Description
Find pubs in the UK where you and your best friend are welcome to share a good meal and a pint.Drawing on the extensive database of pubs from http://doggiepubs.org.uk, allows you to quickly find and map dog-friendly pubs near your current location or to search for and do the same for any other location within the UK.
- shows an easy to browse summary of all the pubs within about a 12 mile radius of your chosen location including a star rating and a description
- where a website is provided allows one-click browsing to see more details
- integrates with Google Maps and Google Navigation so that you can easily locate and navigate to the pub of your choice
- includes a one-click telephone option to enable you to contact the pub and make a reservation for yourself and your four legged friend
- provides a link to the Doggie Pubs website to allow you to submit new pubs from your phone
NOTE: since February 2011 (and since v0.8 beta), I am no longer officially associated with doggiepubs.org.uk. I have therefore removed any branding associated with their site. I have continued to use public URLs from the website to obtain data. As I have significantly updated the functionality of this app for my personal use and it seems to have a degree of popularity, I have taken the decision to release these updates to existing users. You should be aware that doggiepubs.org.uk informed me when we parted company at the beginning of the year that they were working on a new official Android app and you may wish to check their website for news of its availability (http://www.doggiepubs.org.uk/mobile/).

Brilliant Great app really useful with good info & love the way users can add to it Only criticism is it needs a way to sort - ideally by distance from either where you are or a location But otherwise brilliant

Brilliant! So quick and informative! Would be great if there's an equivalent one for hotels, b&b, etc.

Absolutely brilliant This app is so useful. I travel a lot with my mutt and it's handy to know where I can stop off for some food without having to leave him in the car. It seems pretty comprehensive - I tried it out for my local area and it found all the dog friendly pubs I know and a couple that I didn't. Very easy to use.

Massively improved app Very useful app, great location, map and phone tools. Only thing missing is price guidance (££) and food ratings (****)

Brilliant! Excellent app, very user friendly. Makes use of the best dog friendly pub database there is. Works fine on my Samsung galaxy nexus.
