Guest   #4 Posted January 9, 2009 You need a poll.  As with children in some pubs, dogs are perfectly fine as long as they're well-behaved and quiet. Keep the wet ones out of the food area, as the smell of wet dog puts me off my lunch (but again, that goes for children too ) .

fiveof   10 #10 Posted January 9, 2009 can't see a problem with it as long as they're "pub trained" and don't crap on the floor! we take all our dogs on hols with us and there are many more places on the coast that allow dogs in, more than likely because they depend on it to earn a living. obviously as a dog owner i'd chose the place that accepts dogs over the one that doesn't, and there are an awful lot of people who take their dogs with them on holiday.

bigbear   10 #11 Posted January 9, 2009 whilst i like dogs, the sight of any animal in the food preparation or service area of a pub will prompt me to immediately call the Food Safety Team at the council to lodge a complaint.  similarly, if i am having a meal or a drink, and a patron's animal (typically a dog, rarely a cat) performs in a way that i feel might create a health and safety issue, i will lodge a complaint.  i have called them a few times in the last few years and still have their phone number stored in my mobile.  FYI, it's 0114-273-4415 to report any occurances per the above.

scoobz   10 #12 Posted January 9, 2009 Dogs should never be a problem in pubs, because the people who take them in are dog lovers, and therefore usually have well-behaved well-trained animals who don't cause problems. By this I mean as opposed to the council estate scroats, who pretend to be animal lovers but let their dogs roam all over the place.
