From the beginning of Kutyabárát.hu over 12 years ago, to this day, we often get the question: “What does it take to be a dog-friendly accommodation/restaurant/workplace, etc?” Can I be?” Unfortunately, there are still misconceptions in this area, and there are factors that discourage service providers from considering dog suitability or embarking on the dog suitability path.
Since its launch in 2012, Kutyabárát.hu, the first and original portal bringing together dog-friendly service providers and places, has set the goal of opening its doors to as many dog accommodation and catering establishments as possible. In the first months of our launch, we searched for dog-friendly places in the country, so in 2012 we started with just 30 places. www.kutyabarat.hu Thanks to the launch of the portal and then our social media page, more and more recommendations were received and are still being received to this day. Therefore, there are currently hundreds of dog-friendly places and dog service providers on Kutyabárát.hu. However, to date there are misconceptions about “dog suitability” and factors that discourage providers from accepting dog suitability or embarking on the dog suitability path.
Let's clear things up! What does it take to make a place dog friendly?
- Dog Friendly Parking: An owner or operator's decision is necessary to open a dog friendly property, restaurant, store, etc. Make it work. (Of course, there are places where the suitability of dogs is excluded due to legislation – due to health, hygiene or occupational safety rules.)
- Compliance with the rules set by the authorities (ÁNTSZ, NÉBIH, occupational health and safety rules)
- Some small points to take care of: fresh water for dogs, proper grooming and cleaning tasks
There are no special licenses, certifications, regulations or certifications that are not mandatory or required For your restaurant, residence, store or workplace to be dog friendly!
According to current regulations, the dog may remain in the guest area with the permission of the owner/operator, in accordance with the official regulations of ÁNTSZ and Nébih, as well as public health rules. The dog may not enter commercial areas, counters, warehouses, food storage rooms, or kitchen areas.
In addition, it is useful for the owner to properly indicate at the entrance that he or she operates as a dog-friendly business, for example using the Kutyabárát.hu sticker. In this way, misunderstandings can also be avoided later if a customer does not want to share his living space with four-legged friends; The owners' attention is drawn to the fact that four-legged guests are also welcome here.
