Seasonal pet coat care in northern Indiana
Winter salt, summer heat, and shedding season — what your pet's coat needs each season.
Winter
Road salt irritates paw pads and dries skin. Rinse paws after walks, keep the hair between the pads trimmed short so ice balls cannot form, and resist shaving double coats — that coat is insulation against cold as well as heat.
Spring
Shedding season hits hard in March and April. A de-shedding bath and blow-out removes far more undercoat than brushing alone and keeps your house noticeably cleaner.
Summer
A clean, well-brushed coat cools better than a shaved one for most breeds. Keep an eye out for fleas, ticks, and hot spots after time outdoors, and book grooms earlier in the day during heat waves.
Fall
The second shed of the year arrives with the cooler weather. This is the ideal time for a thorough de-shed and a nail trim before winter, when pets walk on soft ground and wear nails down less.
