer coat for a thicker, cozier winter one.

Why Dogs Shed More in the Fall

  1. Seasonal Coat Change
    Shorter days signal your dog’s body to grow a winter coat. The old fur? Out it goes.

  2. Dryer Air = Dryer Skin
    When temps drop and heaters kick on, skin can get flaky, leading to more loose fur.

  3. Stress & Health Factors
    Sometimes, extra shedding can be a sign of stress, diet gaps, or skin health issues.

Can You Stop Shedding Altogether?

Sorry, floof lovers — shedding is natural, and you can’t make it disappear completely. But you can help keep it under control and make sure your dog’s coat grows in healthy, shiny, and strong.

How to Manage Fall Shedding

  • Brush More Often: Regular brushing helps catch loose fur before it hits your sofa. The Brodie Brush is your go-to for big grooming sessions, while the Brodie Mini Brush and Everydog Comb are perfect for quick touch-ups or on-the-go shedding control.

  • Bath Smarter: Gentle shampoos and conditioners keep coats soft and reduce breakage. Try the Everydog Bathtime Duo — the ultimate pair for a fresh, fluffy, and nourished coat.

  • Feed from the Inside Out: Nutrition is where the real magic happens.
