For dog-friendly businesses

Help dog owners find your restaurant, brewery or hotel, and show them your dog policy clearly.

Woof Wag Nation helps dog-friendly restaurants, patios, breweries and hotels become easier for dog owners to find. You can claim a free listing, choose Pro or Sponsored placement, or ask Web Leveling about web design, SEO, review management, video marketing or custom app development.

Plans and prices are laid out below.

How do dog owners look for places that welcome dogs?

They search first, then check the details. A dog owner typing "dog-friendly brewery near me" wants a name and a map. The next search is usually about policy: are dogs allowed inside, is the patio the only option, is there a pet fee?

Dog owners plan around this. The American Pet Products Association's 2024 report says 55% of dog owners tailor travel plans to their dogs. In a 2024 Harris Insights & Analytics survey of 1,594 pet owners, 80% of dog owners wished there were more pet-friendly places to take their pets.

What helps them choose is a concrete policy: dogs inside, outside or only on the patio, leash and behavior rules, size or number limits, fees, whether reservations are needed and which hotel rooms allow dogs.

How do I claim or upgrade my listing?

Start by finding your place in the directory. Claiming it is free, and the directory plans page lays out every tier.

Pro is $19 per month or $190 per year, and it adds more photos, a longer description and extra ways for visitors to reach you. Sponsored is $29 per month at the founding rate, or $290 per year, for one category-city page. Each page has at most two Sponsored places.

Plans are open to dog-friendly restaurants, patios, breweries and hotels. When you are ready, claim or upgrade your business listing through the contact form.

How should I show my dog policy on my own website and Google Business Profile?

Your own website and your Google profile are the first places a dog owner verifies a policy, so they should match.

State whether dogs are allowed and in which areas: indoor seating, patio, beer garden, hotel rooms or lobby. Add leash, supervision and cleanup rules, any size, breed, number or room limits, pet fees and deposits, and whether reservations are needed. Write "dogs allowed on the patio only" if that is the rule, instead of a broad "pet-friendly."

Google says business attributes appear on Search, Maps and other Google platforms. Where they are available for your category, use the factual ones, such as "Dogs allowed," "Dogs allowed inside" and "Dogs allowed outside." Hotels can also manage their hotel details, including a Pet Friendly highlight.
