Our dogs are part of our family! And they always get a little bummed out as they watch us heading out the door for dinner on the town. I'm no Cesar Milan but I'm pretty sure if they could talk they'd say "HEY! TAKE ME!!"

Well lucky for them (and you) there are many restaurants around Massachusetts that are quite dog-friendly. I rummaged through a bunch of reviews and am prepared to present to you 13 of the Best Massachusetts Dog Friendly Restaurants. I tried to spread the love around a little so hopefully you'll find at least one on this list that's convenient enough for you and Fido to hit up together. Also, does anyone name their dogs "Fido" anymore? Let's bring that back. "Spot" too.

And quickly, before we get to the dog-friendly eateries, I'd like to give a shout-out to MY dog's new favorite Youtuber. Yes, my dog watches Youtube. How 2023-bizarre, huh? Anyway, click this link and show one of the videos to your dog. I'd love to hear if they like it nearly as much as Buoy does.

Thanks to our friends at BringFido. They were a great resource for this list so shout out! Ok... on to the canine culinary countdown!
