Dining In & Out With DOGS in Las Vegas NV January 2025

Dining Out With DOGS is just a “Fluff” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all sort of started with my late dog Louie. He always enjoyed going out to eat. When he got elderly he came down with aggressive cancer. We were told that he only had about 3 months and possibly up to 6 months to live. I took Louie out to eat as often as I could and Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out when the weather is right and when I can.

We went to the Great Greek Mediterranean Grill.

We shared two salad rice bowls (one was gyro and salmon)

We did A-OK at The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill.

The next week it was cold for Las Vegas about 55 and so windy that it was too cold to dine out with dogs so the dogs got a car ride and we picked up a Margherita Pizza from Old School Pizzeria.

The next week it was 52 and extra windy so it was too cold to dine out with dogs so they got an In-N-Out double Cheeseburger.

I was expecting a warm up but it was darn cold again for Las Vegas so it was In-N-Out Burger again. It was too cold to sit out a while so we fed them kinda quick on the patio.

The dogs enjoyed the car ride. They also enjoyed looking in the window watching production.

But they enjoyed eating more.

Well that was Dining In and Out with Dogs for January 2025. We hope that you’ve enjoyed and we hope to see you next month!

Dining out with DOGS is just a “Fluff” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all started out with my late dog Louie. He always enjoyed going out to eat. When he got elderly he got diagnosed with aggressive cancer. We were told that he only had 3-6 months to live. Since he enjoyed going out to eat I took Louie out to eat as often as I could and instead of the three to six months Louie made another seventeen months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when the weather is right and when I can.

The dogs and us got to go to the California Fish Grill.

They helped me eat this big plate of Branzino.

“Ummm so good!”

And they also got some fried fish and shrimp.

We’ve enjoyed ourselves at the California Fish Grill.

The next week it was almost too cold to take them out but we made it to one of the Rivas Mexican Grills. We made it to the one with a community patio in North Las Vegas across from Aliante Casino.

The dogs got to eat some beef from a beef taco.

Some Carnitas from my husband’s burrito.

and fried fish from my fish salad.

This week we went to Hawaiian Barbecue #1. That’s enormous amounts of food with usually rice and macaroni salad in Styrofoam containers.

My husband had the #4 Bento and shared some of it with the dogs.

Me and the dogs shared the mini (but it’s not so mini) Mochiko Chicken.

She is so happy to get this food!

He is also very happy.

Here it comes.

We did alright at Hawaiian Barbecue #1

This week I would not have dined out with dogs if I knew how cold and windy it got going to be only 15 minutes away from my house but we dined at Mezzo anyway.

They started us out with complimentary bread and oil that was embellished with balsamic and lemon.

I share just a small amount of the bread with the dogs.

My husband shared some of his sausage with the dogs from his sausage and rigatoni plate.

The dogs also got some salmon from my blackened salmon with squash plate.

I was very careful to give them fish without balsamic on it because all vinegars are harmful to dogs.

We all enjoyed ourselves at Mezzo Bistro & Wine.

Dining Out With Dogs is just a “Fluff” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all sort of started with my late dog Louie. He really enjoyed dining out (so do my current dogs). When Louie got elderly he got diagnosed with aggressive cancer. We were told that Louie only had probably three months but maybe up to 6 months to live. I took Louie out to eat as often as I could and he made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when I can and when the weather is right.

The weather was nice and we went to the Great Greek Mediterranean Grill. We almost always get the salad rice bowls here. Below is the salmon salad rice bowl.

Today the salmon is pretty good. Of course both dogs enjoy some salmon.

This dog also enjoy chick peas.

This dog also enjoys cucumbers.

About to enjoy more salmon.

They also got to enjoy some gyro meat. Today it was on the dry side but the dogs never complain or refuse…….(Louie used to be picky and did refuse some things)

The next week it was cloudy and chilly windy…..I thought it would be too cold and too windy to dine out so we took the dogs to In-N-Out for a cheeseburger and fed some to them on the patio there.

The Dogs always enjoy an In-N-Out double cheeseburger.

It was almost too cold again the following week but we dined out anyway at Mezzo Bistro and Wine. It’s an Italian Restaurant with a nice dog friendly patio.

The dogs got to eat some chicken from my beet salad.

They also got to eat sausage, pasta, and cheese from my husband’s plate.

The dogs were very happy to dine at Mezzo Bistro and Wine.

The Dogs also got to go to Those Guys Pies. If they seem familiar you might have caught them on Food Network’s Diners Drive Ins and Dives. This place specializes in cheesesteaks and pizza. They are very dog friendly and even have a craft dog biscuit vending machine inside so we got the dogs some beef craft dog biscuits.

We all shared a house salad with fried chicken.

And we shared a plain pizza.

We always enjoy Those Guys Pies

Dining With Dogs is just a “FLUFF” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all sort of started with my late dog Louie. He was a very social dog and loved everyone. He also loved going out to eat. When he got elderly he came down with aggressive cancer and was only expected to live 3-6 months. I thought the nicest thing I could do for Louie was to take him out to eat as often as possible. Instead of the 3-6 months Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out when the weather is right and when I can.

The earth is warming and we have had record breaking heat in Las Vegas. At 10:30 it is borderline hot so the dogs got to go to our local In-N-Out Burger.

Here they are at the drive thru.

We fed them some Cheeseburger on the patio.

They always enjoy In-N-Out Cheeseburgers.

The next week it was hot again so we took the dogs to Five Guys and they got a take out burger bowl from there.

They enjoyed the car ride and they look like they are about to enjoy the cheeseburger.

Time to try some.

They always enjoy a Five Guys Cheeseburger.

I thought it was going to be cool the next week. Instead it was another record breaker in Las Vegas…..Oh well…. Off to In-N-Out for a quick cheeseburger. Since they open at 10:30am and have a shaded patio we can give the dogs cheeseburger on the patio before it hits 90 degrees.

The Giant Aussie/Cattledog felt the need to push the Beagle/Chihuahua out of his seat so SHE could watch their cheeseburger get prepared.

Who wants some cheeseburger?

They always enjoy In-N-Out Cheeseburgers.

The Dogs finally got to dine out at SNS Diner BBQ. If this place seems familiar to you then perhaps you saw this place on Diners Drive Ins and Dives on Food Network.

The 1/2 chicken was very good here and the dogs got to enjoy some of it.

They also got to enjoy some of my husband’s Brisket Philly Sandwich.

We all enjoyed our trip to SNS Diner BBQ.

Around the beginning of the month it finally started to get cooler in Vegas so we were able to Dine Out With Dogs. Dining Out With Dogs sort of started with my late dog Louie. Good Old Louie always enjoyed going out to eat. When he got diagnosed with aggressive cancer I took him out as often as I could and instead of the 3-6 months they thought he had Good Old Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when the weather is right and when I can.

We made it to the #1 Hawaiian Barbecue. They don’t have their own patio but only two doors down is a community patio.

I got….I mean we got the maui maui healthier plate (salad & brown rice makes this healthier than white rice and macaroni salad)

My husband (and dogs) got some of the spicy chicken plate.

Gotta feed the dogs some fish.

Mine also came with a hard boiled egg so I shared that with the dogs too!

Who knew the next week would be too hot to dine out with dogs?….So we brought them back a Five Guys Cheeseburger.

They would rather dine out but they always enjoy a Five Guys Cheeseburger.

The next week it was hot again so the dogs went for a ride to the In-N-Out Drive Thru.

Here’s their cheeseburger.

They get to eat the meat & cheese.

They always enjoy In-N-Out Cheeseburgers.

The following it was borderline cool enough to dine out. We tried to dine at SNS Diner BBQ. But they were having some sort of meltdown that day. We’ll try them again in the near future.

We did get to make it out to Those Guys Pies in North Las Vegas. They specialize in Pizzas and Cheesesteaks. If they seem familiar to you it’s because you might have seen them on Food Network’s Diners Drive Ins and Dives. They love dogs here and have a craft dog biscuit vending machine inside. Today they enjoyed some craft chicken dog biscuits.

They also enjoyed chicken from my Lakeside Salad.

They also got to enjoy some cheesesteak.

We try to take the dogs out to eat at least once a week but it has been too hot outside to dine out with dogs in Las Vegas so we are dining in. This is a combination of dining in with dogs and taking them for a ride to get a cheeseburger.

We took the dogs to a Jack In The Box and brought the burger home.

They get to eat about 1/3 of the burger without bread as a treat today and the rest over the next two days.

The dogs never refuse a cheeseburger!

The dogs also got to eat Thai Food from Amazing Thai in North Las Vegas.

They enjoyed Chicken Spicy Basil and Salmon Panang.

Then from Born and Raised Sports Bar in North Las Vegas the dogs enjoyed part of a Texas Burger.

and chicken from their signature salad.

Today the dogs got a cheeseburger from Five Guys.

Today we took the dogs to the In-N-Out to bring home a cheeseburger for them. They know the cheeseburger is coming from someplace inside.

Now at home they get to eat some.

We took out a cheesesteak WITHOUT onions (because onions are toxic to dogs) for the dogs from Those Guys Pies. We just give them some meat and cheese.

That was dining in with dogs for August 2024. We hope that you’ve enjoyed and we hope to see you next month.

Dining IN with DOGS July 2024 – Dogs Eating Cheeseburgers

Leave a reply

I try to take my dogs out to eat at least once a week. It’s good for them. They enjoy going out. But it’s only safe to do when the weather is right. Lately it’s been too hot to dine out with dogs so we take them for a car ride and pick something up for them.

Today we took a car ride to Carl’s Jr.

The Giant Aussie/Cattledog just shoved the Beagle/Chihuahua out of his seat so she could watch the people working at Carl’s.

Look at her face she looks like she is watching television.

Here is their burger.

Onions and bread are removed. The dogs eat a quarter of the burger once a day as a treat.

The dogs always enjoy dining out but also always enjoy a Carl’s Jr Cheeseburger.

Then we took them out to In-N-Out Burger.

They always enjoy a cheeseburger from In-N-Out.

The next week was boiling hot again so the dogs went to In-N-Out Burger again. They seem very interested with the In-N-Out action.

At home they get to eat about 1/3 third of the cheeseburger as a treat for the next two days minus most of the bread.

They always enjoy eating cheeseburgers.

We also did take out from Lino’s Italian.

We took out a couple pizzas and a CHEESEBURGER for the dogs….

Lino’s Special Pizza MINUS the green pepper and onion.

Dog with spinach pizza

other dog with spinach pizza…

You know how it goes.

Dogs always love cheeseburgers

Squeeze Cheese, Chicken Liver & Peanut Butter are helpful to give Medication to difficult Dogs

2 Replies

One of my dogs is older and is now on a lot of medications. This dog is difficult to give medication too. She even spits out pill pockets. She even spits out pill pockets without medication in them. When my last dog Louie was elderly and on lots of medications he was good with special doggy safe meatballs I used to make for him to hide pills. My current dog figured out that pills are inside the meatball so meatballs don’t work for her. The last few weeks chicken liver, squeeze cheese, and peanut butter are the only things that she will take pills in.

Here’s the squeeze cheese.

Squirt a small amount on your palm and insert pill.

Now squirt a little more to hide the pill.

Offer to dog.

Dog takes medication.

Then the slightly bigger pills I try to incase in Chicken Liver (just dump chicken livers from container into a baking dish in a preheated 350 degree F oven for around 30 minutes…you can season sparingly with a very small amount of sea salt and a very small amount of pepper)

Then I use squeeze cheese to coat the pill.

For bigger pills I use peanut butter.

I wrap the peanut butter around the pill and then offer to my patient.

Dining out with dogs is just a “FLUFF” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all sort of started with my late dog Louie. You know Louie always enjoyed going out to eat. When he got elderly he came down with aggressive cancer. We were told that he probably only had 3 months to live…..but maybe up to 6 months………I took Louie out to eat as often as possible since going out to eat was his greatest enjoyment. Instead of the 3-6 months Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when the weather is right and when I can.

Just so you know I am usually a week or so behind with Dining Out with Dogs…..June pretty much began too hot to dine out with dogs so the dining out was actually in May and “In doors”when it was too hot.

We got to go to Hawaiian Barbecue #1 in North Las Vegas. In case you don’t know Hawaiian BBQ is usually big styrofoam containers stuffed with lots of protein and usually rice. This place doesn’t have their own patio but do share a community patio only 2 doors down. My husband (and dogs) tried the Chicken Stir Fry Saimin (Asian flavored stir fry with noodles).

And I (and dogs) had the garlic Mahi Healthier Plate (Maui Fish, salad, brown rice, and hard egg). (with garlic scraped off for dogs) They also had some of the egg.

We happened to have a nice day where we could sit in shade in 85 degree weather so we went to Those Guys Pies in North Las Vegas. They specialize in cheesesteaks and pizzas. If this place sound familiar to you then you might have caught them on Food Network’s Diners Drive Ins and Dives.

We started out by buying the dogs craft chicken dog biscuits from the dog biscuit vending machine that they have inside.

They also got to eat grilled chicken from my Lakeside Salad.

And Cheese Steak from my husband’s cheesesteak.

We always enjoy going to Those Guys Pies

Suddenly it got very hot in Las Vegas but near the beginning of the month we had a windy-not-too-sunny day with shade so we were able to quickly enjoy some cheeseburger from In-N-Out.

They always enjoy an In-N-Out Cheeseburger.

Today it was too hot outside to dine out with dogs. So we took the dogs threw the In-N-Out Drive Thru and brought a burger home for them.

The Dogs always enjoy a Cheeseburger from In-N-Out.

Well That was Dining Out (and In) With DOGS for June 2024. We are hoping for a Monsoon to cool things here so we can Dine Out again soon! We hope to see you next month.

The following week it was cold again and extra windy so we just took the dogs to the In-N-Out Burger Drive Thru and brought the burger home for them.

They enjoyed the Cheeseburger

Bad luck again……The day I planned to take the dogs out was another cold (for here) and super windy day. 50MPH…..so we took the dogs to In-N-Out again.

The Giant Aussie loves looking into the drive thru. She just whacked the Beagle/Chihuahua out of his seat and took it so she can look in the window.

The dogs got to eat the burger at home.

They always enjoy a cheeseburger.

The weather was nice so we got to go to SNS Diner BBQ. If this place sounds familiar it might be because you saw this restaurant on Food Network’s Diners Drive Ins and Dives. They offer BBQ and also offer some breakfast foods. My husband had a three meat platter with bbq beef ribs, hot links, pulled pork, beans, corn bread, and a cup of gumbo.

I …I mean “We” had a two meat plate with 1/4 dark chicken, brisket, slaw, and cornbread……..I really enjoyed the dark chicken here and treated the pups to the brisket.
