Pets are a major part of the family, so it's not surprising that most pet owners look for ways to incorporate their furry friends into their every day activities. With fall officially in full swing, what plans do you have that your pet can tag along for? If you're looking for a few ideas, we've got you covered:

1. Go hiking. Your pets need exercise just as much as you do, so consider a hiking trip and bring them with you! Not only will a hike get them moving, but it'll also give them some time to enjoy the great outdoors.
2. Take them pumpkin picking. What's cuter than your pet sitting in a field filled with pumpkins? We can't think of much! So long as the pumpkin patch is pet-friendly, pack up your pet and let them help you find the perfect pumpkin for carving this year.
3. Play football. Fall is all about football, so get your pet in on the action and head outdoors for a game or two! No, they won't be able to catch the ball and toss it back to you, but we bet they'll love running around and chasing after the football when you throw it.
4. Go costume shopping. Humans aren't the only ones who can dress up for Halloween - there are plenty of pet costumes too! That said, plan a day where you shop to find the perfect Halloween costume for your four-legged friend - pet stores that are pet-friendly are the perfect place to start (maybe your pet will even hint at which costume they like best!).
5. Watch a scary movie. There's nothing like cuddling up on the couch with your pet, so plan a night where you'll stay in and hang out just you two. And while you're making yourself some popcorn, make sure you have treats ready for your pet to enjoy too.

Have another activity that you and your pet enjoy doing every fall? If so, be sure to share your thoughts with us on Facebook and Twitter!
