# Paw-tumn is nearly here: Are you ready?

**By Megan Balmer** · 2017-08-29

With Autumn just around the corner and August coming to a close, it's time for earlier night time walkies and to get the dog coats out of your cupboard. Here's our guide to giving your dog the safest, warmest and comfiest Paw-tumn ever!

## **Walkies** **🐕**

It's a sad fact that as autumn approaches the nights become darker earlier, and the mornings become lighter later. That's why its a good idea to take your dog out later on a morning and earlier on the night to attempt to avoid the darkness. However we know it isn't always possible, or you may enjoy a walk with your pooch in the darker nights, so follow these rules and you and your doggy can have the best night walkies ever:

### _Use Reflective Gear_

The most important thing to remember if your walking down a main street is that cars and other vehicles won't be able to see your dog. Use reflective and LED gear such as the [Weatherbeeta Reflective Parka](https://petnpony.co.uk/collections/dog-clothing/products/weatherbeeta-reflective-300d-dog-coat?variant=32031457220#.WaVPPMh96Uk) and the [Flexi Vario LED Flash Belt](https://petnpony.co.uk/collections/dog-collars-lead-harness/products/flexi-vario-led-flash-belt?variant=48456447183#.WaVQU8h96Uk) to keep your dog safe and snug.

### _Dog Coats_

If you do decide to walk your dog a bit earlier than usual to keep up with the light, then than doesn't necessarily mean that it will be any warmer. A good idea is to invest in a warm, high quality dog coat to make sure even the biggest of poochies are warm and snug this Paw-tumn.

### _Dog Beds_

What more do we like more than coming in from a long day and just jumping into a nice warm snuggly bed... well so does your canine companion! if their bed is starting to look a little worse for wear during this cold season then get a new fluffy bed for your pooch, maybe try the [Sherpa Fleece Bed](https://petnpony.co.uk/products/sherpa-fleece-bed?variant=460220097#.WaVgPMh96Uk) or one of our many beds instore...[](https://petnpony.co.uk/products/sherpa-fleece-bed?variant=460220097#.WaVgPMh96Uk)

### _Fleas_

Checking for fleas is important at anytime of the year, however flea season is just coming to a close so don't forget to make sure your dog doesn't have fleas before you go trying on dog coats or dog beds this autumn!
