Here is a list of stores and restaurants that have been identified at some point as being a dog-friendly. Unless your dog is a service dog, there are not many places that allow pets. Here in Wisconsin we do have patio dining season at some restaurants, but it’s always weather dependent. With the exception of dog parks and trails, this compilation is for Oshkosh only locations.

All dogs need to be leashed and well-trained. Not every guest in the store loves dogs. Some might be genuinely scared of dogs or have allergies. Please do not let your dog get into someone’s space without making sure it’s okay. The local manager has the final say about their pet policy.

It is ALWAYS appropriate to call and check on their current policies before going and then getting upset when they ask you and your dog to leave. Unless your dog is a service dog don’t bring them into a store that’s not dog-friendly (and never ever claim your dog is a service dog just to get them into a store.)
