Our Story
How a burrito, a dog, and years of entrepreneurial experience led to a new hospitality company.
Read Our StoryA pet-first hospitality company built to help hotels and destinations serve guests with pets more thoughtfully.
Dugger Dinners is a national pet-services company created to help pet-friendly destinations—and the four-legged visitors they serve.
The idea began when founder Ken Barlow battled his Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu mix, Dugger, for eating rights to a take-out burrito. That moment raised two simple questions:
When you take out, eat out, or stay out, why can’t you also get something for your dog?
What is truly “pet friendly” about a hotel or restaurant if the pet receives no service at all?
Today, Dugger Dinners works with hospitality teams to create pet-friendly programs that are practical for staff, valuable to guests, and positive for the property’s brand.
