With one in nine (11%) dog owners drinking at a pub at least once a week and one in five (20%) going once a month, beer gardens are a popular destination for dog owners and their four-legged friends.
While most pubs and bars in the UK now allow dogs, many drinking establishments have banned them because of ‘unpredictable’ behaviour.
To ensure furry friends are invited back to the beer garden, pet food brand Webbox has put together some tips for dog owners on how to keep a pet calm and on their best behaviour.
Nutritionist at Webbox Jennifer Dean said: “It’s unhealthy to leave dogs at home on their own for long periods of time, especially when the weather is hot, so a trip out to the pub is a great social experience for them.
“Some pubs are extremely welcoming to dogs, but others aren’t so much, so keeping your pooch on their best behaviour will help staff see how having pets in pubs is a great idea – making your experience, and the experience of those around you, much more enjoyable.”
