🍂 Autumn, fur everywhere and defenses on alert: how to care for your dog or cat this season

The arrival of autumn and shedding in dogs and cats

Summer is over and with it, flip-flops, umbrellas, and endless naps in the sun (well, our cats never negotiate those last ones). With autumn 🤎 come dry leaves, cozy sofa afternoons… and shedding in dogs and cats. That which turns your clothes into a natural “new glitter” and makes the vacuum cleaner work overtime.

This phenomenon is completely normal: old fur falls out to make way for a denser coat that protects against the cold. Hair loss in dogs in autumn may seem exaggerated, but it’s pure physiology. No, your dog isn’t going bald: it’s just preparing for winter.

Beyond fur: colds, viruses, and infections

The change of season doesn’t only affect the coat; fur is the most visible part of the seasonal change, but not the only one. With temperature changes and lowered defenses, our animals are more vulnerable to:

• • Colds and respiratory viruses (yes, they can “catch a cold” too).

  • Secondary infections in dogs with chronic diseases like leishmaniasis.

  • Greater vulnerability in cats with FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus).

The immune system needs an extra boost ✨ to face these changes. That’s why strengthening the immune system of dogs and cats in autumn is key for them to enjoy the season without surprises.

Practical tips to care for your furry friends in autumn

Gentle and strategic baths

A bath with the right shampoo helps remove dead fur and keep the skin healthy. Don’t overdo it: too much can alter the skin barrier.

Regular brushing

Essential to control hair loss in dogs in autumn. It also stimulates circulation in the skin and in cats prevents the formation of hairballs.

Nutrition rich in nutrients

A balanced and natural diet for dogs and cats is the first barrier against viruses and infections. Remember, we are what we eat, and seasonal fruits and vegetables are a "must" for their health.

Rest and calm routines

Stress reduces defenses. Maintain balanced walks and playtime to support your companion’s physical and mental well-being; these count as preventive medicine.
