Hi,

that sounds terrible.
What do you do when you go hiking with your dogs?
In my area hardly anybody would go hiking without stopping off in a hut, restaurant or lodge for food and drinks.
Seriously, what do you do?

As my mother used to comment when we lived in Germany - dogs seen in public there were, in general, much better socialized and behaved than dogs seen in public in the US, as they were allowed much more access to different situations. You wouldn't dream of seeing a dog in most indoor public places here. We have just a few stores where we can socialize - pet stores, feed stores and some stores that sell construction supplies. Mostly, if we go in a restaurant, our dogs must be left at home, or left in the car (which is impossible for much of the year in my warm state). When hiking, we always take our own food...and being America, there usually is a McDonalds within 15 minutes from any destination with a drive-thru service window if you get in a pinch.

When you go in the city, you see more restaurants with outdoor seating areas - some allow dogs.

Hello Michael,

As others say you have to bring your own food or do take out.. Back packing maybe and ask the dog to carry some..

Actually at least in the state of California, dogs are not even allowed in outside open air farmers' markets by public health officials.
