Where Dogs Find Their Perfect Playdate
70% of dog owners report their pets lack regular social interaction with other dogs, leading to behavioral issues and unhappiness.
Finding compatible playmates requires endless social media posts, neighborhood walks, and luck-based encounters at dog parks.
Owners struggle to find nearby dogs of similar breed, size, and temperament within their local community.
Meeting strangers online for dog meetups comes with safety concerns and no verification system for dog health or behavior.
PawPal is a mobile-first platform that matches dogs by breed, size, temperament, and location to nearby dog parks for scheduled play dates—making pet socialization as easy as swiping right.
