If you’re like me, you want to do EVERYTHING with your pup. But sometimes it’s hard to find a place that welcomes both you and your dog. What to do when society shuns your dog love? Turn to a place that understands how important it is to have ALL of your loved ones with you, whether dining out, staying in a hotel, or going for a quick coffee.
Here are 27 establishments that will cater to your dog.
1. Starbucks
One of the items on the Starbucks secret menu, the Puppuccino is a small cup filled with whipped cream for your pup, a.k.a. all things good in this world. Next time you get that grande non-fat chai latte, treat your pup to the puppuccino! Editor’s note: WebMD lists ice cream and dairy as a food your dog shouldn’t eat. Just like humans, some dogs get upset stomachs from eating dairy so if you have a pup with a sensitive tum, might want to stay clear of this one!

2. Rock & Brews
This American comfort food restaurant not only has a dog-friendly patio, but they have a doggie menu and will bring water in a bowl for your pup upon request (on the house). The perfect place to dine and rock out with your pup.

Who says pups and fashion have to be mutually exclusive? Bring your pooch with you while you shop. Saks is extremely pet-friendly; the Birmingham branch even hosted a Dogs & Denim Fall Fashion show supporting Hand in Paw, an animal therapy organization.
13. Tim Hortons
Tim Hortons might be known for their variety of Timbits, but few people know that Tim Hortons offers plain Timbits for dogs. Just make sure to ask for a pet-friendly Timbit so they know not to put sugar on it. Limit one per canine customer!

14. Southwest Air
Though most airlines will allow customers to bring a pet carrier on board for a fee, Southwest has a 2-for-1 rate. Meaning if you have two small dogs that can fit comfortably in one carrier, then you will only be charged for the carrier, and not per pet.

Culver’s may be known for their “made-daily Fresh Frozen Custard,” but we know them for their welcoming attitudes to our dogs. Culver’s has a tradition of offering milk bones to dogs coming through the drive thru. If you drive thru the right location, then your dog will get their milk bone in a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
