Tips to Take Your Dog to the Pub

The holiday season is around the corner and you are probably making a list of activities and fun things to do with your family. If your family includes a furry friend then things tend to get a little complicated because not all places have a pet-friendly policy. Today’s post is solely focused on taking your furry friend to the bar. If you have a well-mannered dog and you are planning to take it with you during the festive season, here is what you need to know.

1. Be prepared to let your dog socialize with other dogs: Many dog parents like to spend the holiday with their furry friends. Therefore, it’s highly likely that you will find another puppy in a dog-friendly pub. Only take your dog with you if you are sure about the behaviour of your four-legged companion in front of other dogs. You can train your dog at parks or train it to control its feelings when you are in a pub.

2. Find a suitable pub environment: Your ultimate goal is to find a pub that meets not just your needs but also your dog’s need. Avoid going to busy areas or standalone pubs they will be overcrowded. Rather, select a countryside hotel with a warm ambience and a comparatively lesser crowd. This will prevent your dog from getting anxious.

3. Dog treats at the pub: Before you make a reservation at a pub, try to find out if they provide dog treats as well. If not, it is advised to go prepared and take your own water bowl and dog treats to the pub.

4. Other dog essentials: Visiting a dog-friendly pub doesn’t mean that you can ignore the comfort of other guests at the pub. Before you go to a pub, prepare a checklist that will include your dog’s collar, dog’s tag, toys, bones, and a waste bag.
