Some restaurants allow customers to bring their dogs to sit with them in outdoor eating areas. This is an unwise practice and should be avoided. There are many reasons why all restaurants should ban this practice. allowing canines to lounge around an area where humans eat is unsanitary. Dogs carry germs and may spread them to the chairs, tables, and food. Additionally, not all people like dogs, nor do they want to be around them. Some people are even extremely afraid of dogs, so they avoid them at all costs. a restaurant could lose a lot of business from these types of customers. Finally, there is the financial cost that restaurant owners must consider. Restaurants must apply to the city for permits that allow dogs in these areas. The idea to let dog owners dine with their furry companions is meant to attract more business. this practice will likely have the opposite effect. Restaurants should remain people friendly, not pet friendly.
