Having a dog in Shanghai can be difficult—It’s brunch time and you have to leave doggo at home?! Say it isn’t so. Well, here’s a big list of dog-friendly restaurants, bars, and cafes in Shanghai to help you out.

Shanghai is an amazing dog-friendly city. It has become even more so in last couple of years. Just remember to keep your pet leashed!

Please note that your furry friends have to be well behaved, especially if its a family-friendly venue. We don’t want them getting over excited and nipping a child. That would mean hell for the venues…and who knows what people who don’t like doggos will do. *Yes, I’m judging you.*

If you have a big dog, do call ahead and ask if its OK. Some places aren’t big enough or equipped to handle large dogs. So please be considerate!

Also, policies change from time to time. And most times, it’s not a choice made by the venue! Please do call if you are unsure.

To find the addresses, there are plenty of resources out there:
Dianping or SmartShanghai.

There’s even have a “secret paw menu” that you can ask for and get some free treats for your furry friends. “Starbucks Puppucino” which is essentially a cup of cream, and the Starbucks zero-shot Americano (iced water). Cute.

Other dog-friendly venues

If you’re looking for a park to let your dog off the leash, head to West Bund. There are multiple designated areas for dogs to be off the leash. Address: 3398 Longteng Avenue, near Fenglin Lu 龙腾大道3398号, 近枫林路.

Unfortunately both Found 158 and Yong Ping Li do not allow dogs. 🙁

W Shanghai allows dogs if you’re staying there, ¥1,000 surcharge for cleaning. However, no dogs allowed at the F&B venues. Mandarin Oriental and The Middle House also allows dogs for night stays, cleaning fee deposits required.

WeWork — All locations of WeWork allow dogs!
