You’ve heard of #EatOutToHelpOut right? Well now you can take your pup with you too. Rishi Sunak may not have launched this particular campaign, but WagIt, the London based booking site for Londoners with dogs is campaigning for venues to encourage those with four-legged friends into their venues, and give them a discount for visiting at quieter times.
“I came up with the idea for the campaign following Rishi’s Eat out To Help Out Campaign last year”, says Nadia, Co-Founder of WagIt, the booking site for Londoners with Dogs, “There are 251,000 dog owners in London, and it’s tough to find places that’ll allow you to take your pooch, so while we already help people book dog friendly venues, I thought, why not encourage venues to offer guests with dogs something extra for visiting during their quiet periods”.
Dog owners are more likely to eat out, (or drink) during quieter times as no dog wants to be in a rowdy, crowded pub or restaurant. WagIt are encouraging venues to offer something, similar to the Eat out to Help Out scheme, to encourage London Dog owners and their pooches to book in on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays when their venues are quietest.
“We currently have 27 venues signed up for the campaign across London, with offers such as free champagne on arrival, to free doggie dinners, and even percentage discounts off the entire bill!” Says Leguel, “We’re constantly adding more venues too, so get booking, there’s never been a better time to eat out with your pup”.
