Hot Dogs, hamburgers and Milk Bones? Doesn’t sound like your typical kids menu – That’s because these items are for your four legged friend and not your kids! Within the last few years more and more store and restaurant owners have been catering to customers traveling with their dogs. By offering hospitality services for pets, such as handing out free treats and putting out fresh water bowls, businesses can entice more people to stop by their shops. Some restaurants are even allowing specific seating areas complete with dog friendly menu items where dogs can dine with their owners. The extra attention is just another way for business owners to offer unique customer service that distinguishes them from the rest of the pack.
