Know the restaurant’s policies

Knowing the restaurant’s policies in advance is crucial, of course, if you don’t want to feel embarrassed when certain restaurant entry conditions are imposed on you. According to a certified animal behaviorist specializing in canines and a consultant to the website Dog Owner, Jeff Carbridge, each restaurant has its own different rules, so you have to choose the one that’s right for you and your dog.

Hence, all you have to do is to check their website, reviews and policies. If they are not exposed on their online platform, then try to call them. It’s also important to make sure that there is enough space between the tables because as I said before, some people are allergic or scared of dogs, and your main aim is to be polite, to enjoy your meal and make everyone happy with you and your dining friend, right?

Call the restaurant staff beforehand

Once you have discovered the restaurant’s policies, whether you already know the restaurant or have checked their website, it’s a good idea to call ahead to tell them that you will be there with your dog or to make a reservation (why not?). After this process, be sure to mention what you want your dog to have, such as a bowl of water, a chair, and so on.
