Tips for Enjoying Dog-Friendly Spots

Before heading out for a latte or pint, keep these simple tips in mind:

• Bring a portable water bowl and poop bags.

• Keep your dog leashed and near you at all times.

• Be mindful of crowds. If your pup gets anxious, choose quieter hours.

• Always ask staff if unsure, since policies can change with seasons or events.
