Reviving an old thread as I couldn't find a newer one and have recently acquired a dog. I'm looking for somewhere local for a work lunch but generally would be good to know what establishments since this thread was originally posted are OK with dogs. Franklins looks like a yes, what about the Palmerston which has changed management/ownership? 

Thanks in advance for doggy intel!

Split this into a new 2024 topic. The posts in the old thread were from 2016 and now factually incorrect.

Leave your dog at home, please. It’s not going to enjoy it, at best it’ll endure it. If you’re blind, then of course bring your dog to the pub/cafe/office and expect lots of good wishes and respect, maybe even a treat for Rover, but if not, please don’t (or sit outside). Not everyone likes dogs and some are thoroughly frightened or allergic and to ignore this is solipsistic and self-centered. (I like dogs a lot but only in the home or the park.)

ED is super dog friendly in my experience. All the pubs are dog friendly, as is Brunos and Drop wine bar, plus Oru and pretty much all the coffee shops. In terms of restaurants nearby(ish), Peckham Cellars and Kudu are both super welcoming to dogs. It's great to take your dog out with you for drinks/food as it really helps to socialise them, plus it really adds to the atmosphere in some places. Enjoy!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the wonderful Gowlett so far.  Very dog friendly and usually a water bowl out for them.  Our dog loves going there because it means pizza crusts!  

It's good to see that a number of shops are dog friendly too as it is no longer safe/acceptable to leave your dog tied up outside.  It always feels frustrating when you pass a place where you would like to pick up some bread or milk, yet you have to go home with the dog first.  

Very surprised at the comment that dogs are not welcome in other countries as I've not seen this anywhere apart from places that have an issue with strays, which is a completely different matter.  Dogs paws have walked on exactly the same streets as people's shoes, so why do they present a hygiene issue?

Thanks for all the tips. I don't drink anymore so am very rarely in pubs but it's good to know where I can take him with me when I'm doing errands. He is usually fine tied up outside a shop for a short while anyway. Once he's used to staying home alone, I won't need to take him everywhere with me. As he's a rescue racing dog, he's glued to my side as he's convinced I'll leave him and not come back.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
