Charmr
Download Here
I don’t know about you but I would never date someone my dogs don’t approve of. Thanks to Charmr, the official dating app for all pet-lovers, you can now find other like-minded single dog parents who love their little one just as much as you do. You simply “Push the paw” (instead of swiping right), swap cute photos, and go on dates. They even offer special discounts at pet-friendly locations so that’s awesome! Did someone say doggy date?
Shadow
Download Here
There’s nothing more devastating than losing your furbaby and if you’ve ever had to go through that horrific experience, you’d agree that an app like this is absolutely needed. The Shadow app uses the power of technology and thousands of volunteers to reunite lost pets with their families. Start by posting a picture of your lost (or found) pet. The app will then give you a couple of actions that you can do next which include printing flyers, sharing on social media, contacting nearby shelters and more. Volunteers will then help match photos from shelters that are close by and with other found pets, and help you until you bring your dog back home. It’s pretty amazing and it’s free!

Fi
Download Here
Why get your little one just an ordinary collar when you can get them the smartest one ever built? The Fi collar works together with the app to help you track your dog at all times so if they ever do jump over the yard and get away, you will instantly know where to find them. You can even add everyday step goals to ensure they stay at their healthiest best. You can also add as many dogs and owners to your account so loved ones can always have access to their whereabouts. The best part is that the collars come in a ton of collars and styles and they’re waterproof. The future of dog collars is here!
Pawprint
Download Here
Wouldn’t it be great to have all your your dog’s information including their medical records, feeding instructions, reminders, and cute photos in one place? With Pawprint, you can do exactly that and keep all your doggo’s favorite humans in the loop. To get their official records, all you need to do is find your vet on the app and let Pawprint do the rest. They will contact your vet, gather digital copies of their medical records, and store everything on the app. You will also get reminders when their checkups and vaccinations are due and you can even keep track of other details like their monthly tick and flea medication. This is a great app for when you’re traveling, are at the groomers or in case of an emergency. Plus, it’s free so yay!
