When the temperature drops, your pet’s skin and coat feel it too. Winter air is harsh, and even the fluffiest fur kiddo can develop dry, brittle fur, itchy skin, or dull coats.
This blog will explain why coats struggle in winter and share ways to keep them soft, healthy, and beautiful all season. We’ll cover how winter affects skin, why nutrition matters, and simple natural support you can add to your pet’s routine.
Winter air holds very little moisture, and once we turn on the heat indoors, it gets even drier. Moving between that cold outdoor air and warm indoor air pulls natural oils from your pet’s skin, which can leave them itchy or flaky.
Cold winds outside make things worse by stripping moisture even faster, especially for pets with sensitive skin or thinner coats. With less sunlight in winter, pets also produce fewer natural oils, so their skin and coat can look drier and feel more irritated than usual.

Skin and coat health starts from the inside. When a pet isn’t getting the right nutrients, the coat is often the first place you’ll notice something is off. Dryness and irritation are all signs the skin isn’t staying hydrated or protected.
A healthy, diverse diet can help a pet’s skin and fur stay properly hydrated. Feed pets only vet-approved foods, and make sure to keep treats to only about 10% of their daily caloric needs.
Healthy fats like omega-3s help keep the skin’s moisture barrier strong, which makes the coat softer and shinier. For instance, research has suggested that supplementation with fish oil (which naturally contains omega-3s) may improve skin hydration while reducing the skin’s water loss to the environment. NHV Petomega 3 is made from anchovies, sardines, and North Atlantic cod, providing pets with an easy way to get a daily boost of omega-3 fatty acids.
Quality protein matters too. For a wholesome treat option, explore NHV’s range of single-ingredient natural treats, like NHV Salmon Jerky, a natural source of protein and omega-3s.
Winter can be tough on your pet’s skin and coat. Cold winds, dry indoor air, and less sunlight can strip away natural oils, leaving the coat dry, dull, and more prone to shedding or irritation. Supporting your pet with proper nutrition, natural fats, and gentle supplements can help keep skin hydrated and coat shiny all season long.
Here are some simple tips to help keep your pet’s skin and coat healthy during winter:
In addition to these tips, you can add natural topical products to top up hydration to the skin and fur. For example, NHV Coco Furcare has soothing and hydrating coconut oil to help with winter dryness. With herbs like lavender and lemongrass, it will also leave them smelling fresh too.
NHV’s mission has always been simple – to offer natural, safe, and effective support that helps pets feel their best. Every formula is made with carefully chosen herbs and whole-food ingredients that work gently with your pet’s body, not against it.
If you’re looking for natural ways to support healthy skin and a shiny coat this winter, explore NHV’s skin and coat support options on the NHV Natural Pet Products website. Our Pet Experts are always here to help you choose what’s right for your little one.

When the weather changes, it isn't just us that notices! Our pets feel it too! During colder fall and winter months, your furkiddo may be especially vulnerable to joint inflammation, arthritic flare-ups, bruises, cuts and paw pad injuries. As their pet pawrent, you may notice them acting a little differently, for example, if your dog or cat's joints are sore, they may have difficulty going to the bathroom normally. And in many places that deal with ice and snow in colder months, the salt on the roads may further aggravate your pet. Salt can really dry out and crack the skin on their paw pads, or worse, the salt is licked and ingested, causing salt poisoning. Signs of salt poisoning are drooling, loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. More severe cases of salt poisoning may lead to seizures, comas, and even death. We highly recommend washing your pet's paws with warm soapy water after wintery romps to prevent salt from irritating the skin. Once the paws are clean and dry, NHV Heal Care is a beneficial dog paw balm and cat paw balm for adding moisture back into the skin and creating a protective barrier against the elements. To provide internal support from the elements, Old Timer and Yucca round out the Winter Health Kit to help soothe inflammation in the muscles and joints, help revitalize energy levels and add immune support so that our furry friends are protected inside and out!
You may notice small changes in your dog or cat's behavior when they aren't feeling their best. Arthritis in cats and dogs can become more noticeable in the winter, as colder temperatures may increase joint discomfort—just like in humans.
And then the added issue of road salt in colder months may cause further stress and discomfort. As their paw parent, you will want to reduce swelling and inflammation, improve circulation and support their immune system so that they can bounce back and get outside! NHV Winter Health Kit contains Old Timer, Yucca, and Heal Care. Old Timer's blend of nutrient-rich herbs is beneficial for immune support, improving energy levels and helping the body deal with stress. Ingredients like asian ginseng have a long history of being used to improve overall vitality, energy levels and muscle strength. Yucca contains natural steroid-like properties that help alleviate inflammation and encourage healthy appetite. And St. John's wort combined with arnica in Heal Care provide a soothing cat and dog pawbalm to support the healing of bruises, cuts, inflamed paw pads, sore muscles and more.
It’s great to know that there are ways to support your little one’s health naturally! All NHV products use only the finest organic, wild-crafted ingredients and formulated by the combined efforts of a master herbalist and veterinarian with 50+ years of experience. If you have any questions about cat and dog joint supplements or need any holistic advice, an NHV pet expert is happy to help.
