Tips for dining out with your dog
- Call ahead — patios are often seasonal and policies change, especially for special events.
- Bring water and a collapsible bowl (many spots provide bowls, but not all).
- Keep your dog leashed and tucked beside your table, out of walkways.
- Go at off-peak times for your first visit so it's calmer for your pup.
- Bring a chew or treat to keep them settled while you eat.
