Community guidelines

• Add places you've actually been to with your dog, and describe them as they were that day: leash rules, shade, water, gates, crowds, surfaces.
• Not sure about something? Pick “Not sure”. An honest blank helps the next dog parent more than a confident guess.
• When things change, say so — tap “I was here” to confirm a place, or report an issue on its page. Fresh notes beat old ones.
• Write in your own words. Don't copy listings, reviews or photos from other sites or apps.

Own a café, work at a boarding, train dogs at a park, or got a freebie for visiting? You're welcome here — just say so in your tip, so dog parents can weigh it.

• No ads, promo codes, or links to buy things.
• No posting as a happy visitor when you're the owner, and no asking friends to pile in.
• Budugu Verified comes only from dog parents confirming a place on their visits. It can't be bought or asked for.

• Photos should show the place and the dogs. Leave out the faces of people who haven't agreed to be in them — especially children.
• No names, phone numbers, flat numbers, car number plates or anything else that points to where a person lives.
• Don't list a private home or a place that isn't open to visitors. An apartment complex is fine to list for its dog rules.
• Only post photos you took yourself.

Many of these places are home to community dogs, monkeys, cows or birds — they were there first. Noting them helps dog parents plan: a quieter time for a reactive dog, a shorter leash near a troop.

• Nothing that encourages chasing, hurting, poisoning or “getting rid of” any animal. Community dogs are protected where they live under Indian law, and Budugu removes posts that suggest otherwise.
• Describe animals by what they do (“the resident pack barks at newcomers near the gate”), not by insults.
• Leave wildlife wild — no tips on feeding or handling it.

“There's no water on the trail, carry plenty” is a great tip. Medicine names, doses and home remedies are not — what's safe for one dog can hurt another. If a dog is hurt or unwell, call a vet.

Disagree about a place, never about a person. Budugu doesn't allow insults, hate, threats, harassment, sexual content, cruelty to animals, spam, or anything illegal. Comments with language Budugu doesn't allow are stopped before they post.

• Every photo and comment has a ⋯ menu to report it or block the dog parent who posted it. A report hides the post for you straight away.
• For a place that's wrong or has changed, use Report an issue with this listing on its page.
• Budugu looks at every report, usually within 24 hours.
• Run the place, or want a listing fixed or removed? See Corrections and removals.

• Most of the time: the post comes down. For a place, Budugu asks for a change, or takes it off the map if it can't be fixed.
• Again and again: the account can be suspended.
• Straight away, no warning: threats, sexual content, cruelty to animals, sharing a person's private details, or pretending to be another person — the post comes down and the account can be closed.

Write to privacy@budugu.in with a link to the post and why you think the decision was wrong. Budugu takes a second look and gets back to you within 15 days. The Grievance Officer page has the full process, including where to go if you're still not satisfied.
