Backyard Breeders

I can’t with good conscience use this app. There are so many backyard breeders posting it makes my stomach churn. According to the ASPCA, 334,000 dogs were euthanized at US shelters in 2024. Providing a platform for unlicensed people to find breeding mates to create MORE dogs, in that kind of environment, is disgraceful.

Invasive Personal Data Requirements!

The requirement for so much owner data, age etc is a reason to cancel the signup! This isn’t a dating app, my age is irrelevant!! Im looking for playmates for my pup, not myself!

Mostly good

I’m fairly new to the app and was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of potential friends for my pup in my area. Interface was pretty easy to navigate and I like the simplicity. There are two things I would change if I could: 1) Requirement to add some text to the dog’s profiles to describe their temperament etc; and 2) Remove profiles that are seeking dogs to breed their dogs with (there are a LOT of these on the app). Seriously, shelters are overfull and dogs are being euthanized daily, so seeing profiles that say “we are seeking a dog for our dog to breed and start a family with” literally makes my stomach churn.

Roxy's New Playmate

I just moved to a new city and Roxy has been so bored. This helped to find her someone to play with 😌

Saw you on Insta thought I'd try it

just saw you guys on Insta, looked pretty cool so thought I'd try it

Happy cat with new playmate

My cat needs some playmates so she isn't bored. Found one on here just last week and she's happier than ever

Better Than Expected

I thought of something just like this for my class, but didn't think anyone made it. It's honestly better than how I pictured it would be

Found the perfect match for my dog

my dog hates big dogs so i used it to find her a pom just like her. thank you!

TikTok Made Me Try It

Saw it on TikTok but didn't think to try it till now. Very fun to just scroll and see cute pups.

Back on socials again

never thought i'd get back on with socials but this one's pretty cool.

Surprising enjoyment of cute videos

I first saw this thinking oh that’s silly, but after using it for a while I kinda get it. It’s nice to see people posting cute videos instead of politics all the time.

Had to try it from Instagram

I just saw this on Instagram nd HAD to try it out! Really fun concept.

Kate

Absolutely love this app. It has nice interface and easy to use. Definitely recommend.

Would recommend

Best app ever! I can finally communicate with people who have dogs which I can set up play days with them.

Social App for Pet Friends. No Ads!

Nice app. Looking forward to use it a lot. No ads is a big bonus. Thanks

Only cute pet content

I spend so much time on socials just scrolling cute pet stuff but hate all the other dumb things I don’t wanna see. This is only cute pet stuff so I love it.

Perfect for pet lovers

This is a 5/5 for me. All pets all the time? Maybe add a lost pets feature too…
