‘The Conrad in Dublin do afternoon tea for dogs, we had to partake' – Pet lover pens new guide on best dog-friendly places in Ireland
Wexford People
While some customers may blanch at the thought of having a four-legged furball sat at the table opposite them, may retch at the prospect of a hairy hound staying in the same hotel as them, Ireland is slowly becoming a more dog-friendly nation. We have always been a country of dog-lovers but now, as our canine companions become more embedded in our lives, owners are searching for new places to bring their dogs, places which go beyond the usual parks and playgrounds.
It was during the pandemic that Tony Walsh first thought about writing a book about the best dog-friendly locations in Ireland.
