April is National Pet Month and those looking to celebrate with their beloved pets should head down to the Smith & Whistle. While most bars band four-legged friends, this establishment is welcoming them in with a specially curated drink menu for canines. The dog drinking menu was curated by canine nutritionist David Jackson, ensuring that each sip is both healthy and delicious for all dogs.
The exclusive 'Dogtail' menu at Smith & Whistle currently includes four drinks: The Poochie Colada, featuring kale, broccoli and coconut water, the Hound's Hops, a blend of specially produced dog beer and mint, The G&T: Ginger Tails which combines fresh ginger and tonic and finally, the Bubbly Bow Wow which blends the UK's only dog-friendly Prosecco with liquidized blueberries. Each drink on the Smith & Whistle dog menu is served in special goblets and can be chosen in various sizes.
