Not all but most many restaurants in Metro Phoenix Arizona have patios. NOT ALL PATIOS are Dog Friendly but more and more are these days. Even if a patio is certified “Dog Friendly” It’s a good idea to dine with your furry friend at off times to avoid conflict with humans or other dogs that don’t share your love for your furry friends. Some people are allergic to dogs and there are those who just hate dogs and will complain. Even though your dog(s) are well behaved another dog might start barking at your dogs and you might be asked to leave. These are just some of the reasons why dining with Dogs at off times is suggested. There also are some rules to Dining Out with Dogs. Your Dog must be by your side at all times. Dogs are not allowed to sit on restaurant furniture and are NOT allowed to eat off restaurant plates. Another thing to be aware of is that most food and drink that you consume might be unhealthy, harmful or even TOXIC to your dog..You MUST get the list of safe and non safe foods from your veterinarian. Usually a small amount of lean meat without sauce is usually a safe bet. In Phoenix there are months when it’s too hot and DANGEROUS to dine out with your dog. Dogs can’t tolerate as much heat as you can. All dogs are different (just like people) some are more heat tolerant than others. My dogs can tolerate up to a SHADED 90 degrees F. IN THE SHADE. Your dog(s) might NOT! It’s also a good idea to bring your own water bowl so your dog can have a beverage too. OK now that we got that out of the way…..

Here are just a few of the Restaurants in Metro Phoenix I found to be Dog Friendly.

Connected to Pomo Pizzeria in Scottsdale used to be Forno Fabri. It’s now Luna Gelateria. You can get a really great Gelato or Sorbetto and enjoy a little time with your furry friend.

Cucina Tagliani (Glendale & Peoria) is certified Dog Friendly. They offer a covered patio with misters and heaters. Depending on the server you get you dog might get served a bowl of water.

Tacos Tequila Whiskey in the Arcadia part of Phoenix is Dog Friendly.

Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery in Phoenix isn’t officially Dog Friendly but they have a secret folding table that they will set up for regulars that come with a dog (or two). I do note when we dine with dogs we always dine at off times when there are very few people there.

The Twisted Italian in Peoria has two tables for Dining with Dogs. They are listed on www.BringFido.com

Humble Pie ……Glendale (I believe this area is really Phoenix but is listed as Glendale because it used to be…The zip codes changed three times since I’ve been near this area) This Humble Pie is officially Dog Friendly with a shaded patio with heaters and fans.

PNPK Restaurant in Scottsdale is Officially Dog Friendly and serves individual bowls of water and biscuits to well behaved dogs.

Sosoba in down town Phoenix is Dog Friendly.

Pita Kitchen is not officially Dog Friendly. But we asked if we could dine with dogs and they gave us the ok. I do note that we always dine at off times when nobody else is on the Patio.

Bottega Pizzeria Ristorante in Glendale is Officially Dog Friendly. *******On Sundays they serve Sunday Brunch with live music on the patio and the music is too loud for dogs so while I do recommend the restaurant for humans I don’t recommend for dogs only during Sunday Brunch) Dog Friendly every day. They offer a nice covered patio with heaters and it looks like misters in the ceiling.

Dogs are Welcomed with Dog Biscuits at Salad and Go in Glendale.

Not officially Dog Friendly but there are four tables for dining with dogs at Leo’s Island BBQ in Peoria.

Shake Shack in Scottsdale is Dog Friendly. They even have a Dog Food Menu and sell Doggie Shirts.

Oscar’s Pier 83 in Glendale offers a Dog Friendly Patio.

Rhythm and Wine in North Scottsdale is Dog Friendly. I read on website that they offer a Yappy Hour on Sundays around 3:00.

JJ’s Deli in Scottsdale is Dog Friendly.

AJ’s Patio in Glendale is Dog Friendly.

These are only a few of the Dog Friendly Patios in Metro Phoenix.

Everything is subject to change. Restaurants close or change ownership and often drop being Dog Friendly. I had SEVERAL restaurants go from Dog Friendly to NOT Dog Friendly…….Again. Everything is subject to change.
