| Restaurants This may be a really dumb question but we are thinking of taking our puppy with us when we go to my Mom's this summer. What do you guys do when you stop to eat at a restaurant. I understand that dogs are not allowed in most restaurants unless perhaps they have a patio. Do you just eat fast food? Is there any way of keeping a carrier cool while it is in the vehicle? We can usually see the vehicle from inside most restaurants but there is still the issue of the vehicle getting too hot inside. Thanks for any advice you might have. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | We usually frequent resturants with patios. Unless you have a very well behaved and quiet pup...you could place in a carrier and sneak in. I wouldn't under any circumstances leave one in a vehicle in the summer. Ever.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Hi, we take Béatrice in whenever we go to a restaurant enroute to Québec City from Montréal.We always put her in her bag and keep it zipped,she can still see through the mesh.To date she has been perfectly quiet,just a few whimpers when we are getting ready to leave the restaurant. We haven't tied taking the 2 of them together yet,but we are planning a trip to my home in Nova Scotia this August.By then Sébastien should be pretty good to take in restaurants in the bag with his sister.We just have to get a bigger bag,so we can put the 2 in 1. |

| Pretty much, if we are traveling with the dogs our stops are very limited. We generally only eat fast food. 9 times out of 10, its' drive-through too. If it's a nice cool day, we may leave them in the vehicle while we quickly run in.

| I've never been one in to sneaking a dog in. You could take 2 sets of keys for the car, leave it running while you're going to go in to the restaurant. I wouldn't leave mine out there for too long though. When we travel 800 miles to Illinois to visit my Mom, we go through drive thrus, then pull over and eat. Then when we're visiting, we leave the dogs at my Moms house |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Know the state laws where you will be driving. Some states such as Arizona have a law against leaving a pet in a car any time of year. We have had our Yorkie to California, Arkansas and Montana. We eat fast food sometimes but sometimes we take her in the restaurant with us in her carry bag. She is very quiet usually just lays down and sleeps. I keep the bag on the floor under the table and when we walk in and out I put a sweater over the top and opening, and put the screen side next to me. In summer I get cold in some air conditioned places so I carry a sweater all the time. Booths work well you can put the bag between your feet and the wall with the screen side facing the wall. When we get in the car I give her a tid bit of our dinner for being a good girl while we ate. Nobody even notices her.

| When driving from NorCal to SoCal I bring Genghis in his carrier usually to fast food, quick stops. Usually they don't care. Patios are great, but sometimes they still don't allow pups on there, it's up to the restaurant. Some restaurants let you bring in the pup if the carrier is fully closed. Now that it's warmer there are a lot more options. I hear in Seattle there are many dog friendly restaurants. I've never been there before, but it makes me want to go. |

| Well I guess I will look into seattle for the next vacation for sure. However I'm not sure what to do there other than take Genghis everywhere |

| I saw an adult English Bulldog the other day while walking my baby outside. With a "booster" outside of a restaurant window, it had its shoulders upwards planted on the inside part of the window sill (I couldn't tell if he actually was able to reach the dining table) of an otherwise classy restaurant. The owner(s) must have been dining inside and had the window pulled up/open with their dog draping on the sill. It was soooo cute. The dog had his harness on and I didn't note it, but it was likely tied outside. I guess this technically met the health board regulation standards in keeping the animals outside... albeit, not just with one foot in the proverbial door, but instead with "two" feet in the literal "window". LOL. I take mine in with me and give her some food/treats before zipping it up and then once we're out, she pops her head right out and waits expectantly for more yummies. After getting her treat for being a good girl, only then will she hop out of her bag. |

| I have an automatic start on my car so I set the air conditioning and sit at a window and restart it when it goes of so she stays cool. We usually aren't more than half an hour so I only have to restart it maybe twice. |
