Have a great day out with your dog

    Find the best dog friendly locations in the UK

    Exploring the UK with your dog

    Since launching in 2019, we have helped over 125,000 people have better days with their dogs. From people getting to explore their local town and find dog-friendly cafes, pubs, or restaurants – to those that take trips away and are now able to bring their dogs knowing where they can eat and drink! We’re about hospitality for hounds. Dining with dogs. Pubs with your pups. Wherever you go, now you can Bring The Pooch.

    Why do we do this?

    As of 2023, there are an estimated 11 million pet dogs in the UK, and 29% of the adult UK population owns a dog.

    Dogs are our best friends. They’re an active part of our families. We love spending time with them, and they love spending time with us. Bring The Pooch is here to help you find great days out with your dog. Wherever you’re visiting in the UK, you can find dog-friendly locations including restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars. In the future, we will also be listing hotels, walks, and other activities too. What’s more, we think businesses have a lot to gain by catering to dog owners.

    For Dog Owners

    Dogs are pack animals that love spending time with their owners. In addition, many dogs suffer when left alone due to conditions like separation anxiety.

    Bring The Pooch is here to help you find locations that you can bring your dog to, making for a more fulfilling relationship with your pet. Simply start exploring the UK on Bring The Pooch, be it the city you live in or places you’d like to visit, and get ready to have a great dog day out.

    We are currently building listings for restaurants, pubs, bars, and cafes around the UK, meaning you never have to call up and check or try and deduce from Google whether a place is dog friendly. If we list it, it is.

    For Businesses

    Listing with Bring The Pooch is free. The UK high street is struggling due to the rise of the internet, and Bring The Pooch is here to help you reach customers who are out rain or shine – dog owners.

    In addition dog owners earn, on average, £3,000 more per annum than the rest of the population, and more likely to be self-employed or work flexibly, meaning they’re ready to visit you at all hours of the day.

    What’s more, most dog owners are part of a large group and community of fellow dog owners. Classic word-of-mouth marketing is at its most active in the dog parks of the world. If a dog owner loves your business, they will tell other dog owners.

    Keeping our info up to date

    Please note that Bring The Pooch is run by a small team, and we don’t always have the capacity to keep everything up to date! If you visit a location and they’ve changed their dog-friendly policy, opening hours, or even closed then just drop us a message and we’ll get the website listing updated as soon as possible! Thanks for your help in keeping Bring The Pooch a helpful place for all dog owners.
