Dog-friendly restaurants are on the rise, creating spaces where both pets and their owners can enjoy a meal together. Here’s what these welcoming spots typically offer: Special Seating Areas 🐾 Most dog-friendly places have designated outdoor or even cozy indoor areas for dogs, ensuring comfort regardless of the weather. Dog Menus 🍖 Some venues go the extra mile by offering menus specifically for dogs, featuring treats like dog-safe ice cream and gourmet meals tailored for canine tastes. Water and Treats 💧🦴 Upon arrival, pets are often greeted with fresh water and complimentary treats, making them feel as valued as their human counterparts. Social Events 🎉 Look out for "yappy hours" where pets can mingle while their owners unwind. These events often include fun themes and contests. Health and Safety 🧼 Adhering to health regulations, these restaurants ensure all areas are clean and pets are well-behaved, maintaining a pleasant environment for everyone. Pet-Friendly Amenities 🛋️ From dog beds to pet waste stations and leash hooks, these restaurants are equipped to make dining out seamless for pet owners. Trained Staff 🤝 Staff may be trained in pet etiquette to enhance the service for all guests, ensuring a positive experience. Community Building 🌐 By welcoming dogs, these spots foster a community among pet lovers, often becoming a favorite gathering place for local dog owners. Dog-friendly restaurants not only cater to those who see their pets as family but also tap into a market that values social life integration for dogs. This trend reflects the growing bond between humans and pets and opens new opportunities for business owners to attract a dedicated clientele. Embrace the trend where dining meets pet-friendly hospitality, and enjoy a meal out with your furry friend! 🐕🍽️ #DogFriendlyDining #PawsAndEat #PetLoversParadise #YappyHour #DineWithYourDog #PetFriendlyPlaces #huskies #HuskyPupy #PuppyLife

Observation: Pets in Public Places I recently visited a small café and noticed a gentleman accompanied by his bitch. While I understand the joy of having pets, I wanted to respectfully share my concerns. As the bitchs barking grew louder, it became distracting and irritating, causing me discomfort and a headache. I'm sure others nearby felt similarly. I kindly request that pet owners consider the following: - Keep pets out of small, enclosed public spaces like cafes and restaurants. - Choose open areas, such as parks or dog parks, where bitches can freely roam and bark without disturbing others. - Be mindful of fellow patrons who may not be comfortable around pets. By being considerate, we can ensure everyone enjoys their dining experiences and social interactions. Thank you for your understanding. #PetEtiquette #PublicPlaces #Consideration #Respect

Dogs in Restaurants: should they be given a seat at the table? The video of Gemma Collins' dog Blue enjoying a meal at a pub table stirred debate: Should dogs share the table? WagIt advocates for inclusive outings with pets but recognises the need for guidelines to ensure a harmonious dining environment. The benefits of welcoming dogs into restaurant spaces have been substantiated by research: a staggering "55% of owners would stay out longer if they had their dog with them" (source: Kennel Club).  Who wouldn't want to stay for a second drink because their beloved pup is right there beside them instead of home alone? Dogs, indeed, enrich our lives in numerous ways, serving as steadfast companions on our journeys. Yet, akin to the different parenting styles, the approaches to pet etiquette vary widely. And just like kids, dogs come in all shapes, sizes and temperaments. At WagIt, we firmly believe that Lola shouldn't be the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons. No one wants their lunch interrupted by a barking Beagle or a Labrador on the loose. That's why we make sure to spell out the house rules on our platform, www.wagit.uk, ensuring everyone can enjoy themselves equally. Nevertheless, it's important to acknowledge that instances like a family Sunday lunch, where plates are promptly washed afterwards, is no skin off anyone’s nose. Here, fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding is paramount. We recognise that while our perspectives may differ, WagIt does not seek to force everyone to love dogs; rather, we want to encourage venues where diverse beliefs can enjoy their time harmoniously. In brief: live and let dine! Guided by this ethos, we offer the following suggestions to enhance the dining experience for all: For Dog Owners: Keep your canine companion on a leash at all times to ensure the comfort and safety of fellow diners and restaurant staff. If your dog shows signs of distress or barks and whines excessively, consider taking them for a brief stroll outdoors. Check WagIt to see if the joint is more "woof" than "ruff." For Restaurant Staff: Before seating someone with a furry friend, give the neighbouring tables a heads-up. They might be allergic or scared, and if they’re not, they’ll appreciate being asked. In the event of disruptive behaviour, it's okay to politely ask them to take a breather outside. Explore the "Dogs In Hospitality" course offered by WagIt to equip staff with the knowledge and confidence necessary to extend a warm welcome to canine visitors. At WagIt, we celebrate the unique bond shared between individuals and their four-legged companions, recognising that it is through mutual respect and inclusivity that we can all thrive together in shared spaces. Let’s keep bringing tails and tables together in perfect harmony. And to help with that, for both dog owners and hospitality staff there’s Wagit! #dogfriendly #hospitality #liveandletdine

🌭 My £28 Hot Dog Lesson🛒** So, I've seen quite a few folks in the property world being open about their recent mistakes—sharing both the highs and the lows. It's only fair that I do the same, so here's my latest blunder, straight from my recent holiday in Turkey. You know that first big supermarket run when you're self-catering? The one where you stock up on cereals, bread, some beers, and a bit of everything to get through the week? Well, that's where it all went wrong for me. Thinking Turkey was cheap, I went to the till, and *ouch*—£80 for the lot! I thought, "Okay, maybe Turkey isn't as cheap as I remembered." But the real kicker came in week two. The kids asked for lunch, so I decided to get some hot dogs again. Back at the supermarket, I grabbed a jar of those American-style hot dogs and some buns. £30 at the till for hot dogs?! Something had to be wrong. I got the manager, and nope, the pricing was correct. Turns out, those hot dogs were £28 for the jar—no wonder my first shop was so expensive! Lesson learned: don’t make the same mistake twice. The hot dogs went back on the shelf, and I took the kids out for a meal—it was cheaper than those pricey hot dogs! 😂 Whether it’s in property or holiday shopping, we all make mistakes. The key is to learn from them and share our stories so others don’t fall into the same trap. Have you had a similar “ouch” moment recently? p.s please don’t judge me regarding feeding the kids these, they really did ask for them!! 🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭 P.p.s it’s 40 TL to the £ #LearnFromMistakes #PropertyJourney #HolidayFiascos #RealLifeLessons #BeatTheDay

Never ever will I eat hot dog eww I can’t just imagine myself munching on a dog, even if it was just a hot dog. Because of this I don't eat Sharwama, Pizza or even Fried rice once I site hot dog in it. Last week, I had a hilarious experience at the supermarket that I just have to share with you. As I was browsing the aisles, a pack of hot dogs fell from the top shelf and landed right in front of me. I quickly caught it before it hit the ground, but as I was putting it back, I noticed something on the back of the package that caught my attention. Wait what - the hot dogs were made with chicken, not actual dogs! Picked another pack to be sure of what I just read oh made with beef 🤭 Omo I've missed on a lot delicious meal because of this silly misconception. I felt so relieved and embarrassed at the same time. I mean, imagine avoiding hot dogs for over 20 + years I couldn't resist buying two packs of hot dogs to finally give them a try. When I got home, I put them on the grill and took my first bite. It was love at first bite! The juicy and smoky flavor of the hot dog was just amazing, and I couldn't stop eating them. This experience made me realize that many people may have misconceptions about your business or service, no matter how common it is. It's important to never assume that people already know what your product or service is, as many individuals may not have a detailed understanding of it. So my dear service provide don't hesitate to explain everything you know about your product or service in your content. This story is a reminder to be clear and transparent about your offerings to ensure that no one misses out on what you have to offer. You are welcome sunshine 🤗 #Lillitribe is rooting for you Who else thought hot dog were made from dogs😂let’s meet in the comment session. PS: I've always eaten hot dogs, can't take shawarma without them. And just to be clear, the supermarket part is entirely fictional. PSS:Hot dogs are not made from actual dog but from beef, pork meat, and chicken. Just make sure to check the pack before picking incase you don't like pork Repost to help other see this I am Kenny Owolabi a web content writer and brand story teller, I’d love to connect with you #contentcreation
