Add a dog-friendly place
VeraTails is built from OpenStreetMap, so adding a place there adds it here — and to every other app that uses the map. It takes a couple of minutes and a free account.
- Go to openstreetmap.org, sign up (free), and zoom in on the restaurant, café or bar.
- Click Edit. Select the place if it's already on the map, or add it as a new point.
- In the tags, add
dog=yes(dogs welcome),dog=leashed(on a leash) ordog=outside(patio only). If it has outdoor tables, addoutdoor_seating=yestoo. - Save with a short note like “Dog policy confirmed in person”.
VeraTails refreshes its listings regularly, so your place will appear after the next update.
Please only add what you know first-hand — a sign on the door, the staff, or the venue's own website. Never copy listings from other directories or review sites; that data isn't free to reuse.
Fixing an existing listing
Every place page has a “Fix it on OpenStreetMap” link that opens the right spot in the map editor. Change thedog tag (or remove it if dogs aren't allowed any more) and save.
