LOS ANGELES (CNS) In some Los Angeles County restaurants, dogs will be made to feel as welcome as their owners under a new policy announced today.

Starting immediately, eateries with outdoor dining areas have the option to invite dog owners to chow down with their pets, county officials said.

The policy, while familiar in Europe, has been a long time coming in the Southland due to fears of worms and germs, and, perhaps, because of worries that canines will ``order'' everything on the menu.

"After carefully reviewing possible risk factors that may be associated with allowing pet dogs in outdoor dining areas, we determined policy revisions were possible.'' said Jonathan E. Fielding, the county's top health officer.

"Guidelines have been established to protect food safety and ensure safety for all patrons,'' he said. ``We urge all dog owners to follow these guidelines in order to provide the best possible dining experience for both people and dogs.''
