Not sure how to keep your furry kids entertained?
When life gets too busy, it can be time-consuming or stressful trying to figure out how to keep your furry kids entertained at home or even at a dog-friendly cafe. Consider keeping them active and occupied with enrichment toys!
Lunoji offers a wide range of enrichment toys that make it fun for your pets, allowing them to feed themselves while having fun at the same time. The best part is that you can easily bring these toys out with you while dining at any of these dog-friendly cafes or restaurants.
F.A.Q
1. Should my dog be leashed or unleashed?
As a general rule of thumb, do ensure your dog is on a leash as some customers and/or their pets may not like it if they are approached. This helps to prevent any unwanted fights against other dogs as well. There are some restaurants and cafes that allow dogs off-leash, but always check with staff before you do it.
2. Should I bring anything along with me to the cafe/restaurant?
You can consider bringing water for your pet as some cafes/restaurants don’t provide water bowls. You should also bring along a dog mat to ensure your dog has a more comfortable experience, while also using it as a ‘place’ location for your dog to settle on. To keep them occupied, bring along some toys such as Lunoji Enrichment Toys so they won’t be so restless. Selections that encourage licking, such as the Trove enrichment cup or Twirl lick mat work best in such situations!
3. What is the best time to dine with my pet at these dog-friendly cafes/restaurants?
Since it can be crowded during peak hours such as lunch or dinner time, it’s recommended to visit with your pet during non-peak times like weekday afternoon or early morning. If the restaurant you are headed to only allows pets outdoors, consider going in the evening to avoid the heat.
4. Do I need to feed my pet before going to the cafe/restaurant?
As some of the cafes/restaurants don’t serve food for pets, it’s best to give them something light before going out. You can also bring their favourite treats or a frozen portion of their meal in a Trove enrichment cup.
Conclusion
Taking your furry kids out while you indulge in scrumptious meals and refreshing drinks is always a good way to bond with them. If you have the luxury of time, consider exploring some of these dog-friendly restaurants in Singapore every once in a while to spend time with your fur kids and loved ones.
Additionally, starting in 2025, more restaurants in Singapore will welcome dogs as alfresco dining areas will no longer require SFA approvals. This means dog owners can bring their pets to even more eateries across Singapore, so you’re not limited to just these options!
