## What is Barkmate?

Barkmate — Big wags. New friends!

Find nearby dogs for playdates, walks, or a potential mating match. Create your dogs’ profiles, choose what you’re looking for, and start a conversation with another owner.

• Add and switch between pet profiles.
• Search by breed, age, gender, temperament, city, and distance from city centres.
• Choose Playdates, Mating, or both.
• Invite an owner for a walk or discuss a potential mate.
• Exchange messages and photos through Connections.
• Edit your profile, block owners, report messages, and delete your account in the app.

Meet in a public place and let your dogs set the pace. Mating discussions are between owners; Barkmate does not verify compatibility or provide veterinary advice.
