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.
