Why We Love Dog-Friendly Breweries
As St. Louis' preferred dog walker and pet sitter, we know how important it is to include your fur babies in social activities. These breweries aren't just places to grab a drink – they're community spaces where both humans and dogs can socialize and enjoy quality time together!
Need someone to walk your pup before hitting the brewery? Or maybe your four-legged friend needs a potty break while you're enjoying happy hour? That's what House of Paws is here for! We'd love to help ensure your brewery adventures are stress-free and fun for everyone. 🐾
