As the leaves start to fall and the air gets crisp, our pets start feeling the chill, too. Whether they’re curling up for longer naps or bounding through leaf piles, this time of year is all about keeping them warm, comfortable, and protected—from paw to tail.
Here’s how to help your furry friend stay cozy and happy all season long:
When temperatures dip, pets naturally seek out warm, soft spaces to rest.
Add a plush bed or extra blanket in their favorite napping spot.
Keep their bedding off cold floors to prevent stiff joints and chills.
If your pet is older or arthritic, consider a heated bed or mat for extra comfort.
Cold weather, rain, and salt on sidewalks can be tough on paws.
Try the Dirty Dog Grooming Mitt to keep paws clean and dry after outdoor adventures.
Boots help shield against cold, wet surfaces, and prevent irritation from salt or ice melt.
After walks, wipe paws dry to keep them clean and avoid cracked pads.
Some pets—especially smaller breeds, seniors, or short-haired pups—need a little extra help staying warm outdoors.
Layer up with a cozy sweater or waterproof coat to keep the chill (and drizzle) away. We love the Gold Paw Fleece for pups who need a comfy indoor layer to stay warm.
Make sure it fits snugly but comfortably, allowing for easy movement without restriction.
Did you know that certain proteins can help keep your pet naturally warmer?
In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), “warming proteins” are known to boost energy and body warmth—perfect for cooler months.
Some great examples include:
Chicken
Beef
Lamb
Venison
Trout
Turkey
You’ll find plenty of these options in our high-quality foods and treats in-store and online, so you can feed to match the season.
Whether you’re layering up, snuggling in, or stocking the pantry with warming foods, fall is the perfect time to refresh your pet’s comfort routine.
Our team will help you find the perfect sweater or coat fit so your pet can strut through fall in style and comfort. Visit your nearest store today—because a cozy pet is a happy pet.
