Barktober: Fall Fun for NYC’s Best Pups!
As the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, October in New York City becomes a magical time—not just for us humans, but for our four-legged friends too! At Throw Me A Bone, we’re fully embracing the season with cozy vibes, autumn activities, and extra tail wags. Whether your pup is joining us for daycare, boarding, or just stopping by for a treat, there's something special waiting this month.
Fall Fun at Daycare
This month, our daycare pups are enjoying:
- Pumpkin Playtime – We’ve added pumpkin-themed toys and enrichment games to keep things festive and fun.
- Autumn Park Walks – Add a ‘Stroll in the Park’ to your Daycare session and our team will lead a leashed stroll so pups can crunch through the leaves and sniff out the season.
- Costume Countdown – Later this month, we’re spotlighting pups who come in costume! Snap a photo at drop-off or let us take one for our Instagram—cutest costume wins a special Halloween prize.
Spooky (but Snuggly) Boarding Stays
Planning a fall getaway or attending late-night events? Our overnight guests will enjoy:
- Pumpkin-infused Treats – With owner approval, we’re serving up seasonal snacks made with real pumpkin, known to be gentle on doggy tummies.
- Comfort-First Boarding Suites – Our climate-controlled boarding spaces are perfect for chilly fall nights, and every pup gets cozy bedding and personalized care.
Howl-o-Ween Parties!
Join us for our annual Howl-o-Ween Parties later this month! It’s a costume party for pups (and their people), with:
- Treats for dogs and humans
- A spooky photo booth
- Costume contest with prizes
Fall Tips for NYC Dog Parents
- Store candy securely: Keep all Halloween candy in a dog-proof container, high on a shelf in a pantry or secure cupboard, out of your dog's reach.
- Watch for sidewalk salt – NYC streets get salty early. Wipe your dog’s paws after walks to avoid irritation.
- Layer up – Short-haired or senior dogs may need a light jacket when temps drop.
- Stay visible – With days getting shorter, consider a reflective collar or leash for evening walks.
Book Early for Thanksgiving & Holidays
Spots fill up fast for Thanksgiving and December holidays. Be sure to reserve your boarding or daycare dates soon—your pup deserves a safe, happy place while you travel.
Whether it’s a day of play, an overnight stay, or just a quick visit, we’re here to make your dog’s October paws-itively perfect.
