Are Ticks Still Active in Autumn?

Yes. In Switzerland, the castor bean tick is particularly active again between September and November. Continue checking your dog regularly for ticks throughout autumn even when summer is already over.

When Does a Dog Feel Cold in Autumn?

This varies from dog to dog. Coat type, age, body build and general health all play an important role. Shivering, a tense posture or clearly wanting to go home may be signs that your dog is feeling cold.

Does My Dog Need a Coat in Autumn?

Not every dog needs a coat. For short-haired dogs, older dogs or dogs with health problems, a coat can be useful in cold, windy or wet weather. The deciding factor is how well your individual dog copes with the conditions.

What Can I Do With My Dog When It Rains?

Shorter walks are absolutely fine on rainy days. At home, you can add scent games, sniffing activities or a few simple training exercises. The most important thing is to choose activities your dog genuinely enjoys.
