The Ultimate List: Dog Friendly Shops and Cafes in Solihull
There is nothing quite like having an 'Anywhere Dog'—a calm, confident companion who sits happily under your table while you enjoy a flat white, or strolls by your side through high street shops.
Thanks to the Solihull BID initiative and local business enthusiasm, Solihull town centre is one of the most dog-friendly shopping destinations in the West Midlands! Dozens of shops, cafes, bars, and retailers proudly display the official "Dog Friendly Solihull" BID window sticker and welcome well-behaved dogs inside.

Café & Shopping Etiquette Rules for Dog Owners
- Short Lead Control: Always keep your lead shortened so your dog stays right by your side and cannot approach other shoppers, children, or food displays.
- Bring a Dedicated Settle Mat: A portable, non-slip mat gives your puppy a clean, familiar place to lie down on cold shop or cafe floors.
- Check for the BID Sticker First: Look for the official "Dog Friendly Solihull" window sticker or politely check with entrance staff before walking in.
- Ensure They Are Toileted Before Entering: Take your puppy for a quick relief walk in Tudor Grange Park or Malvern Park before entering indoor retail venues.
