Pumpkin patches that allow dogs near me

If you're a crazy dog parent (and who isn't?), you probably don't want to leave Fido at home on a beautiful fall day.

After all, your furry-four-legged friend loves the crinkling leaves and brisk fall weather just as much as you do. 

Sure, you can take your pup to the park, but if you're going for the full fall experience, you're likely making your way to a pumpkin patch or apple orchard.

The good news is, you can take Fido with you!

There are a few pup-friendly farms near Chicago that will gladly welcome you and your pup!

Check them out below and get the perfect fall Insta photo with your furry friend!
