9 Fun Fall Activities to Do with Your Dog

Fall in Canada is beautiful, the leaves start changing colours, the air is cooler, and it’s harvest season, thus, leaving plenty of fun fall activities to do with your dog. Here is a list of a few activities to do this fall with your dog:

1) Apple Picking with Your Dog

You may have gone apple picking in the past with your family or friends. Did you know that you can also bring your dog along? Here is a list of local orchards that are dog-friendly. Please note that many of these farms require your dog to be on a leash.

2) Hiking with Your Dog

Hiking in the fall is great! The temperature is ideal for you and your dog since the air isn’t too hot, so you or your dog won’t get dehydrated. Of course, the views can be breathtaking with the leaves changing colors. We recommend you explore trails in the mountains with scenic viewing points to get the most out of the fall foliage.

3) Visiting a Pumpkin Patch

Get your dog’s opinion on which pumpkins to get for Halloween at a pumpkin patch. Just like orchards, ensure that your dog is allowed at the pumpkin patch and is also on a leash. If you’re using the pumpkin for cooking, consider leaving some aside for your dog. Read the health benefits of pumpkin for your dog here.
