From mild temperatures to beautiful scenery, there are many reasons to love fall in Nicholasville, KY. Dog owners have even more reasons to enjoy this time of year. Now that the weather has cooled and there are seasonal festivities taking place, it’s the perfect time to take your pup out for some fall-themed fun!

The dog groomers from All Creatures Inn are here to share some of their favorite autumn activities you can enjoy with your pet this season:

• Pumpkin or Apple Picking: Some pumpkin patches and apple orchards are dog-friendly. If you can find one in your area, you’ll be able to enjoy a fun-filled day with the whole family — not to mention a few priceless photo ops!
• Hiking: Look online to see if there are any local trails you and your dog could explore together. Just be sure they’re not too rocky, and bring along plenty of water for everyone.  

• Doggie Dress-Up: Do you have kids in the family who plan to go trick-or-treating? If so, consider bringing your dog along — with their own costume, of course!
• Fetch: Scorching summer days can be way too hot for your pup to enjoy a game of fetch without overheating. Now that it’s cooler, the weather is ideal for tossing around a ball in the backyard.
• Leaf Pile Jumping: If you have a home with a yard, you’ll likely find yourself having to do some leaf cleanup this time of year. The leaf pile is an important rite of passage in the puppy world — just make sure your dog is protected with a flea and tick preventative so they don’t attract any unwanted critters in the process.

After they’ve enjoyed all of these outdoor activities, your dog is bound to need some grooming. The dog groomers at All Creatures Inn offer affordable pet grooming to keep your pup’s coat tame, healthy, and less likely to pick up ticks this season.
