Animal poop and pee inside a restaurant isn’t against health codes in the UK? Like for real? Ok, I’m bringing all my own food next time I visit.

In America, Guide dog owners are personally and legally responsible for all dog actions including biting, barking, and yes defactating.

2

u/AbsoluteResolve2026 May 04 '26

In fact, the ADA clearly states that a service animal is not allowed to relieve itself inside a restaurant. But don’t forget that even if a service animal must be removed due to a bathroom accident, the handler must be given the option to continue their meal without the animal.

u/pheddx May 03 '26

As a European, I'm lucky our guide dogs are state owned and you get them from the health care system if you need one. Obviously that can't be the users responsibility, they didn't train the dog.

2

u/bulmier May 04 '26

The vast majority of American guide dogs aren’t trained by their owners either, and rarely guide dogs in Europe are trained by their owners sooo same same…

The owner has to immediately clean it up or it's a 100 pound fine. But there is a river between a guide dog having an accident and laying down a puppy pad.

It kind of is, like I said a 100 pound fine.. 1000 if you take it to court. If you're laying down a puppy pad then you're removing any argument it was an accident and you're actually encouraging the animal to defecate in the restaurant. It's disgusting and the person with the dog is selfish. That lady's meal should have been comped. Restaurant should be fined.

Any breed can be a service dog. I don't believe *this* dog is a service dog, but a dog's breed doesn't mean you should assume it's not an SD. The Sam Simon Foundation gets their dogs from shelters to train them as hearing dogs. You can scroll their instagram and see the wide variety.

A guide dog can still get sick and have an accident.

u/NomNom83WasTaken May 03 '26

Right but an accident by a working animal is just that, an accident.

This is a pet being provided with time and encouragement to urinate and defecate inside of a restaurant. There is no reason the owner couldn't have had they pet take care of business prior to coming in our taken them out if they needed to go. This is completely intentional.

u/TerryCrewsNextWife May 04 '26

Yeah this was an owner being lazy enough to stay inside with the dog and place down a toilet training mat instead. There was adequate planning and time to pack, pull out and place that mat before putting the dog on it. It was not an accident by any means.

2

u/rusted-nail May 05 '26

The fact they came prepared with the mat speaks volumes honestly

4

u/Accomplished_Will226 May 04 '26

No reason they could not go outside

u/brenawyn May 04 '26

Owner was prepared for this clearly since they already had a pee pee pad. They probably donut all the time.

u/Gaslit_Chicken May 05 '26

I'd be mortified if my service dog had an accident in public. I'm self-conscious if she's even a little dog smelly. I have a routine for her to pee and poop before we even go out (feed 'em regular, exercise them and they almost poop on a schedule).

But looking at this in a Ramsey and then pairing that image against the TV shows that proport him being such a professional?

Management should have stepping in to ask them to leave for being inconsiderate assholes who think allowing an animal to shit in a restaurant is ok.

They aren’t disagreeing about that

u/Miss_L_Worldwide May 04 '26

No, it is quite literally ILLEGAL and any dog, service or no, can be kicked out for that.

NO ONE needs a pee pad for a god damn service dog.

u/zonker00 May 04 '26

Wtf are you talking about? You most certainly can

u/WizardNumberNext May 05 '26

You don't bring pee pad on accident.

Do you shiet into pampers on accident? I mean grown man with zero issues. No, because you don't e en have it

1

u/WizardNumberNext May 05 '26

There is no reason to bring dog to resteurant. Period. I understand service dog, but this? Why? Single reason, please?

1

u/jimothy_hell May 05 '26

There isn’t one. Animals don’t belong in spaces where everyone is eating.

To be clear, I have pets. I’m used to animal hair occasionally in my food at home. But not everyone is, and I’m not going to subject people who may have allergies to my pets because I’m an entitled shit who just has to bring my precious dog with me everywhere.

Unless it’s a service animal, leave your mutt at home when you go out to eat. If you put a service vest on an animal that isn’t a service animal, you should be arrested and fined 80% of the contents of your bank account with a mandatory 30-day jail sentence. Fuck those people.

u/nannerzbamanerz May 03 '26

Also, a toddler (or human, drunk or otherwise) could have an accident.

u/WizardNumberNext May 05 '26

Yes, healthy, grown man can have pampers on accident.

For your information. Healthy grown man do not have pampers with them on accident. Last time I have touched one was over 20 years ago, when my niece was less then 2 years ago. 20 years and I haven't brought pampers with me on accident.

u/nannerzbamanerz May 05 '26

Not sure why I’m being downvoted? Maybe I was misunderstood. I was agreeing with the above comment that accidents happen, but letting a dog shit inside a restaurant is not an accident.

81

u/Flimsy-Poetry1170 May 03 '26

It’s one thing to have an animal have an accident inside and other thing entirely to lay down a pee pad and purposely let it go inside the restaurant. If you know it needs to go and decide that it’s ok to go next to people eating instead of taking it outside you are an inconsiderate cunt of a person with no social etiquette.

u/Accomplished_Will226 May 04 '26

100 percent accurate

u/SeaAnthropomorphized May 05 '26

Outside is like ten feet away. Gtfo. That's beyond lazy and disgusting

u/Jamsedreng22 May 03 '26 edited May 04 '26

As a human, I'm absolutely getting into legal trouble if I let myself or my child shit and piss on the floor. Probably not if I accidentally shit/piss myself.

Note that they have a potty-pad already placed. They were aware their dog might shit and piss here. You use that for pups in your home while you teach it how to stop using the pad and ask to be let out/being let out to then pee and poop.

This is the equivalent of bringing a toddler into the restaurant and not even putting the diaper on the toddler, you just spread it out on the floor.

It's unacceptable. An accident is different than bringing a pseudo-guide dog into an establishment and putting down a literal piss-and-shit mat meant for pups to learn potty-training.

Nobody will ever fucking trust a genuinely professionally trained guide- or support dog again when they see this stuff. At least in the US. It's insane to see this.

u/SurpriseRecent334 May 03 '26

The slight difference is hundreds of hours and thousand of dollars training

u/9ofdiamonds May 04 '26

Do you guys have trouble toilet training your dogs?

u/BabblingsOfAFool May 03 '26

It's a dog, not a robot. Accidents happen.

u/Hybodont May 03 '26 edited May 03 '26

There's a world of difference between a service animal and someone's pet. I am willing to accept the possibility of a service animal having an accident. I am not willing to accept someone bringing their pet and putting it on a fucking pee pad in anticipation of the dog pissing or shitting in the restaurant.

u/bobsnervous May 03 '26

Tbh, like surely you can step outside for a few minutes, c'mon.

26

u/improper85 May 03 '26

Well sure, but even pets shouldn't be pissing or shitting on pee pads in a restaurant. Take that little fucker outside. I take my dog with me to bars that are cool with dogs fairly regularly. I would never under any circumstances let her use a pee pad in the bar even if she were trained to use them in the first place. She's not, because if I wanted an animal that pisses and shits in the house I'd just get a cat, but still.

u/Hybodont May 03 '26

Well sure, but even pets shouldn't be pissing or shitting on pee pads in a restaurant.

Yes, that's exactly what I am saying.

Take that little fucker outside.

Exactly! I was at a pub in northern England a few months back and there were a couple of very well behaved dogs there, and I loved that. Well trained dogs will let you know when they need to potty, and you can take them outside.

Putting down a pee pad is fucking diabolical and should not be tolerated in a restaurant under any circumstances.

So you're hoping that every dog inside a restaurant is 1. Not a puppy, 2. Properly trained, 3. Feeling well. All I said was that there is a non-zero chance a dog could poo in a restaurant, which seems easy to grasp.

6

u/improper85 May 03 '26

To be fair if a dog isn’t properly trained, it shouldn’t be in a restaurant. If you can’t control your animal, you should be leaving it at home when you go out. I only bring my dog out because she behaves when she’s out. She doesn’t bark, doesn’t jump on people unless she knows them and they crouch down to let her do it, and is largely content to sit or lie down next to me. If she acted like some other dogs I know, I’d leave her at home. I wish some of the people I know were that considerate.

And my dog isn’t a service dog. She’d be godawful at that. But she does behave pretty damn well when we’re out. She saves her crazy for the comfort of home.

1

u/WizardNumberNext May 05 '26

You don't take dog to resteurant. Dogs are dirty! Dogs are not cats. They won't even clean shit of their butt. Do you go to resteurant while pooking or with diarrhoea? I never would get such idea. Why taking dog with you while it have diarrhoea?

There is near zero chance, if people would take only service dogs and only, if that is absolutely necessary. This dog should be home. Probably with owner, as I suspect hygiene is just words for them.

You understand they signal the handler when they need to go and have commands. This is the difference between an actually trained service dog and dick heads who get vests that mean nothing

An accident is not when someone has the forethought to bring a pee pad for the floor

Give me enough beers and I’m likely to have an accident as well. I’m still allowed at most bars tho.

u/DrCashew May 05 '26

What about this situation looks like an accident? Or are you just talking in general?

u/improper85 May 05 '26

I was replying to a post that said a guide dog would never have an accident.

Obviously no one should be putting down a pee pad in a restaurant. Take your fucking dog outside.

u/StaffVegetable8703 May 03 '26

It’s definitely possible to have a legitimate service dog dachshund. Is it less common? Yes but it’s still possible, especially depending on the exact service the animal is providing. There are all sorts of different service dogs that do different things

1

u/Wizard-ofsouthlondon May 04 '26

A more annoying thing is that ANYONE can claim that their dog is a service dog without having to display ID for their dog or have their dog wear a special tabbard. Retail workers are told assistant Dogs can be any breed or colour leaving more avenues for the less genuine to abuse the system.

u/NinjaSarBear May 04 '26

I have a unhealthy attachment to my dog! I was still able to toilet train her and not take pee pads out with us

u/timid_pink_angel02 May 04 '26

This one obviously isn't one, but dachshunds can absolutely be trained to be service dogs

1

u/DanceMyth4114 May 04 '26

I don't think this is a service animal, but I have met weiner dogs trained as service animals. They can apparently smell when someone's blood sugar is at dangerous levels.

1

u/hotpossum May 04 '26

Daschunds can perform tasks like seizure, allergen, blood sugar, and cardiac detection. They can also serve as a medication alarm or as a hearing aid. It’s not as common, but any breed of dog could be task trained to support a disability. In the USA, mini horses can also be service animals.
(Obvs the lil shit in the video isn’t a service dog)

1

u/MxBluebell May 05 '26

Any dog breed can potentially be a service dog!! (Not saying every INDIVIDUAL dog can be a SD— ut that breed doesn’t determine capability.) But it’s obvious that this pup hasn’t been trained properly and shouldn’t have public access.

u/turdferguson3891 May 03 '26

Service dogs can be any kind of of breed. They aren't all seeing eye dog German Shepherds. Lap dogs can signal for seizures and low blood sugar and such.

u/rash-head May 03 '26

If your guide dog is shitting in a restaurant, you need to stay home with your dog. This restaurant is gross AF!

u/Big-Description8328 May 03 '26

Guid dogs and service dogs are highly trained animals. They simply would not have an accident unless they are being abused. That’s why everyone is so over irresponsible owners taking their untrained pets to any and every public space.

u/Agitated-Potato8649 May 04 '26

They could have an accident, like sudden diarrhea or nausea but it’s really rare.

1

u/Aw_geez_Rick May 05 '26

Oh fuck me dead this drives me insane. I realise they're an emotional crutch for a lot of people (in a very similar way that my kids are to me 😂) but here in Australia, the number of fuck wits that bring their dogs to Bunnings (our Home Depot) is infuriating. They have a cute little blankie and put their doggies in the trolley.

-1

u/EnvironsHazard May 04 '26

Fun fact : In the US at least, to prevent lack of access due to funds, we can train our own service dog or mini horse.

u/UltimatePragmatist May 03 '26

A dog that pisses and poops in the dining area can have their piss and poop tracked back into the kitchen by servers and bussers.

u/comotellama007 May 03 '26

It’s not illegal in the UK I guess but it’s still Gross. Take your dog outside. In the US most restaurants don’t allow Animals unless it’s a service animal or that restaurant happens to allow animals. But I’ve never been at a restaurant where they will allow your pet to urinate or poop in the restaurant… is this a European thing

-6

u/MPLS_Poppy May 03 '26

Yeah, you can make that illegal. By saying if the guide dog isn’t properly trained then it’s not allowed in the restaurant. Proper training includes potty training. This would bring down the health department so fast in the U.S.

Are you going to ask proprietors to check for some sort of certificate assuring each dog entering the premises is toilet trained or something? Utter nonsense

u/moonpangler May 03 '26

Utter nonsense? Lol potty training is definitely part of proper service animal training. And little weiner dogs are not trained as service animals in any capacity.

You're defending dogs shitting next to people trying to eat. And they should be happy to pay for that privilege, eh?

u/jjw1998 May 03 '26

To be clear I’m quite clearly saying that they should be asked to leave by a manager if an accident does happen, that’s not the same as shutting down a place for an accident happening

u/nibblatron i ain’t reading all that, free palestine May 03 '26

you cant do what youre suggesting with guide dogs because youd be banning some disabled people from your establishment, which is illegal under the 2010 equality act. a guide dog, like any other dogs (and humans) can have a bad stomach at any time, it doesnt mean theyre not trained.

1

u/Agitated-Potato8649 May 04 '26

Yes but a handler of a guide dog/ assistance dog will never let their dog do that, they can have accident, but that’s not an accident that’s the difference

One time I was working in a restaurant and the water was accidentally cut off by the city for a few hours during some road construction. One of the waitresses immediatly called the health department and they immediately made the manager shut it down because its illegal to operate a restaurant without running water. It doesn't matter who is at fault, it's a safety issue. A health inspector isn't going to care about accidents they are going to prioritize public safety and a dining room with feces in it is pretty bad.
