Your dog goes everywhere.
But it can't come into your local bar?
You can take your dog down the street, into the shop, onto the patio. But the moment you reach your local bar, a place with no kitchen, the door shuts. It's a rule written for restaurant kitchens, and it makes no sense in bars. Let's change it, sign a petition we can take to parliament.
Canadians Want This
No Kitchen, No Reason
The only real worry about dogs near food is contamination in a working kitchen. Plenty of bars don't have one. No kitchen, no food being made, no reason to leave your dog at the door.
These are bars that pour drinks and nothing more. Yet the law still treats them exactly like a restaurant with a full working kitchen, and bans the dog anyway. That's the gap we're closing. With no kitchen anywhere in the building, there's simply no good reason to keep your dog out in the cold.
Most people don't realise this is already legal in parts of Canada. Ontario changed its rules in 2019, and a Calgary bar has welcomed dogs indoors for nearly a decade. We're asking for one simple change in the law, so the rest of the country can finally catch up with them, and your dog can join you.
Sensible and Safe
We've written a clear safety Code that any bar can follow, the kind a health inspector can approve. Dogs stay on a short lead, on the floor, well away from the bar. There's a dog-free zone for anyone who'd rather not, vaccinated dogs only, and any aggression means the dog goes with no second chances.
We've also put the full case to policy makers in a detailed white paper, with the law, the evidence and the safety Code all laid out together in one place. Nobody is forcing a single bar to take part. It stays the venue's choice, every time. We're simply asking for one outdated rule to change, so bars can say yes where it's safe.
Stand Up and Be Counted
Every name is one more reason for the people who make these rules to listen. It takes ten seconds to sign the petition.
