Check out these 6 dog-friendly restaurants on the SouthCoast

When the weather is warmer you are likely to be out and about with your favorite sidekick — your pooch. And when hunger strikes it can be hard to find somewhere to grab food.

It's hard to leave your furry friend at home when the sun is shining and you both need a dose of fresh air. The only problem is that not many places are dog-friendly.

Luckily on the SouthCoast there are eateries that allow you to feast with your leashed dog, we’ve compiled some spots to hit up with Fido. So, pack up the treats and head out to have dinner with your four-legged friend.
