Terms of use

BarksBuds helps dog owners find dog runs, meet up and make friends. By using it, you agree to these simple terms.

Be a good neighbor

• Be kind and respectful. Keep conversations about dogs and the community.
• No harassment, hate, spam, scams or selling.
• Only post photos and content you have the right to share, and don't post other people's private information.
• Use your real dogs. Profiles are for actual pups.

We may remove content or accounts that break these rules. You can report a profile, meetup or pack from its page.

Meetups and dog runs

• Meetups and packs are organized by members, not by BarksBuds. We don't supervise them.
• You're responsible for your dog, including its behavior, health, vaccinations and license, and for following each park's posted rules.
• Vaccination badges on profiles are self-reported. We can't verify them.
• Dog run details come from public sources and members and can change. Check the posted rules and hours before you go.
• Please use good judgment, meet in public places, and leave if anything feels off.

Your content

You own the photos and words you post. By posting, you give BarksBuds permission to show them on the site (for example, on your dog's profile or in a pack) and in previews when someone shares a link. If you delete something, we stop showing it.

Tips and information

Tips on BarksBuds are general information, not veterinary, legal or professional advice. Ask your vet about your own dog.

The service

BarksBuds is free. We work hard to keep it running well, but it's provided "as is," and we can't promise it will always be available or error-free. To the extent the law allows, BarksBuds isn't liable for injuries, losses or disputes that come from meetups, dog runs or interactions between members.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms as BarksBuds grows; we'll change the date above when we do. Questions? Email hello@barksbuds.app.
