Local Dining & Dog Friendly Restaurants

The charm of Vermont’s landscape is equally matched by a wide range of exciting and memorable dining options. Calling ahead  is suggested for most establishments, particularly during the holidays. Most establishments will do take out, some will have Door Dash. Please tell them that The Paw House sent you.

In no particular order, here are some of our faves.
