Cooler temperatures, leaves changing color, and pumpkin spice lattes — these are just some of the things that signify the start of the fall season right here in New Jersey. As many begin to plan their fall bucket lists, a top activity that may pop up is to go apple picking at a local farm. It is a perfect way to spend a day with family and friends — but what’s even better is if we can bring along our furry friends. The Facebook group, Doggie Road Trippin, has created a list of spots on where to bring Fido to go apple picking. This group has been dedicated to finding places that are pet-friendly in New Jersey, New York, and other surrounding states.

With farms welcoming our furry friends, it is important to follow these tips before visiting one of these spots:
- Always check with farms if open or closed
- Double-check for other updates + pet policies
- Bring waste bags, water, + other supplies your pet may need
- Pick up after your furry friend — makes it an enjoyable experience for all
- Take pictures — capture that special moment with Fido forever. And maybe, share an apple slice or two with them (must be washed — of course!)
