The details behind a good day out.

We start with the people who set the rules.

Our guides reference park authorities, local governments and the venue’s own published policies. Every source has a link, the section we used and a date when we checked it.

Permission belongs to a specific place and area.

We separate allowed areas from exclusions. A dog-friendly campground does not make its beach dog-friendly. We preserve leash conditions, seasonal restrictions and known pet limits.

AI helps read and organise the information.

AI-assisted source checks are labelled as such. They are not presented as a visit, a first-hand experience or a human inspection. Source check dates are distinct from the date a rule takes effect.

Dates tell you what was checked, and when.

“Checked” is when the cited information was reviewed. “Retrieved” is when we collected the supporting copy. “Updated” marks a published change that matters to readers; fetching a page again or replacing a photo does not refresh it. Source details and available update records appear at the end of each guide. These dates use UTC; opening hours and seasonal restrictions use the destination’s local time.

Unknown information stays unknown.

Missing fee information is not a promise of free entry. Missing weight limits do not prove that all dogs are accepted. When sources disagree or a change needs checking, we cannot confirm the visit.

Pictures have different jobs.

Our brand illustrations depict imagined outings. They do not show a particular entrance, pet-access boundary or real venue. Location photographs have a recorded source, image credit and reuse basis. A photograph of an old sign does not establish the current rule.

Check again before leaving.

Published policies cannot confirm live closures, parking, weather, table availability or hotel inventory. Follow current signs and the operator’s instructions.
