Autumn Transition—October Dog Care Tips for a Healthy Season

Autumn Transition—October Dog Care Tips for a Healthy Season

 

Recognize Seasonal Shifts in Behavior

Cooler weather can make dogs more playful, but shorter days mean more indoor time and less sunlight. Watch for changes in appetite, sleeping patterns, or energy; some dogs may show signs of joint stiffness or prefer cozy spots as temperatures drop.

Outdoor Safety for Chilly Walks

  • Walk during daylight when it’s warmer; use reflective gear on late walks for safety.
  • Dress short-haired or small breeds in sweaters or light jackets for extra warmth.
  • Avoid piles of leaves—hidden sticks, pests, and toxic mushrooms are common autumn hazards.
  • Check for ticks after any park or trail adventure.

Joint & Skin Health

  • Cool weather can aggravate stiffness; consult your vet on joint supplements or arthritis care.
  • Hydrate skin with regular brushing and moisturizing baths to combat dry indoor heat.
  • Provide bedding that is soft, supportive, and above cold floors—our one-size real dog bed is ideal for comfort and joint wellness.

Nutrition Tips for October

  • Adjust food amounts if activity shifts up or down with colder temps.
  • Try Omega-3 fatty acids for healthy skin, coat, and joint support.
