# Dogs Away data notes

Dog boarding and daycare facilities across 31 US metros (5,631 facilities), with Dogs Away's hand-curated disclosure census: what each facility publishes on its own website about price, admission requirements and operations.

- JSON API: https://dogsaway.co/api/v1/index.json (one metro summary or one facility per request; there is no bulk download of facility records)
- Markdown: append .md to any page path (e.g. https://dogsaway.co/austin-tx.md)
- Terms: city statistics are CC BY 4.0 (attribution required: "Source: Dogs Away (dogsaway.co)"). Facility records are all rights reserved: read and cite freely, no bulk copying. See LICENSE.txt and https://dogsaway.co/terms/.

## Field states

- `known` — the facility states it on its own website; the coded value is in the facility record.
- `corroborated` — reviewers describe it but the facility does not state it (value not included).
- `checked-absent` — a curator reviewed the website and it does not state this, as of `census_checked_at`.
- `unknown` — not yet checked.

Coded values (e.g. `structured-rotation`, `required-for-group-play`) are stable tokens; the verbatim quote and source URL for each are in the JSON API facility records.

## Not included

Google review data — rating, review count, rating distribution, review topics, photos, and the Dogs Away score derived from them — is excluded from the JSON records. It is shown on the HTML and Markdown pages only.

There is no full-dataset download. Metro files carry statistics, licensing and analysis; facility records are served one at a time.
