Your dog in the fall

🍁 Dogs in the fall: 6 tips for a cozy and healthy late summer

The leaves are falling, the air is getting fresher and the days are getting shorter: autumn has arrived! For many dogs (and their owners) this is a great season to go on adventures together. But it also brings new challenges, such as rain, cold and mud. In this article we give you 6 handy tips to keep your dog happy, dry and healthy during autumn.

🍂 1. Protect your dog from cold and rain

Although some dog breeds can handle the cold just fine, smaller or short-haired dogs are more susceptible to cold and wet. A dog coat or raincoat keeps your dog warm and dry during autumn walks.

🐾 2. Watch out for dirty paws and wet coats

Muddy paws are inevitable this season. Use a paw wipe or paw cleaner when you come inside. This will keep your home clean and prevent your dog from getting irritation or itching between the toes.

🌧️ 3. Make walks safe and visible

In the fall, it gets dark faster. Make sure you and your dog are clearly visible. Think of a reflective dog harness, an LED collar or a light-up key ring on the leash.

🍁 4. Look out for acorns, chestnuts and mushrooms

While sniffing, dogs can easily eat something dangerous. Acorns, chestnuts and poisonous mushrooms in particular can be harmful. So pay close attention to what your dog is sniffing or licking.

🏠 5. Make it cozy and warm inside

Autumn is the perfect season for cosy evenings indoors. Put down an extra warm basket, give a chew toy and enjoy together. Think of a soft fleece blanket, a warm dog basket or a heated cushion for older dogs.

🦴 6. Keep your dog mentally active

In bad weather your dog may go outside less. Keep him occupied indoors with brain games, sniffing mats, chew toys or hide-and-seek games with kibble. This prevents boredom and destructive behavior.
