DOG VIVANT

Dog Vivant is born from the need for centralized, guaranteed and updated information to move with dogs on trips and day plans. They believe in the need forspecializedservices andpartnersin this segment fordog-friendly businesses, destinations and other tourism agents. The company already has more than 25,000 registered with dogs and more than 1,000 active canine and dog-friendly business clients. All of them can find, through the web or mobile app, both museums and bars, as hotels, restaurants ... and other activities in which dogs are not only accepted, but also welcome . This last point is a widespread demand among those who opt for the company of a pet and, in this case, a dog, as they generally have to deal with restrictions and prohibitions of all kinds. Luckily the initiative of integration to the dog in the city is booming, and that is why every day Dog Vivant adds new dog-friendly and canine businesses, since more than 84% of people with dogs do, at least , one trip a year with your pet. In addition, 42% of these people refuse to make any type of trip that does not include their dog. However, this does not happen only in relation to travel and getaways, but more than 50% frequent a bar or restaurant with your pet, and almost 70% try to include you in all your plans as long as the dog is not uncomfortable . In this way, Dog Vivant stands for dog travelers not as a business directory, but as a certification with proven and updated information from really dog-friendly sites . On the other hand, for these trusted businesses, the Dog Vivant certification offers a complete ecosystem of services ranging from the visibility and qualified recruitment of dog adventurers (always knowing their dog access rules, opinions from third parties and nearby attractions), to customer experience and reputation management in a segment in full revolution. However, it should be added that the reception by these businesses is good, since the annual certification renewal rate is close to 80% in a sector as volatile as hospitality and tourism. The company, which has the support of Metxa, has just closed a round for an amount of € 300,000, after a presemilla round of € 100,000, months after its foundation (2016). Dog Vivant has new contributions from its current investors such as Metxa Inversiones, Conteneo and the founding partners, as well as the entry of Seed Capital Bizkaia and the financial support of the Basque Institute of Finance.More
