Pup Approved Places
Your Guide to Truly Dog-Friendly Adventures

Where It Started
We believe every pup deserves to join their humans on adventures. Our mission started with Charlie, our beloved companion who loves exploring new places, meeting friendly people, and enjoying treats. Frustrated by the lack of reliable information about truly dog-friendly venues, we created Pup Approved Places—a trusted guide to help pet owners find welcoming spots where both pups and humans can have an amazing time together.
We’re dedicated to sniffing out the best dog-friendly destinations across restaurants, cafés, shops, parks, hotels, and beyond. Every location is personally visited and tested by Charlie himself, who checks for tail wags, treats, water bowls, friendly staff, and great vibes. When a place earns our official Pup Approved seal, you can trust it’s a place where your furry friend will be genuinely welcomed and celebrated.
