With fall arriving and pumpkin patches bursting to life, why not bring your pup along? Many U.S. farms now welcome dogs for an autumn outing full of photo ops, playtime, and plenty of wagging tails.

In the D.C.–Maryland–Virginia area, several farms allow leashed dogs to roam the patch, enjoy hayrides, and explore mazes. In Georgia, Stone Mountain Park even holds a full pumpkin festival with pet-friendly activities and live entertainment. Over in Illinois, Captain Jack’s Pumpkin Patch just outside Chicago offers seasonal dog costume contests alongside its pumpkin fields.

In Pennsylvania, Fair Haven Farms hosts “Pups in the Pumpkin Patch,” a playful weekend featuring a pup parade, agility course, and treat giveaways (plus your entry fee helps support a local pet rescue).

For a more relaxed adventure, places like Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Nebraska offer off-leash play areas and obstacle courses just for pups. Each location brings a unique twist to autumn celebrations, making it easy to include your furry friend in fall outings.

Say hello to TChalla, a stunning collie who’s as regal as his name suggests. Marilyn shared this festive photo of him posted up by the fireplace, clearly gearing up to host Thanksgiving in style. With his elegant coat, perfectly fluffed tail, and seasonal bandana, TChalla looks every bit the gracious (and fluffiest) holiday host.

Whether he’s greeting guests or guarding the pumpkin décor, TChalla brings warmth, grace, and a whole lot of fluff to the family celebration.

Imagine sipping a glass of wine on a sunny patio while your pup relaxes beside you. More wineries are opening their doors to dogs, giving pet owners a chance to enjoy the best of both worlds: great wine and great company.

Not all vineyards operate the same way. Some roll out the red carpet with water bowls, shady spots, and even dog play areas. Others simply allow dogs in outdoor spaces. Knowing the setup before you go makes the day easier for both you and your pup.

A dog-friendly winery visit is more than just convenient—it can be a bonding experience. New sights, sounds, and smells keep your dog engaged, while you get to enjoy a laid-back atmosphere without the guilt of leaving them at home.

To make the most of it, pack a few basics: water, treats, and a leash your dog is comfortable in. And while wandering the grounds might be tempting, keep in mind that grapes can be unsafe for dogs.

Done thoughtfully, a winery trip with your pup is a great memory for the two of you! A relaxed afternoon with a glass in hand and a tail wagging at your feet is hard to beat.
