If you are new to pet menus, start with a pupcake or a frozen yoghurt. Pupcakes are small cakes made with dog-friendly ingredients, such as peanut butter, bananas, and carrots. Frozen yoghurt is a refreshing treat for dogs on a hot day. Most pet menus also include dog biscuits and dog ice cream.
When you order a pet menu item, ask the staff about the ingredients. Some dogs have allergies or dietary requirements, so it is important to check that the treat is suitable for your dog.
When you dine out with your dog, follow these tips:
Check the pet policy. Check the pet policy before you go. Some cafes and restaurants allow dogs in the outdoor seating area, while others do not allow dogs at all.
Keep your dog on a leash. Keep your dog on a leash unless you are in a designated off-leash area. A leash prevents your dog from running into traffic, approaching other dogs, or disturbing other patrons.
Clean up after your dog. Carry a bag and clean up after your dog. Dog waste is a health hazard and can lead to the closure of dog-friendly venues.
Bring a water bowl. Bring a water bowl for your dog. Some venues provide water bowls, but it is a good idea to bring your own.
Be respectful. Be respectful of other patrons and the staff. Keep your dog quiet and under control. If your dog is barking or causing a disturbance, remove it from the venue.
