On weekends and our beautiful summer days, it is not uncommon to see Perth residents taking their canine companions for a strolls and stop off for a coffee or a bite to eat. But what about your pooch?

Luckily, there are now many places in Perth, and across WA, that are ‘pet friendly’ and this month we have a look at just some of the great places you can both enjoy.
