More Dog-friendly Businesses
Interesting article in the San Diego Union-Tribune today about a group of businesses who are working together to change their area’s policies on dogs in parks.
Customer-hungry merchants in Escondido are hoping to attract more business by welcoming dogs, and in turn their owners, to downtown.
The Downtown Business Association of Escondido … is hoping to expand the dog hospitality that some businesses already have shown, such as Vinz Wine Bar’s doggie nights, to the rest of downtown and even to Grape Day Park, the only park downtown, but which bans dogs.
“We would just like to have downtown dog-friendly so people who have dogs can bring them downtown, take them to some of the stores, and not have to tie them up outside,” said Thora Guthrie, CEO of the downtown business association.
