Fall is such a cozy time of year. The cooler weather, falling leaves, and pumpkin-filled everything can be fun for us, but it’s also a season where our pets need a little extra care. Whether you’re a dog lover, cat parent, or have small pets, here are a few tips to keep in mind this autumn. ⸻ 

 Watch Out for Fall Hazards • Fallen leaves may look pretty, but piles can hide ticks, mold, and other pests. Try to keep your pet from rolling in them too much. • Cold mornings and nights can be a shock for pets that are used to summer heat. Keep outdoor time shorter for smaller or older animals. • Seasonal foods like pumpkin pie, chocolate, or grapes are toxic to pets. Stick to pet-safe treats. ⸻ 

 Cozy Comforts for Pets • As the weather cools, pets may enjoy warmer bedding or blankets. • Dogs with short coats may need a sweater for chilly walks. • Cats love sunny windows more than ever in fall—make sure they have a cozy perch. ⸻ 

 Fall Activities With Your Pet • Take your dog on a leaf-crunching walk—good for both exercise and bonding. • Snap some autumn photos of your pet for social media. • Try pumpkin treats made for pets—they’re tasty and good for digestion. ⸻
