Fall Instagram pet photos sweeter than a pumpkin spice latte

Fall is such a fun and inspirational time of year. Nature offers up some awesome colors as leaves turn from lush green to stunning shades of red, yellow, and orange. Farm fields are dotted with orange pumpkins, and people and pets get to dress up for Halloween. It’s the perfect season for taking photos of your pet. We scoured social media. Here are our favorite autumn Instagram pet photos.

Louis

Louis the pug looks so cute posing in his fall sweater. Visit this “mama’s boy” on Instagram to see how smart he looks dressed in his many seasonal outfits. There’s an adorable E.T. look-alike shot.

Remi: Adventure Dog

The fall leaves provide the perfect backdrop for this image of Remi posing on a bridge in the Boyce Thompson Arboretum, Arizona. Described as a “bad***, road-tripping Australian shepherd,” Remi enjoys exploring the great outdoors. He has enjoyed many fun adventures in Arizona, including hiking in Gold Canyon, swimming in the Salt River, and paddle boating on Canyon Lake.

Keira

Just look at how Keira’s stunning coat blends so well with nature in this fall shot. This girl happily poses for the camera because she always gets a treat after. Expect to smile and laugh out loud as you browse images of this “goofy girl” sporting a flannel shirt as she poses in front of a farmer’s truck, drying off in her robe after a swim, and looking adorable in a crown of flowers in celebration of Easter.

Ziggy

Fall leaves make a wonderful carpet for this handsome Australian shepherd. Visit Ziggy’s account to track his life from puppyhood. He was such a little fluffball. It looks like this boy loves swimming, hanging at the beach, chasing sticks, and eating ice cream.

Dipper

It wouldn’t be a fall photo roundup without a Halloween shot. Dipper was dressed as a “sexy pumpkin” in this shot, and we think he nailed it. This mixed-breed cutie is described as “just a pup, living life, chewing snacks, and taking naps.” There are more than 1,000 uplifting photos of Dipper hanging out with friends and family. Looks like this pup has one amazing life.

It’s so awesome that Ollie gets to enjoy the great outdoors along with her canine siblings.

Scouts Family Adventures

What a terrific shot of Scout lounging in a tree under fall leaves and a beautiful blue sky. This handsome kitty was just 2 days old when his family found him under a bush. According to Scout’s parents, he has turned out to be a “crazy, sassy, and amazing cat.” Climbing trees seems to be one of his favorite pastimes.

The Bento Box Cats add to the family’s fall decor

Maki looks adorable posing in the middle of his mom’s fall decor. Scroll through his account to check out photos of this kitty looking dapper in a bow tie, showing off a cool bandana, and relaxing in his treehouse. Seems like Maki enjoys posing for the camera.

While it’s fun to include our pets in seasonal photoshoots, remember that not all our animal friends enjoy the experience. Never force your pet to pose or wear a costume if it upsets him. However, if you’re lucky enough to have a dog or cat who enjoys the attention, then let the clicking begin. Fall Instagram and seasonal photos of our pets make terrific keepsakes.

Many of us think that our dogs talk way beyond the average woofs and barks that we all hear. Some seem to be particularly good at human speech, mimicking our sounds to try to be more like their pet parents. While most beasties never quite make it to speaking to us in our language, others go a step further and decide they will learn to sing too. Singing pups have taken over the internet, and this diva is no different.

If you've ever been to the opera, you know to listen for the tell-tale vibrato, which is really just moving between two pitches very quickly. There's nothing quite like it, and most of us will immediately think of that sound when we listen to this melodious dog.
