HF 4526 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Dog parks allowed to be established in restaurants and breweries.

This bill allows restaurants and breweries in Minnesota to create designated dog parks on their property. It amends state law to permit these establishments to set up areas where dogs can be off-leash while keeping the rest of the dining area restricted. The legislation requires clear signage and mandates that employees cannot touch the dogs, food service areas remain dog-free, and patrons must clean up waste immediately. This change directly affects business owners who want to offer dog-friendly spaces and customers who wish to bring their pets to these venues.
