8 fun activities to do with your dog this fall

Are you looking for fun activities to do with your dog this fall? Today, we're sharing eight fun activities you can add to your bucket list to make this autumn season more memorable!

1. Fall Themed Photoshoot

The crisp, falling leaves, the sun's angle in the sky, and the delightful autumn colors make a beautiful photo backdrop. Planning your shoot for early morning or the evening golden hour will help you get the lighting "just right." Use props like pumpkins, baskets, and leaf piles. And remember to have fun! Sometimes, the candid shots are the best ones. Let your pet tumble and play, then step back and capture the action.

2. Go Apple Picking

Apple picking days in the orchard are a fall highlight. Most orchards are pet-friendly; your dog will love exploring beside you as you harvest. Crunching leaves, falling apples, and excited voices will all make one great adventure for your pet. After you get home, consider baking some pet-friendly apple treats. Apples are safe for dogs in moderation, and your pet would be thrilled to try an autumn apple snack!

3. Fall Home Makeover

Adding fresh decor and giving existing things a makeover is fun as seasons change. Consider swapping out old toys for some fun, new, fall ones. Plenty of attractive items exist, from a squishable toy pumpkin spice latte to a corn squeak toy. Consider choosing a new pumpkin pillow for your pet's bed. It will be a fun change for them and add to your indoor fall decor. While housecleaning, toss your old, outdated plastic bowls to replace them with a sturdy, fall-themed, raised pet bowl.

4. Navigate A Corn Maze Together

During the fall months, many farms offer corn mazes. Find one that is pet-friendly and take your dog on a fun adventure. They'll love using their problem-solving abilities and will excitedly anticipate every twist and turn. It will help them get fresh air and exercise, which is essential to our pet's well-being and health. It will be both fun and mentally stimulating, an excellent option for pets and owners alike.

5. DIY Projects For Your Pet

Are you someone who likes to do DIY projects? Choose a creative DIY project for your pet. The options are endless. Paint a canvas of your pet while he plays at your feet, crochet a pumpkin toy for them, or head outdoors to make them a new dog dish stand. What's more fun than gifting your pet with something you made for them?

6. Go Hiking with Your Pet

Taking your pet for a scenic walk will energize both of you. This is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the variety of fall colors as trees change color. Fall offers cooler temperatures and fewer bugs, making activities in nature more enjoyable. Many state parks are dog-friendly and open for visitors and hikers. If you're ambitious, invite another pet parent and make it a doggie date!

7. Play In a Leaf Pile

Sometimes, the simple things are the best. This is an excellent activity if you want to stay home and do something low-key with your furry friend. Rake a large pile of leaves and let your pet romp through the fall foliage. Hide their favorite toys among the leaves for a fun hide-and-seek game. If you want an easy, delightful way to connect with your dog this fall season, this is a beautiful option from the comfort of your own space.

8. Order A Puppuccino

Remember to take your pet with you when you go to Starbucks for your seasonal pumpkin spice latte. Starbucks has adorable cappuccino cups that are free of charge. Specifically offered for pets, this is a fun way to include your dog in the excitement of the fall season! These cups are filled with dreamy whipped cream and are safe for your dog—unless they eat an excess amount of them, of course.

We hope this inspired you and helped you develop some enjoyable fall activities to do with your dog. Happy Fall!
