is pleased to announce the launch of a directory of pet friendly
restaurants. With record numbers of Americans traveling with their
pets (over 20 million in 2004), so grows the demand for pet friendly
activities. And what better activity than dining out! "Dining
out is a big part of any trip and pet traveling people don't want
to leave their pet behind in the hotel room when they step out
for dinner or drinks. Now they don't have to," comments TRIPSwithPETS.com
President, Kim Salerno.
Although
it is against health code to allow a pet inside of a dining establishment,
many restaurants with outdoor seating would love to host you and
your pet. One pet friendly restaurant owner commented, "I
have turned away human customers since I opened my doors, but
never a single pet." Of course, it's very important that
you follow proper pet etiquette when dining out. Show consideration
for other patrons and make sure your pet doesn't beg for food,
bark or jump. Don't expect the wait staff to serve your pet -
bring along their own travel bowls, food and water. One restaurateur
explained, "If your pet is friendly, we are pet friendly."
