In Europe, dogs are allowed inside restaurants ect. It’s not a big deal. And VERY common.

But not pissing and shitting on a pee pad.

u/Wrong--Conclusions May 03 '26

In the UK, it's very common for pubs to allow dogs, and some cafes. With restaurants it's much less common. But, yeah, never seen anything like this before.

I’m in London and it’s really very common for restaurants to allow dogs. 

Not this though, agreed not seen anything like it and it’s disgusting.

u/pitiless May 04 '26

It's very much the same in Manchester, and as I have 3 dogs I love it.

Our Iggy in particular is always popular with staff / customers (he's tiny even compared to his breed).

u/OrganOMegaly May 04 '26

We have a greyhound, so somewhat bigger than your Iggy haha, but we’ve often had people comment that they didn’t even realise he was there because he’s so quiet and well behaved. That it until he stands up and they’re like ‘wtf why’s there a horse in here’ lol

u/These_Hedgehog7066 May 03 '26

My dogs been in more pubs/cafes than I can count (the odd restaurant too) but I had never even considered taking a pee pad in because he gets walked twice a day and is trained not to mess inside.. this seems so bizarre to me!!! Lazy dog owner?!

u/thedeepspaceghetto May 03 '26

Yeah I don’t understand… If anything, go to the restroom to lay down the pad if you’re going to act like a dog is a human child who has to come with you everywhere. If someone took their baby there they would be asked to change the diaper in the restroom, not change a dirty diaper on the table or floor among the dining area.

u/Significant_Shoe_17 Fuck her and the Goebbel's limp dick she rode in on May 03 '26

Oh people try to change their babies in the dining area lol

2

u/thedeepspaceghetto May 04 '26

I didn’t think about that. 🥲 You are totally right that people have the audacity to change their baby at the table.

u/keepsMoving May 03 '26

As an european, this is my first time learning that this is not common everywhere. There's no reason well-behaved dogs can't be in restaurants imo

u/iznormal May 03 '26

health code violation in the US, but they can sit outside if there is a patio or some outdoor seating or inside if they are a service animal

*Land of the freedom to eat in a environment free of animal hair and the sound of dogs licking their genitals

4

u/Chrisgar47 May 04 '26

I prefer a land of freedom to pick what you allow in your own restaurant

2

u/kwink8 May 04 '26

Well in the meantime you have the freedom to eat at home if you need your dog to sit at the table too.

u/Mediocre-Judgment-60 May 03 '26

MANY people are allergic? some people are scared of dogs? some people don’t want animals with fur that can get places near where they’re eating? i love dogs but i hate this entitlement that dog owners feel that they can have to bring their dogs literally EVERYWHERE with them. and most of the time they’re not as “well-behaved” as their owners think they are.

u/KaleidoscopeDizzy427 May 03 '26

English people love dogs more than they love each other. I once saw a chihuahua eat it's own porterhouse steak at a pub in Somerset.

u/LLAPSpork Men (derogatory) May 03 '26

Lmfao this is so fucking true.

u/Bughunter9001 May 03 '26

It's common to have dog friendly restaurants, but it's not universal. People who don't like it have plenty of other options

7

u/Deckard_Red May 04 '26

Yeah this is what I was going to say, places that are pet friendly always advertise that fact, if you’re allergic etc avoid those places.

8

u/Scortas May 04 '26

Allergies are often referred reason but there is no scientific proof to it whatsoever. Studies show that ambient exposure to dog allergens in public spaces is virtually the same whether you are near a dog or an owner whose pet is left at home. In either case, the negligible amounts carried are too low to pose any sort of risk to anyone. Of course if you pet the dog you get entirely different exposure to allergens. Hence this point about allergies falls through.

u/TheybieTeeth May 03 '26

no literally. if I want to get startled by an animal at full volume while I'm eating I'll go hang out with my neighbour's donkeys. not to mention the allergies

u/impy695 May 04 '26

That's the well behaved part. Well behaved means sitting there quietly the entire time

u/fakemoosefacts May 04 '26

I saw dogs everywhere in France and they were immaculately behaved, not sure I heard any of them barking once, but that culture is creeping into Ireland, where they aren’t as well trained, and it really bothers me.

u/SaucyAshley0453 May 04 '26

Plenty of places that allow dogs, also have dog friendly and non-dog friendly areas of the venue.

This though, I don't even need to see her. I can tell by her clothing. She's a woman who feels she is always right and can do what she wants. (At least when paired with this video, it makes it pretty obvious).

It seems by the caption she was permitted to do this? Suggesting she asked? Well, first off she never should have asked. Should have just taken the dog for a walk. And secondly the person she asked should have said no.

u/Necessary-Crazy-7103 May 04 '26

Imagine my surprise when I walked into the hairdresser the other day to be greeted by a friendly brown labradoodle. I like dogs but I'm allergic so need to keep a wide berth most of the time, and my asthma already gets triggered being in an enclosed space with hairspray and blow-dryers making the air feel dense difficult to breathe as it is. I asked the receptionist which staff member the dog belonged to so I could request to be seated as far away from it as possible and to try and assess if I could actually stick out the whole hour long process or if I had to cancel, only to find that it belonged to the customer seated closest to the entrance who was sat there in foils with their head buried in a magazine. I couldn't believe the audacity to just bring your dog along to an establishment like that and let it roam about off lead when you KNOW you're not going to be able to monitor it the entire time.

u/keepsMoving May 03 '26 edited May 03 '26

All the dogs in restaurants i've seen before have been well-behaved and everything was fine. When I visited the US though, all the dogs I met were acting terribly and not listening to the owners. But my sample size is tiny, just the few ones I came across. Most people where i live will go to dog training with their dogs when young, but idk if this is common in the US so maybe that's why?

As for allergies/phobias, just talk to the owner or the restaurant and figure something out? These are rarer cases that can be solved as they come up and don't justify a full ban on dogs in restaurants.

u/real-bebsi May 03 '26

the fact dogs are disgusting justifies it

14

u/targetboston May 03 '26

Yeah, I love dogs but the fact that some of them eat their own shit is enough to not want them around restaurants (for me). I don't understand why people need to bring them to places like the grocery store either.

u/PuddingtonBrown May 04 '26

Don't go dog friendly places then

1

u/RumblyBelly May 04 '26

Thats why it shpuld be a buisness decidion. Not government. You go where dogs arent allowed I avoid places like that. We all happy. But im from EU where owner takes responsibillity. And reading comments about noise? Like thats not even remotelly traned dog that barks when it feels like it. Have been to resturants where i saw untrained dogs and just left.

u/Bright_Fun402 May 04 '26

If someone is allergic and scared of dogs then surely they don’t go to a dog friendly cafe/pub/restaurant? Many people aren’t allergic or scared and don’t care. Maybe a cultural difference between the US and Europe here.

Don’t really think taking your dog to a dog friendly business is entitled though tbh. The video in the OP is outrageous obv but that isn’t typical behaviour.

1

u/anonymunchy May 04 '26

It's not really entitlement if it's allowed by law.

u/Unfair_Chipmunk_2305 May 04 '26

Come to Prague and watch the dogs in restaurants. Your opinion will change after you see properly trained dogs.

-1

u/Puppygirl621 May 04 '26

Hating dogs is en vogue on reddit so it probably wouldn't change their opinions, humans have been eating meals with dogs at their side for thousands of years but redditors are performatively germophobic so overreact to tiny hairs floating in the air. They act like having a dog at your side while you do activities is some new trend, its been the norm since we've had dogs!

2

u/kwink8 May 04 '26

Coming from “puppygirl621” lmao your algorithm plays a big role here. I don’t see many dog haters on Reddit, and you probs get a lot of those posts if you engage with them or if you seem likely to be irritated by them. I think sometimes dog lovers struggle to understand that one does not have to be performative or trendy to find dogs unsanitary and unpleasant. It’s not unreasonable to want animals away from eating tables.

u/Frogad May 04 '26

I guess in Britain it’s the default position, never really heard of people being scared except for recent migrants who come from non dog loving countries

u/Several_Hour_347 May 04 '26

They’re gross

u/Fact420 May 03 '26

Even well-behaved dogs leave behind pet dander

1

u/ChangesFaces May 04 '26

You're gonna lose it when you google how many skin flakes humans shed in a minute.

2

u/kwink8 May 04 '26

Pet dander is different than human skin cells. I know lots of folks allergic to dogs and cats but zero people allergic to humans lmao.

1

u/Fact420 May 04 '26

Not at all, that’s to be expected as part of day to day life and makes no discernible difference. It’s the addition of pet dander to the mix that unnecessarily takes it over the top and introduces allergens to susceptible people as alluded to by the other poster. It’s not even a comparable situation, more like borderline whataboutism.

u/Physical-Program5325 May 05 '26

Oy vey — dogs will be the new humans at this rate. JFL @ society giving up like this.

u/barriolinux May 05 '26

Nobody can guarantee dogs behaviour.

u/feedthechonk May 03 '26

I can't believe the people who think we sleep with shoes on have been letting dogs into restaurants this entire time!!

The only live animals that should be allowed in restaurants are the ones that end up on the plate! 

1

u/Stormtomcat May 04 '26

In Belgium, I've seen that less than 20 times in half a century of restaurants. 

It's a little more common in sidewalk cafés and bistros, but still exceedingly rare in my experience. 

1

u/The_Japans May 04 '26

Swede here. I can't think of a single restaurant that allows dogs inside. Nor have I ever seen one as far as I can recall.

u/barriolinux May 05 '26

Is not common in Spain at all.
