The Hong Kong government is considering a new pet policy that would limit diners to a maximum of two dogs in restaurants. This decision follows feedback indicating the need for better control over dogs in dining spaces. The proposal aims to amend regulations that have prohibited dogs in eateries since 1994, with a plan to license 500 to 1,000 restaurants initially. Licenses would require a fee, and specific rules regarding dog behavior and restaurant operations will be established. The amendments are expected to be reviewed by the Legislative Council soon.
