Send us a message to schedule fall adventure walks

🐾 Adjusting Pet Routines for the Fall Season

Back-to-school schedules, cooler weather, and shorter daylight hours often mean more time indoors for pets. If your dog is used to active summer days outside, September is the time to shift their routine.

We offer multiple pet care options, including daily dog walking and drop-in pet care visits to help your pets stay active, enriched, and emotionally balanced—even when you’re away. Whether you need midday bathroom breaks, energy-burning walks, or just some companionship while you’re at work, Northern Paws is here for you.

🍂 Seasonal Health & Safety Tips for Dogs and Cats

Fall brings beautiful hikes and crisp air—but also new risks. In Antrim County and throughout Northern Michigan, ticks and fleas remain active well into October. Continue using parasite preventatives and check your pet after walks, especially if you explore wooded or leaf-covered areas.

Also, keep an eye out for:

• Fall allergies (ragweed, mold)

• Cold mornings for senior pets with joint issues

• Mushroom ingestion in damp yards or trails

Our team is CPR-certified and trained to monitor signs of discomfort or health concerns during walks and home visits.
