Facts About the Doghouse

Our Season:  Memorial Day through Labor Day.   

Our Hours:  5:30 p.m. until 9 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays

Our Condition of Operation:  In the event of inclement weather, we sometimes bring the Hungry Dog indoors.  If there is no room at the Inn, however, we might need to close the door to the doghouse.  To confirm, please call our office at 203-488-3805.

Payment:  The dog doesn’t accept credit cards, but you may utilize your pre-paid, Owenego Club Cards.  For your convenience, we have installed an ATM machine upstairs.

 

Sharing Fee:  The dogs approve of sharing, but we must charge a minimal fee of $3. per shared meal.

PLEASE NOTE:  While our aim is to please, the size of our doghouse does not allow us much room

for flexibility.  As such, we cannot accommodate substitutions.  Thank you for understanding and

for choosing to have a light bite at The Hungry Dog!
