Etiquettes to Follow In Dog Restaurants
It may come out as a surprise, but it looks like dog-friendly restaurants are popping everywhere around the map. Many restaurants are now offering outdoor seating for pet owners and their dogs.
Honestly, dining out with your dog is a fun way to spend time together and can make your day more pleasant. But whether you are visiting a local dog restaurant or a pet-friendly hotel, there are little etiquettes that you as an owner should keep in mind.
Call ahead
You first have to reach out to the restaurant and ask them if they allow dogs in their space. Use this time to let the restaurant know if your dog will need any special accommodation like a water bowl or something of that sort.
Keep your “buddy” busy
Have you ever heard of a bully stick? If you think your dog would sit quietly for an hour or so around food, noise, and unknown people, then you are wrong. It is recommended that you bring high-value chew toys or human grade pet food for your pet to enjoy. Well, you should grab some of those because they are of high quality and will keep your dog busy for at least 10-20 minutes.
Choose a quiet location
Most of the dog-friendly restaurants out there offer outdoor seating for owners and their pets, so it’d be wise to choose a quiet location. Don’t hesitate to ask for a table off in a corner or something that’s away from traffic. Also, remember that not all guests like dogs and many may startle when seeing one, so cooperate and try to make them comfortable.
Polite manners will do the trick
Since people’ll surround you, it’d be nice if your dog sits quietly near its owner. Now that is something that’d be tough for most dogs because they easily get excited around people. So, before taking your dog to a restaurant, make sure he’s able to “sit,” “down,” and “stay” on your command.
Last Words
So, those were some etiquette that you need to keep in mind before going to dog restaurants. And now that you know everything about them, it’s time to take your dog to a restaurant and enjoy your day out.
