Pub Launches Menu for Dogs

(CANVAS STAFF REPORTS) - Lunch at a couple of British pubs has gone to the dogs, along with their owners of course. It seems the days of dog owners taking their pups to the pub with only a water bowl set out for them are a thing of the past.

According to the Telegraph newspaper, a pub chain has teamed up with a pet care company to offer pooches a special range of pub lunches just for them.

So now when owners are taking their pups for a walk, they are both more than welcome to tuck into a meal together at the Brakspear -owned pubs.

Thanks to Butcher’s Pet Care a British summer tradition of taking a family stroll and stopping off at a country pub now welcomes furry members of the family, too.

“Now dog owners can sit down to lunch happy in the knowledge their dog is enjoying their meal as much as they are,” says Caroline Coombs, brand manager at the pet chain. "We’ve built our business on feeding generations of family dogs and all our recipes are naturally nutritious and contain all of the vitamins and minerals your dog needs to keep him healthy, happy and fit as a Butcher’s dog.”

According to The Guardian, the doggone menus are being tested in two of the Brakspear locations to see how well they do, including a liver and veggie chunks in gravy variety and a chicken and beef chunks in jelly formula.

"If the menus are a success in the trial pubs, Brakspear would be happy to consider rolling this out across our other dog-friendly pubs," says the bar chain’s commercial director, Tom Davies.
