How to plan your visit

• Call ahead. Policies and seating change, so confirm that dogs are allowed on the day, and ask about the best time to come.
• Book a table where you can. A quiet corner or a spot away from the door is easier for most dogs.
• Keep a leash and ID tag on. Even at off-leash areas, keep your dog leashed until you have seen how the space and the other dogs feel.
• Carry the basics. A water bowl, a small towel, poop bags and a mat from home so your dog has a familiar place to settle.
• Read your dog. Crowds, loud music and unfamiliar dogs can be a lot. If your dog is panting, hiding or pulling away, take a break outside.
• Be a good guest. Pick up after your dog, keep them off other tables and chairs, and ask before letting your dog greet strangers or their pets.

Choosing between a cafe and a dog park

Cafes and brewpubs suit calm dogs that can settle under a table. Dog parks and farm spaces suit energetic dogs that need room to run and swim. If your dog is new to outings, start with a quiet weekday visit and build up to the busier Sunday spots. For a long drive, read our guide to making your pet car friendly.
