Dog Lounge Rules

For the comfort and happiness of our Shiba Inu crew, we kindly ask that you don’t bring your own dogs to the café. If you're just stopping by for a quick takeaway, however, you're more than welcome to bring them along! Our pups are full of personality and love interacting with visitors, but they can get a little frazzled with new furry friends in their space. To ensure a calm and joyful experience for everyone (including our four-legged stars!), we keep it a Shiba-only zone. Thanks for understanding!

Do’s

  • Supervise Children at All Times

    If you're with little ones, please make sure they're gentle and follow the rules. If not, we may have to step in!

  • Respect the Shibas' Space

    Our Shibas are the stars here! Let them come to you. If they want cuddles, they'll happily show you, but not every Shiba wants attention all the time.

  • Pat Gently on the Back, Sides and Under The Chin

    Most Shiba Inus love a good scratch on their back, sides or under the chin. Avoid sensitive areas like their heads, belly or tail.

  • Let the Shibas Approach You

    Shiba Inus love their independence. They may come and sniff or nuzzle you when they're feeling friendly-patience is key!

  • Feel Free to Take Photos and Videos (With The Flash Off)

    Our Shibas are used to the paparazzi, but please keep the flash off to avoid startling them.

Donts

  • Don't Run After the Shibas

    If a Shiba walks away, don't chase them-they need their space.

  • Don't Pick Up The Shiba Inus

    Even though they're adorable, most Shiba Inus don't enjoy being lifted up.

  • No Loud Noises or Shouting

    Shiba Inus are sensitive to loud sounds, so let's keep our voices soft.

  • Avoid Sudden Movements

    Sudden actions can startle our Shibas. Move slowly and gently to keep them feeling safe.

  • Don't Disturb Sleeping Shibas

    If a Shiba Inu is napping, please let them snooze. A tired Shiba needs their beauty sleep!

  • No Pulling Tails, Ears or Fur

    Pulling on any part of a Shiba can hurt them.

  • Watch Your Food!

    Please avoid bringing in food and feeding our Shibas. Certain foods, like chocolate, can make them very sick.

Despite plenty of walks. our Shiba Inus may have accidents. and we're ready to clean up any messes just let a staff member know if a Shiba has a little "oops!" Keep in mind your belongings are at your own risk and if they get dirty or fur covered. it's all part of the fun!
