Hauva!
A community club for doggos and their humans. Find dog-friendly spots in Helsinki. Check-in, make new friends and see where your friends have been.
The problem
You arrange to meet human friends at a restaurant.
You want to bring your furry friend too.
You could call a restaurant. But it is the lunch rush. The staff are busy. You hesitate.
You leave your dog at home.
You walk in. There are other dog inside, having the time of his life. You feel bad for your furry buddy waiting for you at home.
Sounds familiar?
Hauva.club exists so you never have to guess again.
