If you’re heading to a dog-friendly restaurant or brewery with outdoor seating, bring your pup along, but keep some basic dog etiquette tips in mind so nobody kicks you out or makes you feel guilty for wanting your best friend by your side. If possible, tire your dog out as much as possible before you go to eat so they are on the mellow side. Consider eating at off-hours when the restaurant isn’t jam-packed and ask for a corner table so you’re pup is as out of the way as possible. Check out the rest of our pet-friendly dining tips.
