Doggie Etiquette 101 is by far a popular topic amongst any citizens who take their animal to a restaurant. This week we cover rule 6: No paws on the table.  This rule is not only for the health and safety of you and your animal, but for the health and safety of ALL animals and people who come to the restaurant. In terms of a restaurant, one of the biggest concerns that a Health Department worries about is the feet of its guests. Who knows what kind of things are on our feet, let alone our dogs. Plus think about it, you wouldn’t place your own feet on the dinner table, so why would you let your animal?

Doggie friendly restaurants are becoming more and more popular, especially in dog friendly areas like Boynton Beach. Last time, I wrote about the first rule: First and foremost, your dog should be able to behave around other people and other dogs. Remember for the safety of your animal, and for others, to accomplish this rule before proceeding further.  Next Always call ahead to the establishment to make sure they allow dogs at their outdoor tables. You would not want to make it all the way there just to find out they are not dog friendly, and your trip was for not. Another rule rule of thumb for those new to the doggie restaurant scene: Dogs CANNOT go inside a restaurant unless they are a service dog!
