Pumpkin Patch Safety Tips for Your Dog
- Obey all leash requirements and other pet policies at the farm; know where your dog is and isn’t allowed before you go.
- Ensure your dog is well-socialized and trained to behave properly around other people, kids and pets.
- Bring plenty of water and check the forecast—pumpkin patches don’t have much shade so you’ll want to pick a cool day and make sure your pup stays hydrated.
- Don’t let your dog eat leaves, bits of broken pumpkin or anything else they find on the ground.
- Be considerate of other farm animals. Some working farms have animals like cows, goats or chickens. Others offer pony rides or have petting zoos. Make sure your dog is well-behaved and won’t bark or try to chase the farm’s other animals.
- Bring plenty of dog poop bags and always pick up after your pup.
- If you’re going to be out after dark or around dusk, make sure you outfit your pup with a collar light or light-up collar so they will be visible too!
Make the Most of Your Pumpkin Patch Adventure
Picking the perfect pumpkin with your pup is all about creating a memorable experience and a new fall tradition. Here’s how you can make your dog’s day out even more fun for you both!
- Wear matching seasonal sweaters, outfit your pup in a cute bandana or break out their Halloween costume. Not only will they look adorable but you can also snap some top-notch autumn photos for Instagram.
- Play on-leash games or bring special treats to entertain your dog while you wander through the pumpkin patch.
- Bring a friend whose dog is your pup’s bestie and pack a picnic for everyone to enjoy at a picnic area after your pumpkin picking outing.
- Let your pooch pick out a pumpkin, too! Then find a dog-friendly pumpkin recipe, like these delightful pumpkin pie dog treats, to make when you get back home. Or, if you’re feeling artistic and are handy with the carving tools, see if you can create a jack-o’-lantern resembling your best fur friend.
