Opened in 2007, Sunnyne Pet Café is a great place for both dog owners and the petless to come spend time with man’s best friend. Not only are you free to bring your furry friend with you, but owners of the café also run a myriad of services including Pet Bath (pet beauty care), Pet Kindergarten (pet education), and a Pet Hotel. Visitors may purchase pet products at the café as well. The café even boasts a staff of professional “fur stylists” (with more than ten years' experience), skilled in a variety of grooming methods and styles. The three-story Pet Hotel, in particular, offers clean, spacious amenities for pets (the first floor for big pets and the second and third floors for small/medium-sized pets). The café also holds celebrations and events for pets and pet owners on a regular basis. Not a dog owner? No problem! Sunnyne Pet Café is a great place to spend time with these wonderful animals, regardless of whether or not you have your own dog. Upon entering Sunnyne Pet Café, (after you’ve been greeted at the door by a small pack of barking dogs) staff will guide you to your seat where you’ll be lovingly mauled by at least several dogs, who will (more likely than not) make themselves at home on your table, lap, or at your feet. In place of an entrance fee, each visitor is asked to order an item from the menu. Make sure to keep your drinks at the center of the table, for your safety and the safety of the dogs (not to mention the safety of your drink!). Since dogs roam around the café at will, make sure to be careful when moving about.
