This may be something you consider a year-round staple, but when it comes to shorter periods of daylight and the fall equinox, having a reflective harness is a must when adventuring with your dog. Walk or hike at ease knowing that you can see your companion and others can too.

Quit cutting walks and hikes short because your dog is thirsty. With these portable water bowls, feel confident about keeping your dog hydrated while enjoying your time together. These products are compact and fit nicely into a handbag while heading out the door, without the bulk and mess of heading to a faucet with a large water bowl and attempting not to spill a lick on the floor.

Paw care is extremely important. Whether it be rough terrain, thorns, or rocks — painful materials can definitely cause your canine some discomfort. Protecting your dog’s paws with dog shoes will allow for safe autumn adventures so you can jump in the leaves without fear or run through the mud without a trip to the groomer’s immediately after.

While not every dog needs a jacket, many dogs benefit from one in colder weather. Small dogs, short-haired dogs, lean-bodied dogs, and senior dogs should be protected from the cold. A waterproof coat is also a nice product to have if you plan on going anywhere in the rain. For fall adventures, it’ll help extend time outside and keep your dog warm. Jackets can help to prevent fur from becoming matted.

After a morning walk in the fall air, let your dog relax on a cozy and comfortable dog bed. They’ll relax and sleep better if they have a warm bed they love. Enjoy a cup of hot apple cider while you curl up next to them for a quick nap.

Stay outside longer, open the windows, and feel the cool breeze. Your dog may prefer a heated, warm area to relax and a fluffy blanket can be just the right type of comfort. If they get wet from a walk or after a bath, a soft blanket can keep them at just the temperature they prefer.

Celebrate the true wardrobe symbol of fall with your companion. Throw on a fuzzy sweater before heading out for a walk or for a quick adventure to your local farmer's market. Great for a rainy morning or a quick family photo to prepare for the holidays.

Fall is the perfect time for long nature walks and is also a great time to refresh your worn-out summer leash. A durable or reflective leash can be a great option for autumn hikes. Give your dog plenty of slack and work together on heeling all at the same time. A long, durable, and effective leash can last for years when appropriately selected!

Take your coat off, curl-up-in-a-ball, and snuggle your canine on a small, pet-safe heating pad. A small warming pad just for your dog can give off just the right amount of heat, especially if you like to keep the windows open or go camping. After you’ve spent the morning at the park or out on a nature hike, head on inside and let your dog warm up on a heated bed.

Whether you're transporting your dog in the car or preparing for an outdoor camping trip, keep your dog safe with a pet carrier. Some features include wearable or padded, but your four-legged friend will thank you for adding one of these splurges to your list.

With the change of season comes more potential mess with your pooch. Don’t let the fear of a messy car with muddy paw prints cut your trips short. Instead, browse some of these top-of-the-line seat covers for your own car. Your dog can hop in the car and you can enjoy your time together!

Now that the unbearable and dangerous heat is behind us, let your dog enjoy their backyard or own space in your home with their very own dog house. You’re sure to catch them sunbathing in the fall foliage curled up inside their own humble abode.
