What is Dogs Supporting Local? We are a team from a Canada wide pet app called PawSwap, also known as, "the app to find all the dog-friendly places in your city." Over the past months, we’ve heard thousands of stories from businesses and dog owners that have been negatively affected by COVID-19, so we wanted to do something to help. Dogs Supporting Local aims to encourage Canadians to visit dog-friendly areas, while recognizing and promoting local brick and mortar businesses such as breweries, restaurants, stores, and hotels that don't just tolerate dogs, but welcomes dogs.
