Pet-Based Social Networks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Dog Social Media App Helps Owners Take Their Pups Everywhere

— September 17, 2015 — Lifestyle
Dogland is the dog social network that allows pet owners to post pictures of their pup, interact with other owners and find places they can bring their furry friends.

The dog social media app functions as a one-stop pet-based version of several other platforms. For example, users can post pictures of their pets and then "dig" other users' posts, much as users like posts of their human friends on Instagram. Users can send messages to other dog lovers so it functions as a social app like Facebook. They can also identify, share, check in to and rate dog-friendly businesses and locations like Yelp users do for restaurants and services.

The Dogland dog social app also aims to be the first social media network crowdfunded by the people who use and love it, sourcing funding through a StartEngine campaign.
