🍂🐾 Our Daily Fall Dog Routine 2025:

Cozy, Happy, and Healthy

Autumn is finally here, and our pups are loving the crisp air, colorful leaves, and extra snuggles. Here’s a peek at what a typical fall day looks like for our four-legged friends — plus a few tips to keep your dog happy, healthy, and cozy this season!

7:00 AM – Rise & Shine! ☀️🐶

Our day starts bright and early with cuddles and breakfast. In the fall, we switch to heartier meals to keep them warm through the chilly mornings.

• Tip: Add a little pumpkin or dog-friendly seasonal toppers to their food.

9:00 AM – Morning Playtime & Leaf Patrol 🍁

The leaves are falling, so it’s time for our daily adventure. The pups prance around the backyard, sniffing every pile of leaves—safely, of course!

• Paw Care: After the walk, we wipe their paws with a protective balm like Musher’s Secret Paw Wax to prevent dryness.

10:00 AM – Enrichment & Training 🧠

After exercise, we spend some time on mental stimulation. Puzzle toys, hide-and-seek treats, or training games keep them sharp and entertained.

• Favorite Toy: The Outward Hound Hide-A-Squirrel is always a hit in the fall!

12:00 PM – Lunch & Midday Rest 🛏️

Lunchtime is simple: kibble with seasonal toppers if we’re feeling fancy. After lunch, they snuggle into cozy beds for a mid-day nap.

• Tip: Invest in a comfy, warm bed like PetFusion Ultimate Dog Bed to keep your pup warm as the temperatures drop.

2:00 PM – More Playtime & Socialization 🐾

Afternoons are full of fun! Whether it’s tug-of-war, backyard exploration, or playdates, the goal is movement and socialization.

• Tip: Keep toys and treats rotated to keep things exciting and mentally stimulating.

5:00 PM – Evening Snuggles & Sunset Sniffs 🌅

A snuggle session before dinner. The fall sunsets are gorgeous, most of the time we snuggle by the campfire and it’s a great way to wind down the day.

• Keep an eye out for seasonal hazards like mushrooms or toxic plants in your yard during the fall season.

6:00 PM – Dinner & Cozy Night Routine 🍲

Dinner is served, followed by quiet time. Sometimes we do light brushing to remove loose fall hair and prevent mats.

• Affiliate Suggestion: A grooming brush like the FURminator Undercoat Tool makes shedding a breeze.

• Add a little seasonal flair like pumpkin toppers or dog-safe apple slices for fun!

8:00 PM – Snuggles & Bedtime 💤

The day ends with cuddles and snuggles by the fire (or heater!). A calm environment ensures they sleep soundly through chilly fall nights.

• Tip: Keep blankets or soft beds nearby so your pups can burrow and stay warm.
