Fall is officially here, and as you enjoy this wonderful time of year in New England, don't forget to include your furry family members! If they can't tag along with you, don't worry—below are some ways to ensure your fur baby enjoys the season!

Make Some Fall Treats

Nothing says fall like pumpkin carving, baking (and eating!) yummy treats, and apple picking. Luckily, there are some ways to transform your fall favorites into a dog-safe treat. Apples, roasted pumpkin, and pumpkin puree are all great treats for dogs—just make sure all seeds and skin are removed, and that they’re served plain! You can make homemade dog treats, apple chips, add a dollop of pumpkin puree to their food, or even give them some cubed roasted pumpkin as a food topper. There are so many ways for your pup to enjoy the classic fall treats!

Enjoy the Outdoors

Fall is the perfect time to embrace the outdoors, and Connecticut has no shortage of beautiful sites to explore. However, as fall goes on, we get less daylight—before you know it, the sun will be setting as you get home from work. So, it's important to take advantage of the beautiful weather with your pup while you can!

To make sure your pup makes the most out of the good weather before winter comes, consider enrolling them in our daycare. We have large, fenced-in outdoor play yards fitted with K9Grass™, ensuring your dog can romp around safely without the risk of ticks, rocks, or any other hazards. We also have our Hike for Paws program, which is a trainer-led, private nature hike on one of Fairfield County’s many beautiful hiking trails!

Dog Daycare with Seasonal Events

Some events and spaces don't allow dogs, which leaves pup parents with a tough choice: miss the event, or leave their dog home alone (and worry the whole time). With our daycare and boarding options at Room for Paws, you can attend your event worry-free! Our facility is designed to give your dog a balanced experience with plenty of human attention, time to play with other dogs, and time to rest—all in a safe, climate-controlled environment. We have no shortage of fun events and goodies for your pup to enjoy, such as:

  • Bubble Parties
  • Puppuccinos
  • Dogtober Fest (complete with organic bone broth "beer")
  • Surprise Seasonal Events
  • Halloween Party with Costume Contest (and prizes!)

So, whether you're enjoying fall in Connecticut or taking a weekend trip to New York to attend Bear Mountain Oktoberfest and explore the historic town of Sleepy Hollow, you can rest easy knowing that your dog is having their very own fun-filled day! And if you want to keep up-to-date on when our fall festivities will be happening, or just want to see pictures of cute pups in their costumes, follow our Instagram!
