Evidence-Verified Pet Admission Architecture
Arriving at a park, hotel, or cafe only to discover a sudden “No Dogs Allowed” sign ruins a trip. Locapeta never infers pet permission from unverified social posts—every published venue in our 196-place Americas catalog is bound to an auditable policy record.
Directory Listing ≠ Verified Pet Admission
Many travel aggregators scrape generic map pins and label entire neighborhoods “dog-friendly.” Locapeta enforces an admission gate: municipal parks must cite public park ordinances, and commercial hotels or cafes must state whether dogs are allowed indoors, on patios only, or in designated rooms.
How It Works, Step by Step
Primary Source Capture
We inspect municipal park department codes, official hotel pet policies, and verified venue rules.
Access Scope Classification
Each venue is tagged with explicit leash requirements, double-gate fencing, and indoor vs. outdoor access.
Multilingual Parity Check
A 3-layer policy verifier ensures “leash required” is never mistranslated as “off-leash” across English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Tombstone Revocation Guard
If a venue revokes pet access, its ID enters our revocation ledger so even rollbacks cannot republish it.
1. Why Honest Uncertainty Protects Travelers
When a hotel or municipal park does not publish a specific weight cap or pet fee, guessing “no limit” or “free” misleads owners of large breeds. Locapeta explicitly labels unverified attributes as “Not stated—confirm with venue” so you know exactly what to ask before booking.
- Leash status separated into Fenced Off-Leash, Off-Leash Hours, and Mandatory On-Leash
- Local currency fees displayed in USD ($), MXN (MX$), ARS (AR$), and BRL (R$)
- Direct coordinates and neighborhood context for every verified stop

View Policy Evidence →Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does Locapeta handle places that ban dogs?
Prohibited preserves and no-pet venues are blocked at build time and recorded in src/data/revocations.json so they never appear as indexable destination pages.
Are translations machine-guessed?
No. Every Spanish and Portuguese policy summary undergoes deterministic polarity verification to ensure restriction rules never flip meaning.
