Fall is a time of change: cooler temperatures, shorter days, and, of course, many challenges for caring for our dogs. During this season, it's important to adapt your dog grooming routine to keep your pet's coat, skin, and paws healthy.

Below, we offer 5 key tips to help you care for your pet during the fall, taking advantage of our products , ideal for protecting your best friend in any season.

Regular brushing to avoid knots and tangles

With the arrival of autumn, dogs' coats become thicker in preparation for winter, making matting easier. Regular, thorough brushing is essential to keep the coat tangle-free.

• Recommended frequency : For long-haired dogs, three times a week; for short-haired dogs, once a week.
• Recommended product : Use our Eco Flash Conditioner , which facilitates detangling and provides extra hydration, plus extra shine and softness, preventing hair breakage and making brushing easier. It also comes in two fragrances: Thor and Dama .

Extra tip: If your dog plays in the park or in areas with lots of dry leaves, check and clean his coat after the walk. This will prevent leaves from getting tangled.

Baths according to the needs of the skin

Fall weather can dry out your dog's skin , which means frequent baths should be done with products that moisturize and protect.

• Bathing Frequency : Bathing every 4 to 6 weeks is ideal. Use gentle, dog-specific products .
• Recommended product : Petuxe's ​​Moisturizing Shampoo , with organic olive oil, is perfect for keeping skin hydrated and coat soft . Plus, its balanced pH makes it ideal for all coat types this season.

Extra tip: Remember to dry your dog well after bathing , especially if his coat is thick, to avoid moisture buildup that can cause irritation.

Special care of the paws

Fall brings with it moisture, mud, and wet leaves, which can affect your dog's paws. It's essential to keep them clean and well-groomed.

• Paw Cleaning : After each walk, clean your dog's paws to remove mud and dirt.
• Recommended product : Petuxe Preventative Shampoo , with tea tree oil, is ideal for keeping paws clean and preventing infections. Plus, if your dog has sensitive skin, Sensitive Skin Shampoo with aloe vera is a great option for keeping pads moisturized.

Bonus tip: Apply paw balm after each cleaning to keep paws soft and prevent cracking.

Protection against parasites

Although many people think parasites are more common in the summer, fall can also be an active season for fleas and ticks . It's crucial to continue protecting your dog.

• Prevention : Continue using flea and tick products, such as collars and oral or external deworming, throughout the fall.
• Recommended product : Our Preventative Spray , also with tea tree oil and quassia vinegar, acts as a natural shield against parasites while moisturizing the coat.

Bonus tip: Check your dog's coat after every walk in areas with tall grass or lots of leaves, and do a quick brush with Eco Flash Conditioner to make sure there are no hidden parasites.

Haircuts according to the weather

In the fall, many dogs begin to grow their coats in preparation for winter, but in some cases, a light trim can help prevent tangles and maintain cleanliness.

• Long-haired dogs : A maintenance cut will help keep the coat manageable and tangle-free.
• Recommended product : If you decide to keep your pet's coat long, Petuxe All Breed Shampoo Particles are perfect for all types of coats, providing extra cleanliness, shine and strength to your pet's coat, and a long-lasting fragrance that neutralizes bad odors.
