Break Out The Costumes And Fire Up A Scary Movie.
It turns out, your pup would like to be right by your side for it all.
We’re breaking down the 5 best ways to spend “Pawloween” and the days leading up to it with your furry friend at home.
Watch A Spooky Flick:
Who doesn’t like to cuddle up to the one they love? It turns out it can be one of your pup’s favorite activities. Due to their loving nature, while you get spooked or scared during a horror movie, your pup’s instinct is to protect and make you feel safe.
Grab the popcorn, pick a comfy spot on the couch, and get ready to scream! Your dog will make sure there is no one lurking behind you.
Pet-Friendly Pumpkin Patch:
If your pet isn’t too keen on getting dressed up for the occasion, it is always fun to get outdoors at a dog-friendly pumpkin patch. It’s a great way to celebrate the fall season and get cute pics with your fur baby for the gram! Make sure to call your local area pumpkin patch for their rules.
Carve A Pumpkin:
To take the festivities up a notch, you can decorate your pumpkins in honor of your furry friends. There are plenty of online pumpkin templates available or you can wing it. Think of the pics you’ll get.
The One Thing Pet Owners Regret Not Doing Until It’s Too Late
Is your pet safe?
1 in 3 pets will need emergency veterinary treatment each year and it is estimated a pet receives emergency care every 2.5 seconds in the U.S.
The average cost of treating a broken bone in dogs is $2,700. Cancer treatments? Up to $10,000.
It’s why so many pet owners say their biggest regret isn’t the vet bill—it’s not having pet insurance when they needed it most.
Ask yourself: “If an unexpected $5,000 vet bill hit tomorrow, could I afford it?”
If the answer is no, it’s time to get covered.
Take a look at Lemonade. They have a great app that actually works, they have an instant chatbot that is faster and, dare we say it, friendlier than most companies’ “real” customer service and a quick scroll through Reddit will uncover… people are really vibing with this brand.
So go check them out and take a look. It takes less than a minute.
Treat Yo’ Pet :
There’s no better way to teach them new tricks this fall, than with a delicious treat. It’s also important to know which fall items are healthy for your pup. While candy corn and chocolate are a NO-go for your pup, treats that have peanut butter, apple cinnamon or pumpkin can be the perfect reward.
Dress Them Up!
Name something more adorable than a pup dressed up as a cowboy or princess… we’ll wait. When it comes to picking the best costume for your pet, it’s important to keep these tips at the top of your mind.
1) Make sure the outfit fits your pup comfortably.
2) Make sure their movement isn’t restricted
3) Avoid costumes with small edible pieces that may be bad for your pup’s health.

80% of Dogs Develop Arthritis or Joint Pain by 7 Years old – Here’s How to Protect Them
Most of us train our dogs when they are puppies to jump up on furniture. We think it’s harmless (and easier than always lifting them), but for dogs, couches and beds are very high compared to the size of their bodies.
Every time they jump it compresses their back and applies enormous force to their joints.
It’s no wonder that an incredible 80% of dogs experience arthritis or joint pain by only 7 years old.
Luckily, there is a vet-recommended solution.
It’s the PawRamp by Alpha Paw. An adjustable ramp that allows dogs to safely get on and off couches and beds. PawRamp makes joining you in bed or on the couch effortless and fun.
As a bonus, you can use code SAVE35 to get $35 off the PawRamp today.
