Tips for eating out with a dog

• Call ahead. A dog-friendly listing can mean different things, and some places only allow dogs in the bar area or at outdoor tables.
• Bring a water bowl and a lead. Keep your dog on the lead while you are seated, and keep walkways and doorways clear.
• Choose quieter times if your dog is nervous. Mid-morning or mid-afternoon is usually calmer than the lunch or evening rush.
• Walk your dog first. A tired dog is more likely to settle under the table.
• Take something for your dog to chew or lie on, so it has something to do while you eat.
