From fall fairs to pumpkin patches, fall in Connecticut is packed with no shortage of activities. And while summer is far from over, it's never a bad idea to start thinking ahead—especially when it comes to our furry friends! As we get ready for cooler weather and busier schedules, it's important to consider how these changes affect our dogs. Whether it's helping them make the most of their days or giving them their own adventure, a little preparation can go a long way in making the most of the season together!
Schedule Regular Grooming Appointments
Fall is when many dogs start to shed their summer coats for thicker winter ones, so regular grooming is essential to keep their fur and skin healthy. Additionally, regular grooming sessions mean extra eyes on your pup to spot any potential issues, such as ticks or extra-dry paws. To keep your dog well-groomed and happy without the hassle, consider adding a grooming session to their daycare or boarding stay. From trims to blueberry facials, our grooming services pamper your dog in a relaxing environment—just one of the many ways we ensure your pup enjoys their time with Room for Paws to the fullest!
Help Them Enjoy the Great Outdoors Safely
Fall is a great time to enjoy the outdoors with your dog, but it also comes with challenges. It's important to be mindful of where your pup plays, and while romping in a pile of leaves might make for a cute photo, it can increase their exposure to ticks. At Room for Paws, our three expansive, fully fenced play yards are covered with K9Grass™—a synthetic grass designed specifically for dogs—and equipped with full filtration and drainage systems. The result? A paw-safe outdoor space where your dog can have all the fun without the ticks, scat, or rocks. If you want your pup to enjoy the foliage and outdoors even more, our Hike for Paws program offers a trainer-lead, small-group nature hike on one of Connecticut's many beautiful hiking trails.
Prepare Your Pup for Changes in Routines
As the seasons shift, so do our daily schedules—and your dog might notice these changes more than you think. Adjusting to a new routine can be challenging for your pup. To help them transition smoothly, try to maintain consistency as much as possible. If your schedule is getting busier, consider enrolling your dog in our daycare! It's a great way to ensure they're getting the routine, attention, socialization, and exercise they need, while allowing you to attend events and take trips worry-free.
Tip: Enrolling your pup in daycare early on can help prepare them for overnight boarding.
