About MUTTS Canine Cantina

MUTTS Canine Cantina® is an innovative concept that is unrivaled in its space. While many restaurants allow dogs to dine on a patio while leashed, MUTTS offers a dog friendly cantina as well as off leash parks for small and large dogs, allowing dog lovers to enjoy all their favorite things, in one great place - good friends, great food and drinks and a fun outdoor environment.
MUTTS is a place where dogs can run, exercise and play in the fresh air - and dog owners can relax and socialize, while spending time with their pets and catching their favorite game or featured show on large screen televisions. Our private dog park(s) offers daily passes, monthly subscriptions or annual memberships. There is no admittance fee to eat in the Cantina.
Franchisees will have their choice of a building fully equipped with a kitchen for delivery of our MUTTS menu, or the ability to choose a building module with the equipment necessary for the bar and work with food truck vendors for food delivery.
