A Little Dog-Mom Advice Before Your Coffee Date
As much as we love taking our dogs everywhere, not every pup dreams of spending Saturday morning on a busy café patio. Some would rather sniff around a quiet park, enjoy a peaceful walk, or curl up on the couch at home.
And that's perfectly okay!
If your dog is sensitive to noise, unfamiliar people, or other dogs, choose a quieter café, visit during slower hours, and pay attention to how they're feeling. Bring water, treats, and a comfortable leash, and never feel obligated to stay if your pup seems overwhelmed. The cutest coffee date is one where both of you are having a good time.
