Your dog can finally text you back. Muttgrams sends you daily photos of your dog and lets you chat with them like they're really on the other end. Pick their personality, whether they're goofy, grumpy, sporty, or something in between, so they sound exactly how you picture them in your head. The more you chat, the more virtual treats and toys you earn to share with them. It's a little ridiculous, and that's the point. For anyone who misses their dog the second they walk out the door. Muttgrams Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
