These fall-themed finds are also great alternatives to dressing up your dog on Halloween if your pooch isn't comfortable wearing costumes or clothing.
What to consider when purchasing fall-themed dog walking accessories
Sizing: Many pet products, especially walking accessories, come in a range of sizes. Measure your dog and consult the sizing chart before adding a product to your online shopping cart to ensure that it will be an appropriate fit for your dog. When the gear arrives, adjust it as needed so your dog is comfortable wearing it.
Comfort: When picking out festive gear for your dog, look for soft fabrics and adjustable features. While most dogs are accustomed to collars, harnesses, and leashes, some may not tolerate wearing bandanas. If that's the case with your dog, remove the bandana and opt for an accessory they're OK with sporting. You should also make sure that any collar or harness you select for your dog is a sized appropriately and doesn't restrict your dog's movement.
Festiveness: Fall goes by in a flash, so don't be afraid to get festive. Some fall-themed accessories can be worn all season long, from September through November. We've included some traditional prints like pumpkins and plaid in this roundup as well as subtle nods to fall like botanical motifs and burnt orange velvet.

Plaid is a fall staple, and now your dog can get in on the trend too. This two-pack of bandanas is made of 100% cotton but isn't super stretchy, so it's best for small- and medium-sized dogs as the neck size extends to 24.8 inches.. The edges come frayed for a rugged look and there are two different sets to choose from (the other is a larger-scale plaid print).
