The rules behind dog-friendly patios
Florida keeps pet dogs out of restaurants unless the city or county has opted in with its own rule, and then a restaurant needs a permit for a designated outdoor area (Section 509.233, Florida Statutes). Dogs stay on a leash and out of the indoor dining room, except service animals.
