iPhone App for Dog Owners
‘Staycations’ are all the rage this summer, and a new iPhone app has come to the rescue of thousands of dog owning families who will be faced with the headache of trying to find holidays and day trips where their dog will be welcome too.

The iPhone app, launched by Dog Friendly and the Kennel Club, helps dog owners to find all the dog-friendly restaurants, bars and lodgings in the area where they live or are visiting. The app, which lists more than 10,000 dog friendly places, can be downloaded for £1.79  and also shows dog friendly beaches, suggested days out and veterinary surgeries within the user’s vicinity.
 
Caroline Kisko, Secretary of the Kennel Club which runs openfordogs.org.uk, a website of dog friendly places, said: “If you are one of the many families choosing to stay at home this summer you will resent having to leave your dog behind or pay out for kennelling fees because you are afraid that you won’t be able to find pubs, cafes or accommodation that will accept them.
 
“Thankfully, more and more businesses are catching on to how important it is to welcome the country’s 8 million dog owners and this app contains more than 10,000 places in the UK which will welcome you and your dog with open arms.”
