Going out with your dog, city by city
Each page gathers the places reported as dog friendly. For every other one, the Woofpass extension shows the answer right on Google Maps.
No database in the world tells you completely whether a place takes dogs. Not Google, not OpenStreetMap, not the specialised directories: the information passes from owner to owner, gets lost, and has to be asked again every time. These pages gather what is documented today, city by city — a small share of the places that actually welcome dogs, and it will stay that way until the information is collected where the question is asked.
That is what the extension does: it shows the answer on the Google Maps listing, at the moment you are looking at the place — not in a directory next door. And when nobody has answered yet, you do it in one click. Every answer helps the next owner who opens the same listing.

The questions that keep coming up
Is there a law forcing a venue to accept dogs?
No, and that is the root of the problem. Apart from guide and assistance dogs, which have protected access rights in many countries, a shop, a café or a museum decides for itself. Two bakeries on the same street can give opposite answers — hence the value of a report from someone who went there over a general rule.
Are these lists complete?
No, and on their own they never will be. They gather what OpenStreetMap documents, what dog owners have reported, and the places whose type settles the question — a vet, a pet shop or a dog park. The rest is built one review at a time.
What does the “inferred” label mean?
That the answer comes from the place type, not from a review. A pet shop welcomes dogs: we show it, but we flag it as inferred, never as a first-hand report. An owner's review always takes precedence over an inference.
My city is not here, what then?
The extension works everywhere, on Google Maps listings in more than a hundred countries: these pages are only a window onto the existing content. A city appears here once it is documented enough.
