The Weather Is Changing & So Is Your Dog’s Body
As we move into the colder months, the world around us shifts and your dog’s internal balance shifts with it. The transition into chilly, damp and unpredictable weather brings subtle changes that often go unnoticed at first, but your dog feels them long before you realise.
Just like humans, dogs are sensitive to their environment. Their bodies respond to:
-
Sudden drops in temperature that put extra pressure on their skin and joints
-
Dry indoor heating that pulls moisture from their coat
-
Dampness and higher outdoor humidity that can irritate the skin
-
Mould, leaf debris and environmental allergens that appear in autumn and winter
-
Reduced daylight that influences their mood and natural rhythms
-
A decrease in daily movement as walks shorten or become less frequent
Each small change on its own seems harmless, but together they create a noticeable shift in how your dog feels. One of the earliest and most common signs is increased itchiness and skin irritation.
These changes do not stop at the skin. Seasonal changes also influence your dog’s immune function, digestion, inflammation levels, energy, mood and even their recovery after exercise.
When the seasons change, your dog’s daily nutritional and wellbeing needs change with them, and supporting those needs early makes all the difference.
Why Dogs Get Itchy During Seasonal Shifts
As temperatures begin to fall and the air grows noticeably drier, your dog’s skin can start losing moisture much faster than usual. This dryness alone can make their skin feel tight and uncomfortable, but it’s only part of the story.
Seasonal changes bring a surge of new irritants, from damp, decaying leaves and rising mould spores to the extra dust that comes with spending more time indoors. Put all of this together and you’ve got the perfect recipe for itchiness and irritation.
Beyond dry skin, many dogs experience a subtle shift in how their bodies function during colder months. It’s common to see:
-
A dip in their natural immunity as their system works harder to adapt
-
Slower digestion due to reduced outdoor activity and movement
-
Increased inflammation throughout the body
-
Higher stress levels caused by changes in daily routine
-
Lower energy and longer recovery times after exercise
This is why itching often shows up first but it’s rarely the whole picture. What you’re really seeing is your dog’s internal systems being challenged in several different ways at once. Seasonal changes demand a lot from their bodies, inside and out.
