A Fall Health Checklist For Your Dog

Fall isn’t just for pumpkins and cozy walks. It’s also a great time to check in on your dog’s health. As the weather cools and routines shift, preventive care helps keep them feeling their best.

An annual exam covers more than vaccines. It can flag early dental issues, catch changes in weight, and give your vet a baseline for what’s ā€œnormalā€ in your pup. Since dogs age faster than we do, a year can bring more changes than you might expect.

At home, tools like smart collars can add another layer of care. By tracking activity and even sleep patterns, they help spot shifts you might not notice day to day. Pairing tech with a seasonal checkup keeps your dog ready for every fall adventure, whether that’s chasing leaves or curling up by the fire.

Dog of the Day, Tuxedo

Meet Tuxedo, aka Tux, a 4-year-old Portuguese Water Dog who’s always got his eye on the action. In honor of National Black Dog Day, Daily Dig reader Maggie shared this sweet, smart, and swim-loving pup.

Tux knows the best seat in the house is wherever he can oversee the entire household. Curious by nature and full of personality, this handsome boy is equal parts lifeguard, watchdog, and best friend. He’s also a proud Yankees and Ohio State fan.

Got a pup with a big personality? Send in their name, a picture, and a short description. We’d love to feature them in an upcoming Dog of the Day!

The Perfect Lazy Dog Day

Not every dog dreams of long hikes or endless games of fetch. Some are happiest with a comfy spot, a few good snacks, and you nearby. Planning a day around your dog’s love for lounging can be just as fun as an adventure.

Start with cozy spaces. A supportive bed or blanket fort gives your pup the perfect nap station, and rotating between a few spots keeps things interesting. Mental toys like food puzzles or lick mats can add enrichment without requiring a burst of energy.

And don’t underestimate the value of joining in. Curl up beside them, share quiet time, and make treats part of the experience. Sometimes the best way to connect with your dog is simply slowing down together.
