Effective Dog Care Tips To Keep in Mind For The Fall

1. Effective Dog Care Tips To Keep in Mind For The Fall A dog is a man’s best friend and your furry friend is no less. It is your life and you wish to spend every moment of your life with your dog. You love to take care of your friend; you feed, bathe and take it for walks regularly. You also do all other activities necessary to keep your furry friend in proper shape and healthy. But, it is the fall now. It is that time of the year when leaves bid farewell to their parent and embark on their final journey back to the place where it all began. This is an indication that the winter is on its heel and will arrive soon, and things will get colder. For now, the leaves have already started to change colour and have begun their fall. The days have become shorter and nights have become longer. As you try to adjust to these changes, you should ensure that your pet also embraces this change in a healthy manner. So, let us discuss the effective tips for dog grooming in Eastern Suburbs to remember and practice this fall.  Grooming and shedding Dogs start shedding their fur during this time so that they can welcome the winter fur that will coat them and protect them during the upcoming chilly days. This shedding, if left unchecked, will get scattered all over the house, making the place untidy. So, brush your dog weekly or at periodic intervals during the week, as per the shedding habits of your pet. This regular brushing will help you keep a check on the hair outgrowths, and will help you remove the shedding fur before it lands on the floor of your house.

2.  Safe dog walks The days start to become shorter during the fall and become the shortest during the peak of winter. So, limit your dog’s outdoor excursions to safe walks during the evening. It is even better to start your evening excursions early considering that the sun bows out early during fall. Put the reflective gear on your pet for them to be identifiable in the dark. While walking in the evenings, stick to the known familiar routes rather than venturing into unknown territories. Because if you don’t know what’s in store, your dog may end up hurting itself.  Handle fallen leaves differently Dried leaves, when fall on the floor, cover the ground below, hiding insects, bugs, moths, sharp objects such as sharp stones or rocks and other objects that you want the dog to stay away from. So, be cautious while your dog is playing around with fallen dried leaves, as it may end up hurting itself from the sharp rocks or get bitten by insects. Be aware to notice any trouble, especially after your dog has enjoyed a hearty play at the fallen foliage.  Get active and outgoing Fall is the best time to start going out on long walks and visiting dog gardens for some walking or running exercise. This will give your pet a much-needed respite from the laziness and idleness. This is the best time to go out and experience the surroundings, as the weather is pleasant compared to the unforgiving summers, and it’s the best time to do some physical activities before the onslaught of winter. It is important to make your dog exercise regularly to prevent any injuries later. Long walks will keep your pet’s vital muscles in excellent condition.  Allergic awareness Dogs are susceptible to allergies. The more they play with the grass and leaves, the more they will feel itchy about themselves. We cannot stop them from playing out, in the open. However, we can ease their allergic symptoms while cutting the grass short and regularly collecting and stacking the fallen dried leaves at a separate location. This way, their body will have less contact with insects, moths, and allergens, resulting in fewer allergies. It is important to allow your dog to spend considerable time outdoors, with nature. Nevertheless, it is also important to be aware of its playing surroundings and be mindful of its body language to detect any signs of unusual activity. This will help you
