Venue Finder by the Atmosphere You Want: Beginner

The venues on Inucomi are places you can visit with your dog. Even on your first visit with a dog, you can choose venue conditions by the atmosphere you want. Conditions on dog size and number of dogs differ by venue; if you are going with two or more dogs, please check with the venue that all of them can come in and that each of them will be comfortable.

Answer the questions to find out which type you are.

  • The Terrace Type

    You want to spend time with your dog while feeling the outdoor light and breeze. Choosing venues by the "terrace" and "easy to enter even on your own" conditions makes it easier to stop for a relaxed break at an outdoor table. Which seats dogs are allowed at differs from venue to venue, so please check before you go. A good next step is to decide that your dog's spot will be at your feet. Have your dog lie down under the table or right beside you, and keep the leash on and held short. The easy thing to overlook is your dog moving towards passers-by or other dogs while you sit at an outdoor table. Just decide before you leave home that you will not let your dog approach anyone without asking them first. How comfortable an outdoor table is also depends on that day's sunshine and temperature, and on your dog's age and the season. Even a short stop is plenty. If anything about your dog concerns you, such as their energy or the way they walk (including when you are seeing it for the first time, or are not sure whether it is usual), do not wait and see by adjusting the seating; please consult a veterinary clinic early. Clear up any food dropped from the table and any spilled drinks, including alcohol, before your dog can get to them. Whether at the venue or on the way there and back, dogs may pick up things on the ground, such as fallen leaves, nuts or seeds. If you realise your dog may have eaten something, contact a veterinary clinic straight away, without waiting and watching, whatever it was and however small or large the amount. Even at night or on a day the clinic is closed, do not wait until the next day: contact your regular clinic or an out-of-hours veterinary emergency clinic. Note: These are general suggestions based on each venue's listed information. Where dogs are allowed (indoors, on a terrace and so on), conditions on dog size and number of dogs, the seating and opening hours differ from venue to venue and can change, so please check with the venue before you go.

  • The Interior Type

    You want to enjoy the space of the venue itself, from the interior to the tableware. Choosing venues by the "stylish space" and "roomy seating" conditions makes it easier to keep a spot for your dog at your feet. Table size and layout differ from venue to venue, so please check before you go. A good next step is to prepare a place for your dog to lie down. Laying a towel or mat at your feet makes it easier to turn the space under the table into your dog's spot. The easy thing to overlook is that, while you are looking at the interior, your dog's body can end up sticking out into the aisle. Just check, as soon as you sit down, that your dog's body is not out in the aisle. How long a dog can stay settled also varies with age, the season and how your dog feels that day. Even a short stop is plenty. If anything about your dog concerns you, such as their energy or the way they walk (including when you are seeing it for the first time, or are not sure whether it is usual), do not wait and see by adjusting the seating; please consult a veterinary clinic early. Clear up any food dropped from the table and any spilled drinks, including alcohol, before your dog can get to them. Whether at the venue or on the way there and back, dogs may pick up things on the ground, such as fallen leaves, nuts or seeds. If you realise your dog may have eaten something, contact a veterinary clinic straight away, without waiting and watching, whatever it was and however small or large the amount. Even at night or on a day the clinic is closed, do not wait until the next day: contact your regular clinic or an out-of-hours veterinary emergency clinic.

  • The Homely Type

    You want to relax while chatting with the staff. Choosing venues by the "homely" and "lunch" conditions makes it easier to settle in during the daytime. Lunch hours and conditions for bringing dogs differ from venue to venue, so please check before you go. A good next step is to check the venue's website or phone ahead to confirm that you can bring your dog. The seating layout and the conditions on dog size and number of dogs also differ from venue to venue, so please ask about them at the same time. The easy thing to overlook is that, while the conversation is flowing, you keep less of an eye on your feet. Just do not let go of the leash, even while you are chatting. How long your dog can stay relaxed also varies with age and the season. Even a short stop is plenty. If anything about your dog concerns you, such as their energy or the way they walk (including when you are seeing it for the first time, or are not sure whether it is usual), do not wait and see by adjusting the seating; please consult a veterinary clinic early. Clear up any food dropped from the table and any spilled drinks, including alcohol, before your dog can get to them.

  • The Hideaway Type

    You want to spend time in a calm space without feeling watched by others. Choosing venues by the "hideaway" and "no stairs to the entrance" conditions makes it easier to look for venues where you are likely to settle in, among those with no stairs up to the entrance. The entrance layout (including small steps) and the number of seats differ from venue to venue, so please check before you go. A good next step is to make the space under the table your dog's spot. Even if other customers have dogs, there is no need for your dog to greet them. Lying at your feet is enough. The easy thing to overlook is that, with a venue that is hard to find, you may end up walking further than expected before you get there. Just check the route on a map before you go out. How far your dog can comfortably walk and how comfortable they are also vary with age and the season. Even a short stop is plenty. If anything about your dog concerns you, such as their energy or the way they walk (including when you are seeing it for the first time, or are not sure whether it is usual), do not wait and see by adjusting the seating; please consult a veterinary clinic early. Clear up any food dropped from the table and any spilled drinks, including alcohol, before your dog can get to them. Whether at the venue or on the way there and back, dogs may pick up things on the ground, such as fallen leaves, nuts or seeds.
