A dog-friendly café can make it easier to enjoy time out without leaving your dog at home.
Many cafés welcome dogs only in outdoor seating areas, and policies can change. Contact the café before visiting to confirm where dogs are allowed and whether bookings are required.
Bring a lead and water, keep your dog close and make sure pathways remain clear. If your dog becomes uncomfortable or disruptive, it may be better to leave and try again another day.
