Peter Dills visits Dog Friendly Restaurants

Pet  Friendly restaurants

First of all the term “Pet Friendly”  might be consireded an oxymoron,  the rule of the thumb is that the restaurants have some sort 

of patio you know Fresca Dining.  Each city has it’s own regulations on laws on bringing Fido to a restaurants.  Here are a few 

guidelines that I have come up with.

To keep restaurants happy with their decisions to include pets, here are some etiquette rules you and your pet should follow when dining out:

• Keep your animal leashed at all times.
• No barking
• No begging
• No jumping
• No eating off the table
• No sitting on chairs, tables or benches
• Do not enter the inside of the restaurant.
• Current vaccination tags should be on pet's collar
• Bring your own food dish and water bowl. Health codes prohibit pets from eating and drinking from restaurant dishes and glasses.
• Get your pet to sit under or as close to the table base as possible to reduce the chances of your waiter tripping over your pet 

Now that we got that out of the way here is a list of local favorites,  did I miss a spot?  Please email me !!

The wonderful Raymond Restaurant  1886 is a great place for happy hour and depending on the weather a great place for your pooch.  All three Lucky Baldwin’s, I have it on good authority that the Old Pasadena location has some treats on the menu, beer? Sierra Madre’s own Casa Del Reyis very dog friendly water bowls for Lil Milo and you can enjoy the tacos!!!  One of my favorite Italian Restaurants is Mi Piace, space is limited but they will welcome your puppy with open arms.  Looking for some Tex with your Mex? El Portalon Colorado Blvd. has a great patio and is perfect for a meeting of you and your pooch ,. Porta Via Italian Foodson California tells me that they are Dog Friendly. Well, the Dog Haus better be dog friendly, right?  Check out both locations, but I would suggest the one on Green St.  The new True Foodsis a  great place for a Sunday Mimosa  and Bella will feel like a champ! For those looking for a hotel I recommend the Hotel Constanceon Colorado. If golfing is your thing take your pug to Brookside Golf Course!  Well, I know I missed a few but that’s a great list to start with.
