From a burger at a takeout window to whipped cream at a café to sirloin tips at the local pub, pet menus are popping up all over the country in an effort to cater to a canine crowd.
At Sweaty Betty’s bar in Toronto, dog guests are seated at their own, miniature watering hole designed by owner May Brand. She opened the bar-within-a-bar in December to encourage patrons to bring their pets with them, instead of leaving them alone at home.
Across the country, restaurants, bars and breweries are capitalizing on an increasing number of pet owners keen to bring their dogs to dinner with them. From a burger at a takeout window to whipped cream at a café to sirloin tips at the local pub, pet menus are popping up all over the country in an effort to cater to a canine crowd.
Since Pup Patty launched, Ms. Wang said the fast-food chain has been selling as many Pup Patties as Kids’ Packs – their combo meal option for children. The promotion of the pet-themed product will end on June 23, but Ms. Wang said people will still be able to order the item by just asking. Starbucks similarly has an off-menu item – a small cup of whipped cream known as a puppuccino – that caters to the canine set.
Lynn Switanowski, president of Pet Retail Helper, a business consulting company, said this spending is likely driven by people who are saving money by not having kids and living in small, urban spaces where they don’t want to leave their pets for too long. “For a lot of people, those are their babies or rather fur babies. And they want to go to a place that’s accepting of them, as well as families with their children, so we put a focus on catering to that and it really resonated with customers,” she said.
