Welcome to
Let My Dog In
Everyone who owns a dog has tried to visit an establishment with their canine friend in tow only to be barred at the door. And the reasons are always the same: “Dogs have misbehaved here in the past”, “It’s management rules”, “It’s a food preparation area”, blah blah blah… Not only is this frustrating and embarrassing but really unfair! When was the last time all human beings were banned from a bar because one had misbehaved before? How many restaurants have stopped allowing children in because of management rules? And don’t get me started on the food preparation excuse… some of the best food I’ve ever eaten was in pubs and they invariably allow dogs in.
SO… I decided that in order to remove the cringeworthy experience of being told that my dogs can’t go somewhere with me, I would have to check before leaving home.
And this website was born!
Dog-Friendly Places
And by dog-friendly I don’t mean a place that allows your dog to sit outside; we all know that the weather in this country is irregular at best. Whenever a business only allows your best friend to sit outside, we will still list it if (and only if) the rest of the experience is worth it. Other than that, we prefer to focus on businesses which allow dogs full access, just like they do humans.
Grooming
Special offers are all the rage these days so let everyone know of the best deal in town! Humans are often rewarded for loyalty to a business, so why shouldn’t dogs be?
