Dog-Friendly Restaurant Chains
Many restaurant and cafe chains have announced their dog-friendly stance. Check out these dog-friendly chains with locations in the Orlando area:
- Panera Bread
- Starbucks
- Applebee’s (with patios)
- Another Broken Egg Cafe
- Foxtail Coffee
There’s a good chance if you visit these chains they’ll welcome your pup along too. But it’s better to be respectful and call ahead to ensure any spot you’re visiting with your pet for the first time is actually dog-friendly.
What Different Restaurants Mean by ‘Dog-Friendly
Dog-friendly isn’t an official term and each restaurant will give it its own definition. You’ll rarely find a restaurant dog-friendly enough to let your put sit by your side inside the restaurant. If they did it would be difficult to pass health inspections.
Instead, you’ll typically see pet-friendly establishments offering pet-friendly outdoor seating and pet-friendly menu items.
Some restaurants and cafes will even keep your dog’s bowl filled. But you should be prepared with your own water source in case the restaurant doesn’t take their pet-friendliness that far.
Etiquette for Dining with Your Pets
The majority of people like dogs, but that doesn’t mean they want yours jumping into their lap while they’re trying to eat. When it comes to taking your pet out to eat ensure your pet is well-mannered and friendly.
Keep the following pointers in mind to make sure your pet and surrounding patrons enjoy their meal:
- Keep your pet on a leash, preferably a leash shorter than six feet
- Bring a water bowl and extra water to keep your pup hydrated
- Try to find a spot that is secluded from busier portions of the cafe
- Keep your pet calm and quiet (If your pet tends to be talkative then going out to eat may not be a good option for them.)
- Bring along chew toys to entertain your dog while you eat
- Bring along a blanket, especially for older dogs
Remember, while you’re out and about with your dog you never know what you’ll encounter. Be sure your pet is up-to-date on all vaccinations. Plus, having heartworm and flea prevention will help keep your dog safe while taste-testing new spots around Orlando.
