3. Cafe Bones

Did you know that Sydney is home to the world's first dog cafe? Well, that's what the team at Cafe Bones are claiming and hey, who are we to argue!

The coffee at Cafe Bones is organic and fair-trade, the menu is stocked with sandwiches, heaps of sweet treats, and even a dog menu to indulge your four-legged pal with a bone-shaped cookie or Pupaccino™.

Cafe Bones is the number one meeting spot for locals who don't want to leave their pooches at home - even Dog Whisperer Cesar Milan stopped by during a trip to Oz!

4. Puppadeli Pet Cafe

At Puppadeli Pet Cafe in Lane Cove, pet nutrition comes first! 

Pet nutritionist and pet care adviser Naoko Okamoto has designed a Japanese-style dog menu with a focus on nutritional content and taste. Organic meat and fish straight from the Sydney Fish Markets are served up to your pal. Some serious thought is put into every dish, which is always 50 per cent meat, 25 per cent grain and 25 per cent vegies.

You can order three-course meals for your dog, including an entree of soup, a lamb omelette, and a cupcake and doggie cappuccino to top it off. In case this dog cafe couldn't get any more loveable, you can host your pooches birthday party here too!

Location: 1/22 Rosenthal Ave, Lane Cove

Another dog cafe in Sydney welcoming furry friends in all shapes and sizes, Puppy Tail Cafe is located right next to the off-leash dog area in Blackman Park - you can't get more dog-friendly than this!

Puppy Tail Cafe is quite small, so it's geared more towards takeaway than dining, but it's the perfect spot to grab a coffee and a treat while your dogs enjoy the fresh air of the park.

Location: Lloyd Rees Dr, Lane Cove West
