Do others think that all dogs (apart from guide dogs obviously) should be completely banned from restaurants? I do and would avoid any restaurant that claims to be dog-friendly as these smelly creatures have no place near food.

TTT - to ban guide dogs would be against disability discrimination laws so that's why most shops ban dogs apart from guide dogs.
The thread is not about smelly humans or badly behaved children, it is about DOGS.
As far as being a health hazard is concerned, I am now in my 70s and have lived with dogs and cats around me for most of my life. I can honestly say that all transmittable illnesses I have suffered from have been caught from or caused by humans.
As a dog lover I would be very, very happy to eat in a restaurant that allows dogs. A pub in my hometown allows dogs and I often take mine when eating out with a friend. She is a very pretty little dog and gets a lot of attention from other diners and not because she goes wandering over to them, they come to her.. Oh and diddlydo - she does not smell!
NelliMay......congratulations and I hope it stays that way, but it it didn't, then at least you would be infected by your own animals and not someone else's pets.
I think you can just about guarantee that a guide dog will not stray from its owners feet and will not pester other diners. The same guarantee would not apply to all other dogs.
Mally, unlike you I have had a meal ruined by a dog. He got to it before I did:-(
Ok Sqad. I will answer the question. 'I don't agree. I think dogs should be allowed in restaurants if the owner/landlord permits it'

If the dog is dirty, smelly or noisy then they should perhaps be turned away, and take their owner with them

Nellie....I respect your opinion.

Despite being a Dog Owner I would not patronise a Restaurant that allowed Dogs in.
We take our Dogs to our local Pub but never into the eating area, just the bar.
Likewise if the owner is smelly.
NellieMay - I have visions of a restaurant owner sniffing a dog to see if it's OK to be allowed in.
^^ for nellie^
Squad, I do mix with other dogs too! Just wondering what you can catch from dogs who are on the floor in pubs. Perhaps rabies If they bite your ankles.
Nellie.....viruses, bacteria, tapeworm and many other infections of which i know very little. I admit that dogs are vaccinated against many of these or should be.
Lol bhg. Perhaps landlords should smell their customers too
I wouldn't mind too much as long as they didn't breathe over my dinner and there weren't too many of them. I wouldn't stay in a hotel room that had allowed dogs though.
Constant whining, fidgeting, getting food all over the place, poor training and downright awful hygiene makes me tend to prefer dogs in most circumstances.
//TTT - to ban guide dogs would be against disability discrimination laws so that's why most shops ban dogs apart from guide dogs. // - yes so you'd allow them so you might as well allow non guide dogs.
Not quite following that logic TTT - would that apply to other situations.

Wheelchairs at concerts (in certain venues)at the front, so everyone at the front? (For example)
