You may not know it…but the City of Houston specifically forbids pets (except  service dogs) at restaurants, inside or outside.

So no pooches on the patio.

We think it’s a silly rule.  And many of our customers have told us the same thing.  Many cities, including Dallas, give restaurants the choice.

We are a city which prides itself on the lack of zoning so it seems a strange choice to restrict where we take our pets.  Plus it’s a city which has spent a lot of money the last few years on dog parks.

Houston wants to be a livable, walkable city.  Montrose was even named one of the top 10 neighborhoods in the country.  I bet a great neighborhood includes people who love their pets.

We’ve heard that the new mayor supports giving restaurants the choice to allow pets outside.  So let her know.  Let your council member know too.

I guess Dallas is smarter than Houston.

Puhleeeeeze can I go to Ziggy's?
