It makes us sad when we hear of places that were once dog friendly no longer being able to open their doors to dogs. Unfortunately, one of the biggest reasons that these places shut dogs out is that dog owners like us weren't taking responsibility to clean up after our dogs. This puts too much strain on brewery staff and on their space.
This is completely understandable from the perspective of a brewery or other establishment. It is also very, very avoidable if we all do our part to clean up after our own dogs - and call on others to step up their game as well.
This clean up doesn't just mean poop scooping. Excessive dog hair, paw dirt, peanut butter smears, drool puddles, and water bowl spills should also be part of this #leavenotrace clean up routine. We can do it!
