Noticed Pet Friendly no longer a selectable item when searching

[April403]

I am a pet friendly host and believe I get more bookings because of it.  I noticed since the recent announcement that AirBNB will start allowing pet fees it's now no longer a searchable / selectable item?  Anyone else notice this?  Believe it used to be next to smoking allowed checkbox which I DO NOT allow.

Confirmed. This is what works.

THANK YOU!!!

No problem @Christy291, glad I could help! 🙂

Great help! Thanks!

It's a bad UI change since they moved something without making that clear...

[Michelle2925]

Wow, I just noticed the pet friendly filter check box is missing. This makes no sense. Why would I want to open hundreds of individual listings looking for the pet friendly places? This is not a customer friendly update at all and will have me going straight to VRBO. Disappointing! 

[Gregory445]

I agree, very inconvenient and I'm not wasting my time.  Moving on to other services...

[Clare446]

So inconvenient! I’ll be looking elsewhere if I can’t easily filter. Though I notice if I search everywhere and use options like beachfront or “tiny home” then I seem to be able to access it. Useless for finding a quick break with useful parameters 

[Nicola2393]

Totally agree, it is tedious to search through properties to find one that is pet friendly. I can't imagine it's great for the hosts either. Please put this filter back.

Ridiculous that you cannot search by pet friendly. Makes the app totally unusable 

[John5988]

I concur, it is ridiculous that this filter has been removed.

What is going on at AirBnB? Is anyone monitoring these discussions? Are you working on a fix for this huge error? 

[Sarah977]

@Siddharth52  No, Airbnb doesn't monitor these discussions. They don't consider it an error that needs a fix. They changed the way guests look for pet-friendly listings. If you enter the number of guests and the number of pets, you will be shown pet-friendly listings, apparently. This is obviously not working well for guests or hosts.

You need to send feedback directly to Airbnb through their main site in the "Help" section, not on this forum, if you want them to look at it.

Except that on iOS app pets no longer appear in the ‘who’s going’ section. So the OP is correct, you can’t filter for stats that are pet friendly. Which renders the app useless.

It is at the bottom when you expand the selection.
