Monitor Caloric Needs:
Some pets become more active in cooler weather and may need a slight calorie increase, while others become more sedentary as days shorten. Observe your pet’s weight and adjust food portions as needed.
Hydration Is Still Essential:
Even when it’s not hot, pets need plenty of water. Heated indoor air can be dehydrating, so keep water bowls full and clean. For dogs who don’t drink enough, try adding a splash of low-sodium broth.
Fall Treats to Avoid:
While pumpkin is safe in moderation for dogs, avoid pumpkin pie filling (it contains sugar and spices). Apples are fine when cored and sliced, but keep pets away from apple seeds and stems, which contain small amounts of cyanide.
