Is Fall the Best Adventure Season? Your Dog Might Say Yes! 

The leaves are changing, the weather is cooling, and you no longer have to wake up at the break of dawn to save your dog’s paws on a hike. It’s the perfect time of year for an adventure! If you’ve been thinking about taking a long drive to a new location with your pup, find a travel kennel for dog safety and a travel water bowl because you’re thinking in the right direction. There are so many reasons to take your dog out for a bigger fall adventure than a walk around the block, and you’ll love the reasons just as much as your four-legged friend.

Lots of New Smells

Fall is full of new smells for dogs and pet parents. You might walk out the door and smell that classic October scent of dry foliage and seasonal trees, but dogs smell it all so much more than we do. At the beginning of fall, you can put your dog into a travel kennel and drive them to a hiking spot to make the most of all the new smells in the air. 

Dog Fashion

Your pup might not be as much of a fan of this reason as you are, but sometimes, your dog just needs a sweater or a raincoat. Fall is the time of year when all the fabulous dog fashions come out. If you do invest in cold-weather gear for your dog, you can put it on them after they come out of the dog kennel because it’s safer for them to be fashion-free when traveling. 

Leaf Pile Sniff-and-Seek

You love a good leaf pile just as much as your dog, but you have to let them have the first leaf pile of fall. Even if you don’t hide dog toys or treats in the leaf pile, your pup won’t be able to resist sticking their nose into the first leaf pile they see on your next adventure.

Mild Weather Conditions

Summer can mean early wakeups to take your dog on bigger adventures. You have to take care of their paws and make sure their kennel or carrier doesn’t get too hot in the car. During fall and early winter, you can take it a little easier. Travel dog carriers are comfortable and cool, helping your dog stay safe and content before and after hiking. Plus, the trails should stay cooler when the temperature is mild, even if the sun is out. 

Post-Adventure Cozy Time

After the adventure, fall sets the stage for some serious cozy time. Whether it’s a holiday movie on the couch or a cup of tea with a book by the fireplace, there’s nothing your dog will like more after a big adventure than to curl up nearby on one of their favorite dog couches.

The best reason you have to take your dog on an adventure during fall is that you want to spend time with your four-legged family member and do something that makes them happy. Still, all the above reasons will surely make you and your pup as happy as you could imagine!
