Join The Pack - Add Your Dog Friendly Business To Best Bark Today
Reach more customers actively looking for businesses like yours.
Thousands of dog owners use Best Bark to decide where to eat, drink, shop, stay and visit. If your business welcomes dogs, a free Best Bark listing helps put you in front of people already planning where to go and spend their money.
Being dog friendly gives people another reason to choose you.
People might already choose your business for great coffee, brilliant food, beautiful rooms or a good day out.
For dog owners, there is one extra question before they decide where to go: can I bring my dog?
Best Bark answers that question and puts your business in front of people actively searching for places they can eat, stay, shop or visit with their dog.

That works out at around 47 people a month clicking for directions to the business.
A directions click does not guarantee somebody walked through the door, but it is a much stronger signal than a social media impression. These are people looking at a business and then asking Best Bark how to get there.
A dedicated listing with everything they need to know.
Your Best Bark page gives people a clear overview of your business, where you are, what you offer and exactly how dogs are welcomed.

Let dog owners know they’re welcome before they even walk through the door.
100+ businesses across Northern Ireland and counting are already displaying a Best Bark Dog Friendly decal in their window, with more delivered every week and the rollout now beginning across the Republic of Ireland too.
The decal gives dog owners a simple, recognisable sign that dogs are genuinely welcome. Our community is already actively looking out for them when deciding where to stop.
Dog owners are already looking out for them.
Best Bark decals are being spotted in windows, shared on social media and used by dog owners to work out where they can confidently stop with their dog.
It’s quick & simple.
If you already have a short business description and a few good photos ready, creating your Best Bark listing only takes a few minutes.
Add your details, tell us how dogs are welcomed, upload your photos and submit your listing. We’ll take it from there.
You don’t need to become a dog themed business.
Being listed on Best Bark doesn’t mean changing what makes your business good.
You don’t need a dog menu, themed events or bowls at every table. If you genuinely welcome dogs, we simply help the people looking for that information find you.
Welcome dogs with confidence. Set the rules that work for your business.
We want to see more businesses welcoming dogs, and we want business owners and their teams to feel confident doing it.
Being dog friendly does not mean saying yes to everything. You can decide where dogs are welcome, set clear house rules and step in when a dog is disruptive, distressed or creating a safety issue. Your team should feel comfortable enforcing those boundaries.
We champion responsible dog ownership too.
Dog friendly businesses only work when owners play their part. Best Bark encourages dog owners to respect each venue’s rules, keep their dog under control, give other dogs and customers space, clean up after them and know when it is time to leave.
That is why we created the Best Bark Dog Friendly Business Standard, a free practical guide to help you put a clear policy in place that works for your premises, your team and your customers.
