08:00 Find a playmate

Create a profile for each of your dogs: breed, size, energy, temperament and how confident they are with other dogs.

Browse dogs near you, like or pass, and when both owners like each other's dogs, a chat opens to plan the playdate. Add people you already know with their friend code.
