Wetherspoon’s dog ban in all pubs comes into force today
From today, the pub chain has barred pooches from entering more than 1,000 of its pubs and gardens
JD WETHERSPOON has BANNED dogs from all of its pubs across the UK from today.
Even though technically the pub chain banned pets back in 1979, some branches continued to allow ";some exceptions".
But now, man's best friend is barred from entering Wetherspoon pubs for good and they can't use the gardens either.
The blanket ban is being blamed on hard-working staff being fed up with cleaning up dog poo from the premises, an employee told .
A Wetherspoon spokesperson told The Sun that the decision was also partly down to dogs being unpredictable, especially around young children.
He said: "We welcome a lot of children and families and younger children in particular can be unpredictable around dogs and many are scared of dogs.
"After much consultation, we will now be strictly enforcing this [no dogs] policy everywhere.
"In order to give those affected time to adjust we have set a deadline of Monday, September 10, 2018."
Of course, all branches will still allow assistance dogs in with their owners.

'Spoons boss Tim Martin has promised lower prices at his chain of pubs after a "no deal" Brexit.
The pub has also raised the stakes by adding halloumi fries to the menu and they cost £3 each.
Although prices at JD Wetherspoon can vary by up to 60 per cent based on where you drink, even if the pubs are just a few hundred metres apart.
