Back-to-school season isn’t just about sharpened pencils and new routines for kids — it’s a reset for the whole household, dogs included. Fall brings earlier mornings, crisper walks, and a fresh excuse to treat our dogs (and ourselves) to a few thoughtful upgrades. Whether it’s a cozy new sweater for chilly drop-offs, a leash that makes daily walks feel polished, or a playful toy that nods to classroom essentials, these finds bring a little scholastic charm into everyday life with your pup.

Cool mornings call for a little extra warmth. This cream knit sweater mirrors the season’s back-to-school cardigans — for dogs with style.
