Or, like that time we decided to find the dog-friendly area at the Fermilab campus in the western suburbs of Chicago and we walked for miles, only to find that it was an unfenced area. And, there was no way we were letting our beloved Shetland Sheepdog puppy run free in the middle of the gigantic park area. If we had this app, we could have found out ahead of time that is was unfenced.
So long story short, if you have a dog and an iPhone, there really is no reason not to download this free dog park-finding app. Simple use your phone’s GPS to find the closest locations to you, or search the more than 2,000 strong database by city and state or zip when traveling.
The app is powered by dogparkusa.com, and includes three years worth of compiled user reviews and photos in addition to the basic information on each park. It’s like Yelp! for dog lovers. I would love to see this app expand to include pet-friendly places nearby each park, such as restaurants, pet groomers, vets and even lodging for road trips.
