1. The new arrangement at a glance: when does it start? How many restaurants?<\/h2>\n\n

On 9 July 2026 the FEHD announced the quota of restaurants allowed to admit dogs, covering all districts across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories<\/strong>. Here are the points dog owners care about most:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Effective date:<\/strong> from 9 July 2026, approved restaurants may begin admitting dogs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Quota:<\/strong> 1,000 restaurants drawn in the ballot, with the remaining applications placed on a waiting list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Background to the ballot:<\/strong> the FEHD accepted applications from 18 May to 8 June and received 2,205 in total. After verification, an open ballot was held for the remaining 1,616 eligible applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
    \n

    Tip: restaurants operating mainly as hot pot or barbecue venues are not eligible, so these will not appear on the list for now.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

    2. How do you spot a “dog-friendly restaurant”?<\/h2>\n\n

    Once an applicant has completed the procedures and been formally approved, it will be issued a designated A3-sized notice<\/strong>. From 9 July, approved restaurants must display this notice at all times in a conspicuous spot at the main entrance, so that the public can identify them easily.<\/p>\n
