There is no reason to leave your furry friend at home while you head out for a meal in Perth when the Fair City boasts so many dog-friendly venues.
Even if you don’t have your own four-legged friend, heading to a dog-friendly pub, cafe or restaurant means you might get some cuddles in with someone else’s friendly pet.
Whether you fancy breakfast, lunch, dinner, a coffee or a pint, there’s a place in Perth for you and your pooch.
Brew & Chew
This High Street cafe is the obvious choice for dog owners and lovers in Perth. Not only does Brew & Chew welcome dogs with open arms, it also has a separate dog menu.
While you tuck into your meal or a slice of cake, your four-legged companion can enjoy a doggy sausage, puppuccino or pupcakes.
The cafe also has a range of drinks, including smoothies and milkshakes, and uses locally roasted coffee beans from The Bean Shop around the corner.
