Love this local ice cream place

This is one of our favorite places to take our greyhound for sundaes (for both the humans and the hound). It has a great covered porch that is perfect to get sun or shade depending on what you are looking for while you enjoy a delicious sweet treat. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming!

Good location for riverfront access

This location was close to the shops and restaurants on the River Walk. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but it was cramped with a greyhound (barely room next to the bed for her larger dog bed). I understand that city hotel rooms are often smaller, but it was a bit annoying to have to climb over the dog every time I got out of my side of the bed. The staff were all friendly to my pup, but there were no special amenities extended, not even a welcome biscuit. At $75 per night for a pet fee, I would have expected a little more. You also have to use valet parking for an extra fee, and it took them 30 minutes to find our car upon checkout.

Remarkable location with stunning views

We loved our stay at the Damy cottage right next to the vineyard with stunning mountain views. The decor is fresh and modern with a “cottage-y” feel, and it is well stocked with anything you might need in the kitchen and bathroom. The relaxing front porch with a porch swing included overlooks the winery tasting room with the mountains in the distance behind more vineyards. The staff were very welcoming to us and our pup and allowed us to taste wines with her right beside us in the Pavilion and outside on the beautiful grounds. Highly recommend!

Charming library feel in casting room

We thoroughly enjoyed our tasting of unique wines and meads from around the world, all while seated in comfy antique inspired furniture with matching decor. They were very welcoming of our greyhound who appreciated getting out of the sun for a bit. It was nice to relax and get out of the hustle and bustle of shopping for a bit while enjoying good drinks!

Great atmosphere and so dog-friendly!

We stumbled upon this place by accident and quickly added it to BringFido so others would know about this little gem of a cafe! The breakfast was wonderful and the atmosphere of the place was so enjoyable to us and our greyhound. There were three different seating options for us: outside tables under a covered roof, tables outside in a lovely back garden area or on a screened in back porch area (which we chose). The staff were kind and very dog-friendly. We really enjoyed this place!

Great vibes and great food

We brought our greyhound for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the evening atmosphere under the lights on the large patio. Our pup was welcomed with a bowl of water and a dog menu. We had a wonderful dinner (Salmon Rockefeller was delicious!), and the hound loved her burger patty with broccoli. They gave her such a large portion that we took leftovers home for her breakfast and dinner the next day as toppers on her regular food. Highly recommend!

Beach House Resort Hilton Head
Beach House Resort Hilton Head in Hilton Head Island, SC

Great location on the beach

One of the few “on the beach” hotels in Hilton Head and it’s dog-friendly, too! Great location with easy access to the beach and to the “downtown“ of Hilton Head, Coligny Plaza, which is right across the street. Nice, spacious rooms with a very comfortable bed. Only gave this 4 out of 5 stars due to the somewhat annoying key bracelet system that is very finicky on most entry doors to the hotel.


Ye Olde Tavern

New England Charm

We sat out in the spacious front patio with our greyhound on a warm fall evening, but still enjoyed the heaters that were provided. (Note: you are placed on large-sized gravel, so bring a blanket or bed if your dog is bothered by this). Loved the quaint colonial-feel inside and out. Our meals were delicious, and our pup absolutely loved the beef tips that we ordered for her from the Puppers Supper Menu. Highly recommend this place!

Large outdoor space with very dog-friendly atmosphere

This is a great restaurant with a large outdoor covered patio area on a lovely shaded street. They have an indoor-outdoor bar with an additional outdoor bar as well. The menu features some lighter Italian dishes with other fare as well. The staff was so dog-friendly, offering a bowl of water and even gave our pup a “doggie” meatball to eat. That was her favorite part of the visit!!

Wonderful Farm to Table Cider House

Delicious small and big bite items along with pre-made or custom made cider flights are available at this easily accessible “off-the-beaten-path” cider house. There are several outdoor dog-friendly locations to enjoy your tasting and/or meal. They also have a nice small shop inside with locally-sourced grocery items. Well worth the visit!

Fantastic wines with a fantastic tasting room experience!

This small family winery makes excellent wines due to their hands-on approach. They give a wonderful tasting with lots of shared knowledge about the wine-making experience. They are very dog-friendly in both the smaller tasting room and larger event space or at outside locations. Very much worth a stop when you are in the Finger Lakes!

Perfect boat ride for our Grapehound event!

We brought a large group of greyhounds on this scenic ride of Seneca Lake as part of our annual Grapehounds greyhound gathering. This was a wonderful experience! The air-conditioned lower deck room is carpeted with folding chairs that allowed us to easily make room for our pups. The staff were extremely dog-friendly and accommodating!! We highly recommend Capt. Bill’s to enjoy wonderful views of the lake along with interesting information that is provided along the way!!

Very comfortable, dog-friendly place to stay

Spacious and comfortable hotel suite with dog-friendly staff throughout. Easy access to grassy areas with dog-waste collection stations in several areas. You also get to enjoy up close views of the Mohawk River! The rooms are carpeted, which our greyhound appreciated since slippery floors can be a challenge. Would recommend a stay here!

A cute little dog-friendly store

The staff member was so welcoming when we came into the store with our very own "Black Dog" greyhound! She was immediately offered water and a treat. As we did our shopping, we received a few more treats, which made this a favorite stop for our pup!

Enjoyed a relaxing stay!

We brought our greyhound during mid-April when the town was just starting to wake up for the season, so we were able to enjoy a quiet, relaxing time without any crowds. Everyone was very friendly and welcomed our pup, with dog treats always readily available at the front desk. The two room suite was spacious, very nicely decorated, with comfortable furniture. We were on the first floor with sliding glass doors out onto a patio next to the harbor docks. It was so relaxing to be right on the water! We went to the on property restaurant twice (breakfast and dinner), and the food was delicious both times. Highly recommend a stay here!

Delicious Small Batch Chocolates

We had a wonderful dog-friendly experience in this brand new shop. The owner’s husband and son did a fantastic job explaining the different flavors and even let us sample a few bonbons before we made our purchase. They discussed the possibility of making dog-friendly carob treats in the future. Either way, the “human-treats” were well worth the stop!


Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum
Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, MD
April 17, 2025

A very well-designed museum

Even though dogs aren’t allowed inside the buildings, this is still a great place to visit. The grounds are well kept, the staff was very dog friendly (offered a treat and a bowl of water to our greyhound), and there was a lot of great maritime information! It’s best to go with a partner so you can take turns going inside the buildings to get the full experience. FYI - you are allowed to take the dogs into the ticket area of the welcome center to purchase the tickets for your visit.

Attentive Staff in early April

We enjoyed our meals a lot and the staff were very attentive to our needs as we sat on the patio with our greyhound. They had no problem with us moving tables to get out of the wind and even turned the patio heater on for us as it was a cool evening. They checked on us often even though we were the only ones sitting on the patio. We had a great experience!

They are super dog-friendly inside a cabin atmosphere or outside on the expansive (uncovered) deck surrounded by Adirondack looking woods. They serve a variety of delicious craft-cocktails, local wines & beers, and soft drinks. They have recently added tasty handmade pizzas. Your pup will be happy to receive a biscuit from behind the bar! (Be aware, there is a cat on premises named Jimbo, who was friendly to our greyhound but may be wary of more excitable dogs!)

Great wines enjoyed in a dog-friendly outdoor space

We enjoyed the wines from this family-run winery outside on a spacious patio while horses grazed in the yard beside us! The staff were gracious and checked on us to see if our greyhound needed anything. We later found out that the horses were part of a nearby farm that offers rides followed by some wine-tasting. We enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and great wines!

Dogs are welcome inside and out by a very friendly staff. Both offer gorgeous views of Keuka Lake. This winery stands out in the Finger Lakes region as having a true French flavor, as it is owned by a married couple who are both from France.

Unique Guided Tasting

One of the very early Finger Lakes farm wineries from the 1970s. Still small, so you get an intimate guided tasting. During the winter months, you are inside sitting on benches or rocking chairs beside a fire in a fireplace while your guide gives you the history of the selection of sweet or dry wines. They were very dog- friendly and offered treats to our greyhound several time!

We waited until Thursday (our last day of vacation) to go, only to find out that advance reservations are needed…and you can’t make same day reservations. Very disappointing.

Firehouse Cabin
Firehouse Cabin in Sevierville, TN
June 27, 2023

Amazing views…just not as amazing as the pics lead you to believe

This was a great cabin on top of a mountain with amazing views. However, the pics on BringFido are a bit old, as the trees have grown quite a bit and are in the way of half of the view. Still pretty amazing, though. A few caveats about this place in regards to your pup:
-the floors are all bare wood or laminate and can be slippery for some dogs
- there isn’t much of a spot to use outside for potty needs and you need to be very aware of cars coming from either direction without much warning or room to get off to the side
- the only way to get to the second floor is a spiral staircase (which our greyhound can’t do at all)
- if your dog gets carsick, this may not be the place for you as the only way up and down the mountain is a narrow, winding road which takes about 10 minutes one way
That being said, we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have loved the relaxing vibe being surrounded by nature in this comfortable cabin!


Wild Bear Tavern

Great porch overlooking the beach

Seafood-based menu with Caribbean-inspired items. Two deck options - one covered, one full-sun. Gorgeous views directly on the beach with center of Atlantic Beach activity. We loved our dishes and everyone was very dog-friendly.

Easy to access from Hotel across the road

Found this dog- friendly bar across the street from our Doubletree hotel, which is also dog-friendly. Casual, friendly atmosphere with lots of craft beer options and a few quality wines.

Great State Park!

This is a great State Park to visit (for free!). Great trails to walk on, beach to stroll on and Fort Macon is cool to explore. Dogs are allowed everywhere but inside buildings. Well worth a visit!

Great little local deli

Even though you are in a plaza, the owners of this local deli have created a little oasis in the side yard. A turf grass lawn is great for the dog to relax on. Plenty of seating at picnic tables with umbrellas with music softly playing from speakers. A dog waste station is conveniently located on the side of the yard. Large deli menu with delicious food. Highly recommend!

Easy walking trails (small elevation changes)

We thoroughly enjoyed our walk on the trails in early April. Easy walking, although there are slight elevation changes and roots to pay attention to. Lots of poop stations with bags and garbage cans. Nice, handicapped accessible bathrooms as well. There is a disc golf course throughout the park.

Secondary location (Atlantic Beach)

We stumbled upon this little beach bar when staying at the Double Tree (dog-friendly) hotel across the street. Realized that The Growler had been listed on Bring Fido for Emerald Isle, but not Atlantic Beach. Both locations are very accommodating to all pups! This is laid back and very casual, but an easy place to enjoy a craft beer or wine while giving your pup an outing.

Very Dog-friendly, but a bit disorganized

Very laid back, with good seafood fare. However, it was a bit disorganized when we ate here. It may just have been situational for that day. The staff were very friendly and willing to accommodate our greyhound. We sat on an uncovered deck with great views of the harbor.

Very Dog Friendly Winery

Enjoy seated wine tastings with your leashed pup at this very dog-friendly winery. Lots of indoor or outdoor seating options. Mostly wines, but also have some beer and cider options with Mediterranean-style small plate food offerings. Well worth a stop!

Classy and Pretty with a Great view

While the view is great and the lawn is expansive, this winery is definitely more geared towards their wine club members. Dogs are allowed in the lawn area, so if you want shade, your pup will need to be under the table when it’s too windy for umbrellas.

A uniquely designed building with mosaic art and horticulture with attractive view of rural countryside nestled in the rolling hills. Very dog friendly and worth the trip of the beaten path to try some good wines!

Convenient To Interstate Park

This well-maintained family- oriented park is an easy on-off to interstate 86. It features a pavilion with picnic tables, benches, playground and porta-potties nearby. There are two trails available for you and your pup. One goes around a fishing pond and the other is part of the local Rails-to-Trails system. Great all-around Park!

Great Drinks And Gourmet Bar Food

Unique building is a entertainment by itself. A downstairs mini pub with a much more expansive area upstairs (if your dog can do stairs). Nice outdoor deck with a gorgeous view of Seneca Lake. Excellent craft beers, limited selection of cider and wine with delicious bar fare. Well worth a stop!

Easy Rails-to-Trails Walk

This is an easy rails-to-trails path to take your dog on with multiple entry points and lots of dog-friendly amenities (waste pickup bag dispensers at several locations on the trail along with garbage cans, drinking fountains for both you and your pup at each end of the route, and access to the Warrenton Dog Park at the in town trailhead). Each entry point has a well displayed map showing your location along the trail. Plenty of shade along the trail so you and pup won’t get too overheated. An enjoyable three mile (round trip) walk!

Nice Stop Off 81

Plenty of regular indoor seating and nice outdoor patio seating for you and your pup. (Don’t be fooled by the tables on the front sidewalk - much bigger patio out back. ) Limited menu available but enjoyed what we had. Recommend the fried chicken sandwich and especially the tater tots! The bar offers good quality craft beers, with local wine and cider offerings, too. It should be noted that this brew house is no longer associated with a BBQ place next door, as it closed down. It was a peaceful rest stop for us on our travels with our dog! We recommend it for you and yours.
