Seasonal Grooming Guide: How Weather Affects Your Pet’s Skin & Coat 🍃❄️☀️🍂🐾

Your pet’s grooming needs change with the weather—just like ours. From dry winter air to summer heat and spring allergies, each season brings new challenges for skin and coat health. At UrbanTails, we help pets stay comfortable and stylish all year long. 💜

1. Spring: Allergy Season for Sensitive Skin 🌼🤧

Spring introduces pollen, dust, and environmental irritants. Common issues:

• itchy skin
• paw licking
• shedding boost
• watery eyes

Spring grooming tips:

• wipe paws after walks
• use hypoallergenic shampoo
• increase brushing during shedding weeks

2. Summer: Heat + Humidity Challenges ☀️🔥

Summer causes overheating, paw burns, and moisture buildup.

• trim fur (but don’t shave double coats!)
• use cooling mats & portable water bottles
• wash feet after walks due to hot pavement
• dry thoroughly after baths to prevent fungal issues

3. Fall: Shedding Season Returns 🍂🐾

Fall triggers coat transition for winter. This is one of the heaviest shedding periods of the year.

Fall grooming tips:

• use de-shedding tools 3–4x/week
• omega supplements to strengthen new coat
• regular vacuuming + lint rollers at home

4. Winter: Dry Air = Dry Skin ❄️🧴

Cold temperatures and indoor heating pull moisture from skin and coat.

• apply moisturizing paw balms
• switch to hydrating shampoos
• use humidifiers to improve coat moisture
• protect paws from salt and ice with boots or wax

5. Consistent Grooming Makes Every Season Easier ✨🪮

Year-round habits help maintain skin balance:

• regular brushing
• routine baths with gentle products
• balanced nutrition (omega oils!)
• hydration for skin elasticity
