Before you go

  • Check the rules. Milwaukee County dog areas require a dog license, a current rabies vaccination, and a DEA tag. Up to three dogs per owner.
  • Expect outdoor seating. Under Wisconsin's food code, dogs are generally allowed only in a food business's outdoor seating area. Places that welcome dogs inside are the exception, so call ahead.
  • Watch the heat. Pugs overheat quickly. Go out early or late and bring water.
  • Keep it short. Flat-faced dogs tire faster, so take breaks in the shade.
  • Know when to stop. Heavy panting, drooling, or stumbling means it's time to head inside.

How we list places

Each listing shows its dog policy, the source it came from, and the date we last checked it. Places are added only after we confirm the policy. If something has changed, tell us, and we'll update the listing.
