Enjoy Fall with Your Pet

The air is crisp and cool, and the leaves are crunchy. These pet-friendly fall activities will help you fill your bucket list.

Apple Picking

Apple orchards are the perfect place to celebrate fall! Pets are welcome in many orchards. You can bring a leashed dog to walk among the apple trees. Apples are a tasty, healthy snack for dogs, cats, and humans.

Dress up for Halloween

We wait all year for pets to dress up in Halloween costumes. Even though not all pets enjoy dressing up, those who do will surely be the stars at costume contests or trick-or-treat trips. If your pet doesn’t like to dress up as much, you can bribe them with cat or dog treats.

Take a Walk in the Woods

Going into the forest is the best way to see the fall colors. Adventuresome dogs and cats can enjoy sniffing through fallen leaves to find hidden scents while their companions gaze up at the canopy of foliage and admire the rainbow colors.

Prepare a Fall Feast

It’s the perfect opportunity to cook something delicious and warm. Our dogs love it when we give them a taste of home-cooked food.

You can make a special pumpkin-spice dog smoothie for your pet or roast vegetables with the family! Sweet potatoes, broccoli, and carrots are all loved by dogs, cats, and humans alike. Just make sure you season the human portions only after serving your pets. Find out which vegetables are safe for pets, and start cooking!

Play in Leaf Piles

It may be a bit of work to rake up the leaves, but it will make a great play area for your dog! Hide toys and treats among the leaves to create a natural snuffle pad for your pet. Of course, boisterous dogs will dive into piles of leaves and roll around until they are no longer there. Right, you were hoping to get an extra workout by raking again?

Visit a Corn Maze

Know the secret of finding your way out of a corn maze. We’re not talking about maps but rather an expert sniffer who can guide you. The added benefit is that another of your five senses will be working to guide you, and the user can enjoy the benefits of exploring using their nose.

Brave a Ghost Tour

Are you looking for an alternative way to spend time outdoors with your pet? Many outdoor walking tours allow well-behaved dogs to join them. Ghost tours are a popular activity during the spooky seasons. With spine-chilling tales, you can be scared out of your pants while you and your pet try to detect ghosts.

Hit the Pumpkin Patch

With a pet, a trip to the pumpkin field to pick out your future jack-o’-lanterns or decorative gourds for autumn is more enjoyable. The pet will enjoy frolicking in the pumpkin patch and can even snack on gourds if you plan to carve some pumpkins when you return home. The dogs can eat raw and cooked pumpkins, but the cats should be cooked until soft.

This autumn, you can decide how adventurous to be! Take your pet on a weekend getaway and tick off all fall activities. You can also keep it close to home by combining these activities with a movie marathon on the couch.
