Never seen anyone bring their furry to coffee places before but excited to read that so many have already done so! Donno (aka Goldie) only goes for road-walks, car rides and to the 1U park so far. Will definitely try out a coffee place with outdoor roadside seating soon. She's not really small, but is clingy enough to stay still and not cause any disturbance.
Wonder if the Coffee Bean at The Curve or Starbucks at Ikano are ok too since they have outdoor tables next to driveway/roadway. Anyone tried these?

It's a great puzzle about the Starbucks in Ikano. I took my Fluffy there and one indian store manager was really cool about it and he even gave Fluffy a friendly pet.
But the other day, there were Malay staff and he practically told me not to put my Fluffy on the chair, and the only place they will allow is on the floor, outside the handrail...
So basically I was having a really bad experience there. I mean, can't they be a bit standard? Last time we bought some salad and I gave some to Fluffy as well and no one said anything...
So basically I gave up on going to Starbucks Ikano even tho it is like 3 minutes drive from where I stay...
Try 2 remember 2 golden rules ven visiting a café:
1. Dog must b on d floor at all times
2. Dog must not b fed from table, water is fine
Hv 2 b a bit tolerant n considerate ven bringing ur dogs 2 public places particularly makan minum places. Just look at it from d mgmt’s point of view…it only takes 1 customer 2 complain bout d fur on her backside or bout dogs indulging in d same menu she’s just bout 2 hv. N d café can get in2 real trouble if d customer lodges an official complaint 2 d health authorities.
So dont take it 2 heart. As much as mgmt wants 2 let ur dog in2 d premises, dey hv 2 look after d customers needs 1st. V hv been there a few times n normally sit outside n find it truly relaxing just 2 hv our dog beside us whilst sipping our iced coffee. Dont create a fuss by putting d dog on d chair or feeding him at d premises, otherwise pretty soon all dogs will b barred from d premises. Try n appreciate d little comforts dat our dogs hv. Dey dont seem 2 mind, so why shld u. __________________________________________________

sitting on d floor and sharing our food generally is ok unless d outlet(s) are at their peak time.
if u're upset with the idea of furkis having to sit on d floor, then do bring along your own cushion / cloth to be placed on the floor for furkid to rest. we do that in case he floor turns out to be rather "sticky" on certain days.

HI Fawn,
I think most of the time complain comes when the dog is mostly sitting on the chair and some even go to the extend of allowing the dog sniffing at the food on the plates on the tables or allow the dog to put a paw on the table sides.
Most of the time even to kopitiam I bring my furkids to they are mostly ok with them being on the floor and also at times on the chair (of course a distance away from the table n other people)
I have seen some who have fights with the mgmt over their fluffy lil doggie being shooed of the chair onto the floor. (guess they are just not prepare to bath the dogs on that day).
Your advise here is very much appreciated and it goes a great way in educating people on how to behave with the dogs in the public restaurant. Keep up the good work ya !

How true Mingyg, by placing d dog on d chair, v r effectively inviting him 2 sniff n paw at d food n drinks…n den all d big hoo haa will start with customers, mgmt n cleanliness.
In Msia, v hardly hv any dog friendly parks (no thanks 2 dog owners who dont clean up), wat more dog friendly cafes. So v really shld b thankful dat some cafes do tolerate our pets n owe it 2 dese establishments 2 hv our dogs on deir best behavior. Dun create a fuss…after a while, all customers will hardly notice n treat ur dog as a regular. D idea is 2 get people 2 c dat dogs with deir owners at makan-minum places r not such a big deal after all n can seem like good fun …n not d other way round.
Of course, if u r at a non-halal café owned by a dog lover n all d customers seem 2 like ur dog, den having him on d chair is a possible option. __________________________________________________

think basic training oso preferable too, owners should train their dog not to eat when the owner say NO! or maybe stay when owner asked to so that this wont disturb others.
