Meet Wilma 🐾 Share a woof!

Questions and answers

These are the questions I get my nose into most often. If yours isn't here, write to us via the contact page – mum and dad reply as fast as they can.

About my places

How does a new place get onto the site?
Wilma answers

You press Share a woof and tell us about the place – no login needed. Mum and dad check the place's dog rules and find the address and map before it goes live. That's why it can take a little while from your woof until the place appears.

Why didn't my place get added – or why was it removed again?
Wilma answers

Mum and dad always check the place's own dog rules before it goes live. If the rules can't be found or confirmed – or dogs aren't really welcome – the place doesn't go on. That's the site's most important promise: a wrong rule could send someone 200 kilometres by car for nothing. And if a place changes its rules so I'm no longer allowed to come along, it comes off the site again. Not out of unkindness – but because you need to be able to trust every single place here.

Why isn't my local dog forest listed?
Wilma answers

Because I only include dog forests that are worth a whole outing – fenced, special scenery or something else that gets the tail wagging extra. Denmark has hundreds of dog forests, and the Danish Nature Agency already keeps track of them all. Here with me, you'll find the ones worth driving to.

Something about a place is wrong – what do I do?
Wilma answers

Press "Suggest a change" on the place's page and tell us what has changed. Dog rules do change, so mum and dad appreciate every heads-up – they fix it as soon as they've seen it.

About your woofs

Why didn't my review appear right away?
Wilma answers

Most reviews go live immediately after a quick sniff test. If the test is in doubt, the review waits until mum and dad have read it – and they read everything, usually the same day.

Can a review be removed?
Wilma answers

Yes. Mum and dad remove reviews that are offensive, are advertising or aren't about a real visit. And if you want your own review removed, just write to us via the contact page.

To the places' humans

I own a place – may I suggest it?
Wilma answers

Yes, please do! Use Share a woof. Mum and dad write the description based on your published dog rules – so everything on this site is told with the same honest nose.

Can we pay to be listed or ranked higher?
Wilma answers

No. Never. No one has ever paid to be here, and no one ever will. The order is decided by dogs and their humans: places with real reviews rank highest.

May we review our own place?
Wilma answers

No – woofs must come from dogs that have actually visited you. Mum and dad read every review and remove the ones that smell of something else. My nose is hard to fool.

May we link to our page on your site?
Wilma answers

YES PLEASE! Link as much as you like – then even more dogs can find you.

About me and my humans

Who is behind Pawsome Denmark?
Wilma answers

I am! Wilma, adopted golden retriever from Esbjerg – with good help from mum and dad. Read the whole story on Meet Wilma.

What does it cost? Are there ads?
Wilma answers

It's free, and there are no ads. The site is made by dog owners, for dog owners – and that's how it will stay.

Why is the site in English and German?
Wilma answers

Because many people holiday in Denmark with their dog – not least German camping guests. All places and reviews are translated, so everyone can sniff along.

How do you make money?
Wilma answers

We don't. The site costs a bit of electricity and a couple of domain names, and mum and dad gladly pay that. In return, everything here is written for one tail only: mine. And yours.
