It's Fall in Houston: Pet Care Tips:Essential Wellness for Dogs and Cats
Fall Means Essential Wellness for Dogs and Cats
As the seasons change, so do your pet’s grooming and wellness needs. At Heights Grooming, we believe in Essential Wellness—a proactive approach to keeping your pets healthy, comfortable, and looking their best all year long.
Fall is a season of cozy walks, cooler weather, and fresh starts. Here’s what every pet parent should know this time of year:
1. Shed Happens — Prepare for the Coat Change
Even short-haired pets experience seasonal shedding in the fall as their coats adjust to cooler weather. Regular grooming removes dead hair, reduces matting, and keeps your home cleaner. A professional brush-out or de-shedding treatment helps your pet’s coat stay soft and healthy.
Cat parents, this applies to you, too! Our grooming team now includes professional cat groomers, so your beloved feline family members can enjoy the same care and comfort as your pups.
2. Skin and Coat Care for the Cooler Months
As humidity drops, pets can experience dry, itchy skin. Gentle moisturizing shampoos, conditioner rinses, and nourishing paw treatments help keep skin balanced and coats shiny.
Ask us about our Blueberry Facial or paw balm treatments, perfect for keeping your pet fresh and hydrated through the dry fall air.
3. Fall Allergies Are Real
Many pets experience seasonal allergies to pollen, mold, or ragweed. Regular grooming removes allergens from the coat and skin, helping to reduce itchiness and irritation. If your pet is licking or scratching more than usual, let us know, we’ll tailor their grooming service to support relief and comfort.
4. Keep Up the Schedule
Fall routines can get busy, but consistent grooming is key to maintaining your pet’s wellness. Regular visits allow us to monitor your pet’s coat, skin, nails, and overall condition—small issues can be caught early, keeping your pet feeling their best.
5. Safety and Comfort on Cooler Days
Longer coats might mean more comfort outside, but don’t forget about paw care! Cooler weather brings wet leaves and debris that can mat fur between the toes. A professional trim and cleaning will prevent irritation and slipping.
For Cat Families: We Heard You!
Heights Grooming is now proudly offering professional cat grooming services again. From de-shedding and trims to nail care and hygiene maintenance, we’re here to make your feline’s grooming experience calm, safe, and beneficial for their health.
