We’ve got you….!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we sniff out the best spots for you and\u2026 well, Spot (????), here are a few thoughts as to why you\u2019ll love heading out to one of Melbourne’s furbuous dog cafes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The great thing about dog cafes is that they are made for dogs. This means that the \u2018no dogs on the couch\u2019 rule probably won\u2019t apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just because things are a bit more relaxed at a dog-friendly venue, it doesn\u2019t mean that all the rules have gone out the window<\/strong>. There are a few things you should still keep in mind. You don\u2019t want to be THAT fur-parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember that every<\/u> pooch and their people are there to have a great day out with their best friend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re planning to take your doggo out to one of the dog cafes in Melbourne, it\u2019s a good idea to start teaching them some table manners<\/strong>. This will make the experience so much more enjoyable for you, your pooch, and the people around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what you can do to prepare your dog beforehand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n So without further ado, here are the best places in Melbourne and Victoria to enjoy a great day out with your dog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s on-leash only in the surrounding area but there\u2019s a penned-in area so if it\u2019s quiet your dog may be able to enjoy their treat in there. Drinks and snacks for the humans are available just across the way at the Rattling Red Cafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paws Up Cafe is a new doggo cafe on the scenes with food and treats for dogs and humans alike! On their menu for peeps you\u2019ll find your breakie favourites (all-day), salads, pasta and an extensive list of drinks. For the furry ones there\u2019s drinks, hot food and deserts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paws Up Cafe is a new doggo cafe on the scenes with food and treats for dogs and humans alike!

There\u2019s individual penned areas where you can sit with just your dog and there\u2019s an open area for pawties or social dogs. All the dog treats and the dogachinos are made fresh and on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the Gap Cafe there\u2019s a selection of food for the humans and dogs! And it\u2019s not just for greyhounds – all breeds are welcome to relax. Greyhounds however will typically be present on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As well as tables around the garden area, the Dog Cafe has an undercover area in a shipping container – perfect for one of those not-so-great weatherwise days that we have in Melbourne! And we had this area just to ourselves on our visit. There\u2019s also a sandpit and a ball pit in their off-leash area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s something many of us love as much as our dogs (well, nearly!)…..chocolate! Gourmet pet chocolate has to be the eye catcher here! Now your dog can enjoy the fun too! And for the pooch with a birthday approaching their cakes are fest for doggo eyes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wally’s is a purpose-built dog caf\u00e9 that\u2019s mobile to celebrate, spoil and show off your furry best mate. Your dogs are sure to love their grazing boxes! Also on the doggo menu is dog beer, dog lamingtons and dog donuts! But it wouldn\u2019t be complete without pupcakes and puppachinos! Check their socials to see where they are going to be popping up or hire them to come to your pawty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n And lastly, one for the cat lovers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This isn\u2019t a cafe that you visit with your cats but a social experience where you dine with the company of the venues friendly cats! You need to book ahead for this one! The day we went to head there we weren\u2019t able to visit because there wasn\u2019t a time spot available. No children under the age of 8 are permitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And if you’d love to have this info as a downloadable guide to keep and take with you <\/em>\u2b07\ufe0f \u2b07\ufe0f \u2b07\ufe0f<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n \u00a0<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/puppytales.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Blog-Title-The-Best-Dog-Cafes-In-Melbourne-Victoria.jpg\")
