As the crisp air and golden leaves of fall arrive, it's important to keep your dog safe during this cozy season. Here are five quick safety tips to ensure your pup enjoys autumn to the fullest!
Watch for Toxic Plants and Mushrooms
1.Fall is mushroom season, and many varieties are toxic to dogs. Keep an eye on your dog while hiking or playing outdoors to avoid accidental ingestion of harmful plants and fungi.
2. Be Mindful of Cool Weather
Cooler temperatures are refreshing, but sudden drops can be hard on dogs, especially smaller breeds or those with short fur. Consider a dog sweater or jacket to keep them warm during chilly walks
3.Rake with Caution
Piles of leaves may be fun for dogs to jump into, but they can hide dangers like sharp sticks, insects, or mold. Supervise your pup during outdoor play, and be cautious around leaf piles.
4.Hydrate and Maintain a Balanced Diet
As activity levels change with the season, adjust your dog’s diet to match their energy needs, and always provide fresh water. Proper hydration is essential even in cooler weather.
5.Check for Fleas and Ticks
Ticks are still active in the fall. Continue your dog’s flea and tick prevention routine to protect them from parasites during outdoor adventures.
By following these simple tips, you can keep your dog healthy, safe, and ready to enjoy all the best that fall has to offer! 🍂🐕🍁
