Happy Halloween from our pack to yours! 🎃🐾

We hope your dog is dressed as something absolutely ridiculous and loving every second of it. (And if they stage a very dignified protest — no shame. Comfort > costume, always.)

Drop your dog’s Halloween costume in the comments. We love to see them all! 👀🐶

🎃 — spooky edition! 👻🐾

Halloween is fun for us — but it can be a stressful night for dogs. A few wellness reminders to keep your pup safe this week:

🍫 Chocolate, xylitol, and raisins are toxic — all candy stays out of reach
🎭 Costumes should fit comfortably and not restrict movement or vision — if they hate it, skip it
🚪 Opening doors all night = escape risk — keep dogs in a secure room if you’re expecting trick-or-treaters
👻 Doorbells + strangers + weird costumes = sensory overload for anxious pups — have a calm space ready

Treat your dog to something safe and dog-friendly this Halloween. They deserve a little celebration too. 🐶🎃

🐾 — fall edition! 🍂

As days get shorter, it’s easy to let your dog’s activity level slip. Cooler temps, cozy couches, and the general vibe of autumn make it tempting for everyone to slow down — but dogs need consistent movement year-round.

A few ways to keep your pup active this fall:
🍁 Morning walks while the air is crisp
🍁 Weekend hikes before the rain sets in
🍁 Regular daycare days to keep the social routine going

Don’t let the couch win. (At least not every day.) 😄🐾

Ever wonder who's actually taking care of your dog at camp? 🐾

We're pulling back the curtain on what it takes to be a CRAM Camp Counselor — the kind of people who stop strangers on the street to pet their dog, know every camper by name, and still have energy for one more belly rub at the end of a long shift.

Spoiler: it takes a very specific kind of person. And we think you'll appreciate knowing a little more about who's on the other side of that gate.

🐾 — let’s talk about your dog’s mental health.

Yes, really. Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise — and most dogs don’t get enough of it. A bored dog isn’t a lazy dog. They’re a dog whose brain needs something to do.

Signs your dog might need more mental engagement:
🔹 Destructive behavior at home
🔹 Excessive barking
🔹 Restlessness or pacing
🔹 Getting into things they absolutely know they shouldn’t 😅

Social play, new environments, and interaction with other dogs all count as mental stimulation. Which is basically a description of a Wednesday at camp. 🐶

🐾 October is National Pet Wellness Month — so we’re kicking off all month long!

First up: your dog’s weight. Did you know nearly 60% of dogs in the US are overweight — and most owners don’t realize it? Extra weight sneaks up gradually, and honestly, a chonky dog is very cute. 😅

But excess weight puts real strain on joints, heart health, and longevity. A simple check: ribs should be feelable (not visible) under light pressure, and your dog should have a visible waist when viewed from above.

The best medicine? Regular play and social time — and we happen to have a great facility for that. 🐶

🖤 Happy National Black Dog Day!

Here’s something worth knowing: black dogs are statistically among the last to be adopted from shelters — often because of superstition or simply because they’re harder to photograph well.

But at camp? Our black-coated campers are absolute rock stars. 🐾

Share a photo of a black dog you love in the comments — owned, fostered, or just admired from afar. And if you’ve been thinking about adoption, consider giving a dark-coated pup their chance. They will absolutely make up for it in personality. 🖤🐶

October is Pit Bull Awareness Month! 🐶💙

At Camp Run-A-Mutt, we’re celebrating the lovable, loyal, and often misunderstood bully breeds — because we know there’s no such thing as a bad dog.

These dogs have an unfair reputation that doesn’t match their true, gentle nature. In our latest blog, we explore how that stereotype started, why it’s time to change the narrative, and how Camp Run-A-Mutt proudly supports every dog through individualized temperament testing — never breed restrictions.
