Fall Allergy Relief for Dogs: How Grooming Can Help

As the seasons change, many dogs experience the same itchy, sneezy struggles that humans do. In September, pollen levels rise, ragweed blooms, and fallen leaves create the perfect environment for allergens to spread. If your pup is scratching more than usual, licking their paws, or has red, irritated skin, they may be reacting to fall allergies.

Common Fall Allergens That Affect Dogs

  1. Ragweed Pollen – One of the biggest triggers in late summer and fall. Even short walks outside can leave pollen clinging to your dog’s fur.

  2. Mold Spores – Damp leaves and grass are breeding grounds for mold, which can cause skin irritation and respiratory issues.

  3. Dust Mites – As the weather cools, more time indoors means higher exposure to household dust.

  4. Grasses & Weeds – Playing in the yard or park can stir up allergens that stick to fur and paws.

Signs Your Dog May Have Seasonal Allergies

  • Constant scratching or biting at skin

  • Excessive licking of paws

  • Red, irritated skin or rashes

  • Ear infections or frequent head shaking

  • Watery eyes or sneezing

While allergies can look similar to other skin issues, these symptoms often flare up during high pollen months like September.

How Grooming Can Help Relieve Allergies

Regular grooming is one of the easiest ways to reduce allergens on your dog’s skin and coat. A professional bath removes pollen, mold spores, and dust that build up daily. Brushing keeps fur free from tangles where allergens can hide, and paw cleaning helps prevent tracking irritants indoors. Even something as simple as a gentle wipe-down after outdoor play can make your dog more comfortable between appointments.
