It’s getting darker earlier, the temperatures are dropping, you’re starting to embrace sweater weather and these are all things that affect your pet too.

Rechargeable, Clip-On Collar Light
Amazon.ca
Fall days can be lovely and crisp, but they’re also darker than the summer – and when your dog wants walkies, they’re not going to adjust their schedule, meaning you’ll be roaming your neighbourhood together in less light than before. To improve visibility, invest in an LED collar like this one. It features six super bright LED beads making it visible from up to eight kilometres away and is lightweight and USB rechargeable. This light is also suitable to clip onto a cat’s collar for nighttime adventures outdoors.
Why your pet needs this:
Safety and visibility at night
Waterproof for use in all weather conditions
Rated 4.4 out of 5 on Amazon.ca

You’ll likely have your dog on tick medication from your vet and on top of that, you can add this comb to your daily grooming routine. It’s specifically designed to work for cats and dogs with all coat types, and the extra-fine teeth will comb away adult fleas, flea eggs, and other debris your pet picked up outside.
