GoPetFriendly is a website that helps pet owners plan vacations with their fur companions without hassle. The user has to feed the departure point, any stopovers, and destinations on the website, and it provides detailed information about pet-friendly lodging facilities, restaurants, national parks, beaches, and pet clinics along your adventure route to facilitate a smooth and memorable adventure for pet owners and their pets.
GoPetFriendly site was launched in 2008 which has made its design layout old-fashioned and our clients wanted a new look and feel, so engineers at Custom Software Lab redesigned the site to implement a much more modern look and feel with responsive mobile-friendly layout. On the technical front, the website was built on .net framework which needed revamp to optimize performance.
Here are a few features of GoPetFriendly:
Lodging
As not all hotels allow four-legged guests, pet owners must make sure the hotel is pet-friendly. However, rules can change, and some hotels that once were pet-friendly stopped allowing pets. Some hotels allow only dogs and not cats, and some have a tap on the number of pets that can stay in their hotel. Other common restrictions are a maximum weight (sometimes as low as 5kg or 11lbs), a maximum number of pets per room (often just one or two), and even breed restrictions. Whether pets are allowed to be left alone in the room varies from hotel to hotel. More often than not, pets are explicitly requested to not be left unattended in your room or sometimes exceptions are made for brief periods, such as eating breakfast in the hotel’s dining room.
On the GoPetFriendly website, pet handlers can find lodging that allows pets and the hotel’s pet policies to scout the one that welcomes dogs with treats, beds, bowls and more.
Restaurants
Some restaurants are better suited to hosting dogs than others, how to pick the right one? GoPetFriendly website lists all the pet-friendly restaurants and their pet policies so pet owners can choose the one that suits their needs. While many restaurants that offer outdoor seating will allow pets, it doesn’t necessarily mean they want them there. Some restaurants have strict no-pets policies despite having outdoor seating. Even restaurants that allow pets have specific guidelines. For example, they all likely require dogs to remain leased and remain under the table while dining. Some restaurants even offer water bowls and treats for fur companions.
Activities
How easy it is for pet owners to find fun and adventure activities to experience with their pets. During an adventure trip or vacation, there are a lot of activities people want to do, like sun on the beach, going trekking, hiking, and kayaking, then again not all national parks and beaches allow pets. GoPetFriendly website lists all the activities that are pet friendly like dog parks, kayak, canoe rentals with relevant gear for dogs and cats, farms, state forests, breweries, and wineries, and the outdoor setting of beer gardens in and around your vacation spot.
Services
Pet owners who want to experience fun and adventure like kayaking, hiking, trekking, and swimming in the beach but the sign reads “No Pets”. It’s not cheating if pet handlers enjoy a few adventures without their fur companions but be responsible and find a place to keep them safe. GoPetFriendly lists services like pet sitters, and pet daycare that is in and around the location with all information. GoPetFriendly makes it possible for pet owners to enjoy activities without any guilt knowing they are safe in a pet daycare or being watched by a pet sitter.
GoPetFriendly also lists pet boutiques and supplies, pet owners need to purchase pet supplies like food, accessories such as leashes, collars, harnesses, and all pet care products. In case the fur companions become unwell due to long travel or changing whether GoPetFriendly website helps pet owners find the nearest veterinarian where they can get their pooches taken care of.
