Discover What Pet Friendly Cafes Now Offer Dogs & Cats.

Remember the days when the only public places you could visit with a dog or cat were ovals and footpaths. It wasn’t really that long ago. Then dog parks sprung up everywhere, allowing dogs to play and exercise off their lead, but also allowing a social venue for like-minded pet owners to meet and talk about everything pooches as a shared point of interest.

This article discussing pet friendly cafes will look at the benefits of being able to take your pet dog or cat to the local cafe, hotel and even winery with you.

The take up of cafes and other eateries across all states of Australia, once foreign to pets has been welcomed with open arms, paws and wallets.

Dog Friendly Cafes, Hotels & Wineries

Exercise is one of the benefits and by products of owning a dog. Most don’t see walking the dog everyday as a chore, because one of the reasons they got a dog in the first place was a reason to go for a walk.
Going for a walk on a weekend morning to the local cafe is a popular activity for many singles and couples, relaxing with a barista coffee and croissant while reading the paper is a ritual for many.
The problem used to be that dogs were never welcome and often frowned upon if they tagged along.

Dogs to cafes, hotels and even wineries are now not only accepted, but also encouraged.
Dog friendly cafes have included facilities like dog bowls, and now you’ll find there’s a comprehensive menu just for dogs, complete with ‘Pupa chino’s’ so you and your pooch can share the cafe experience together.

Cat Friendly Cafes

Pet friendly cafes for cats are not as prolific as cafes that cater to dogs, for obvious reasons, but cats have not been totally forgotten. Eateries have opened across all states of Australia that do cater specifically for feline fur babies.

Typically, cat friendly cafes are setup for inside eating only and have many areas and scratch poles for cats to play and interact with their furry friends.

Summary of Pet Friendly Cafes

With the amount of people having pet dogs and cats growing at record rates, and with the number of pet owners wanting to enjoy visiting cafes with their pet increasing, businesses owners have been smart in their approach to capitalising on the trend.

There is much discussion, and the market has become quite competitive with food venues looking at ways of attracting more customers with pets.

While the focus has been on pet friendly cafes in this article, there is a growing number of hotels and wineries advertising ‘pets welcome’, that have created a friendly pet atmosphere both inside and outside for you to sit in comfort all year round with your dog or cat.
