Why we built this

Rupert is a three year old Sheepadoodle with a lot of energy, strong opinions about beer gardens, and a habit of coming everywhere with me.

Every weekend, we'd spend ten minutes Googling whether the pub, cafe, or brewery we wanted to go to would let him in. Half the time the answer wasn't online. The other half, it was wrong.

So we built Is It Dog Friendly, an AI powered tool that checks venue websites, Google listings, and customer reviews so you don't have to.

Venue policies change, so we always recommend calling ahead to confirm. If you've been somewhere with your dog and think our result is wrong, hit “Submit an update” on the venue page. Rupert will be grateful.
