the why
I built BarkLife because, as a dog owner, I found planning a day out around places that really are dog-friendly harder than it should be. The most reliable information tends to come from other dog owners, chatting in the park. BarkLife collects that, and an algorithm weights reviews and activity so the listings show what is dog-friendly now, not what was true a year ago.
who it's for
Dog owners who would rather see at a glance that a place is dog-friendly than ring ahead and find out the hard way.
