(QCOSTARICA) – What’s better than taking your four-legged family member to a restaurant with you and enjoying a quick bite, a nice meal or just a cup of java.
What you probably didn’t know is that there are a number of restaurants in and around San José that allow you to hvave your animal by your side.
Never try to head into a restaurant with your dog unless you it is friendly to pets, ask before entering or sitting down in the patio. Hopefully you already know that.
If you happen to be new to this, don’t be surprised at the reaction of people and your dog. You may want to read Cesar Millan’s 5 tips for dining out with your dog first.
