The Global Dog Friendly Survey

This is the biggest global survey of dog owners ever launched. I'm Kali, and I built it to find out, properly and at scale, what dog owners actually want, where the world lets them down, and what dog friendly should really mean.

Why it exists

Too many places say they are "pet-friendly" and then make you and your dog feel like a problem. Allowed is not the same as welcome. The only way to fix that is to hear from dog owners themselves, in big enough numbers and from enough countries that nobody can argue with it. That's what this survey is for.

What I ask

Quick, tap-not-type questions about how you travel and go out with your dog, what makes a place genuinely dog friendly to you, what feels like a fair fee, and how much you trust the "pet-friendly" label. Five minutes, no essays.

What I do with your answers

Your answers feed an annual report on the state of dog friendly travel, and they go to work pushing hotels and venues to do better. Everything is used in aggregate and anonymised. I never sell your data, and I only ever email you about the prize draw or the occasional dog friendly update, which you can stop any time.

Ten languages

The survey runs in ten languages so dog owners all over the world can take part, not just the English-speaking ones. The more voices, the stronger the case for dogs.

The prize

Complete the survey and you're entered into the prize draw to win two nights at one of the world's best dog friendly hotels. One entrant, drawn at random after the survey closes. Full rules here.

Who's behind it

I'm Kali, the free dog friendly concierge. The survey is run by Roch Dog, the team behind the dog friendly standard that grades and ranks hotels on how well they actually treat dogs.
