The weather is finally nice enough to sit outside and enjoy a couple cold beverages and/or some food. And, as we all know, whenever we can be outside comfortably in Minnesota, we generally will want to do that.
DON'T LEAVE THEM IN THE CAR
There are also times when we want to have our pet with us. Can't leave the dog in the car, but they want an outing too. Plus, if you are walking, so that you and your pet can get some exercise, you may want to stop at a place where your best friend will also be welcome.
BREWERIES – PET FRIENDLY
I have noticed that a lot of breweries around the area will even have some water dishes set out for dogs to get a drink and cool off a bit. I have a diva dog, so I have a little collapsible bowl that I can carry with me. I mean, this dog. If there is a floatie in his water he will look at it, then look at me and back at his bowl. Other dogs will just drink out of a puddle, not mine.
AREA PET FRIENDLY PATIOS
Here are some of the places around St. Cloud that allow man's best friend to hang out with you on their patio.
Most area fast food places will allow pets too. If they have an outdoor seating area. Pets are generally not allowed inside unless they are service animals. And if they are, they need to be marked as such.
