Dogs are social creatures and would like to spend ample time with their owners. And, if that stops you from going out after a hard day’s work, there are several pubs in and around Birmingham where your pooch can tag along.
While there are limited options, some of the top pubs in the city and nearby places would let you bring your dog. It’s time out of the house for both you and your pooch. Afterall, leaving your dog home during the day and night can affect their health and cause separation anxiety.
Leaving them alone for too long could make them disruptive, as experts would say. They could soil your home or destroy something precious. They can be taught polite manners but it’s not always easy to predict how an animal would react when left on its own devices. Taking them to eateries that allow them can be a great way to socialise them as well.
So, for your peace of mind and theirs, here are nine dog-friendly pubs to take your pooch to:
