Fall Into Pet Care: How to Help Your Pet Thrive This Season

1. Watch for Seasonal Hazards

  • Pumpkin treats — yes, but safely
    Pumpkin (plain, canned, no sugar or spices) can be a great fiber boost in small amounts. But seasonal gourds like decorative pumpkins or jack-o’-lanterns may be sprayed with chemicals, so don’t let your pet chew on them.
  • Watch for fallen leaves & hidden dangers
    Leaves hide everything from sharp sticks to moldy debris or even wildlife. When walking your pet, stay aware and check paws for plant matter or foxtails.
  • Early night time = safer walks
    With daylight savings (in many regions) ending soon, more walks happen in dusk or darkness. Use reflective collars, LED tags, or lighted leashes to help keep your pet visible.

2. Prepare for Changing Indoor Life

  • Adjust meals & activity
    Many dogs and cats slow down a bit when the weather cools. If you’re less active outdoors, reduce treats or extra calories to prevent weight gain.
  • Cozy bedding
    Switch to warmer beds or add blankets in crates or sleep areas. Some pets benefit from heated pads (especially older or joint-issue animals).
  • Pest control doesn’t stop
    Don’t forget heartworm/flea preventative — many pests persist well into fall in certain climates. Check with your vet before ending treatment early.

3. Seasonal Fun & Bonding

  • DIY fall-themed enrichment
    Put pet-safe leaves, pinecones (inside a secure container), or scents in their play area for sensory stimulation.
  • Halloween Pet Safety
    Costume safety: avoid small parts, choking hazards, or anything that restricts movement or vision.
    Candy dangers: chocolate, xylitol, and other sweets are toxic to pets — keep them well out of reach.
  • Thanksgiving & pet treats
    Safe options: plain cooked turkey (no seasoning, bones, or skin) in small amounts.
    Avoid onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, and rich gravies.
