On a typical warm weekend at Cold Garden, a brewery in Calgary’s Inglewood neighbourhood, about 100 dogs will join their human patrons as they enjoy a beverage.
Co-founder of the brewery Dan Allard says being pet-friendly has been a big win for business.
Dogs are allowed on the patio and inside the taproom, since they don’t prepare food on site.
“It honestly wasn’t part of the business plan, and it seems silly to say that now given it’s such a big part of our brand,” he said in an interview with Alberta at Noon.
Pet-friendly public spaces, like patios, restaurants and hotels, are more and more common in Calgary.
