We're the family behind Lion Puppy
We travel, explore, and make memories with our dog. Now we're sharing every brilliant dog-friendly place we find along the way.
How Lion Puppy started 🐾
We love travelling, exploring new places, and making memories with our dog, Lion Puppy. For a long time we struggled to find places that were genuinely dog-friendly — not just dog-tolerant. Places that welcomed your dog, your kids, and your whole family without a second glance.
So we decided to find them ourselves — and share everything we discover along the way.
Lion Puppy isn't a big corporate directory. It's something smaller and more personal: a curated collection of places we actually visit, believe in, and sometimes even film. We capture the atmosphere, the food, the welcome, and yes, the banter with whoever's behind the bar.
If you're a dog owner, a family, or both — we hope Lion Puppy helps you find your next favourite place. 🐾
What we get up to
Lion Puppy is more than a list of places. Here's how we do things.
We actually visit
We get in the car, show up with Lion Puppy, and see for ourselves what a place is really like.
We film it
Our Spotlights capture the atmosphere, the welcome, and the moments that make a place worth visiting.
We curate
Every place on Lion Puppy has been chosen because we genuinely believe it's worth your time.
We share honestly
No paid-for puff pieces. Just real impressions from a real family, exploring the UK with their dog.
Run a genuinely dog-friendly place? 🐾
If you run a pub, café, hotel, or outdoor space that truly welcomes dogs — we'd love to hear about it. We're always looking for brilliant places to discover and share with our community.
You can add your place to Lion Puppy yourself, or if you'd like us to come and visit in person, take a look at our Spotlight visits.

You're in safe hands 🤝
Lion Puppy is a registered UK business. Here's what that means for you.
🐾 A quick note from us: Lion Puppy is a genuinely family-run project — built and run by us, around real life, real visits, and a very enthusiastic dog. We'd love to visit every brilliant dog-friendly place out there, and that is absolutely the dream. But as a small family operation, it does take us a little time to get everywhere. Bear with us — we're working through our list, one adventure at a time. 🗺️
