Dog Lover FAQs
Why is iLoveDogFriendly.com better than other directories?
i Love Dog-Friendly is the most comprehensive directory of dog-friendly establishments available online today. Its format is simple to navigate and its advanced search functionality makes it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. The website is backed by i Love Dogs, Inc., which has a large national presence and sponsors the AKC/USA Agility World Team and SPCA International’s Operation Baghdad Pups program, and also supports many charities. Because we work closely with dog-friendly establishment owners, we can offer iLoveDogFriendly.com visitors exclusive deals.
Can I really take my dog to these establishments?
Yes! Some establishments do have size limits or other conditions (for example, the dog must be crated). Any exceptions are clearly noted in our listings.
Do I have to let the establishments know I’m bringing my dog?
With the exception of hotels and other lodging, you generally do not have to alert the establishment. In fact, many establishments have placed our i Love Dog-Friendly decal on their windows to make it clear their businesses welcome your dog!
What if I find a dog-friendly establishment that is not listed in your directory?
Please let us know by completing the simple submission form available on our website. We will add the establishment to our directory and hopefully provide a special offer for iLoveDogFriendly.com visitors. To show our appreciation for your submission, we’ll send you a dog-friendly gift!
