Pet Pal

Although 69 per cent of Australian homes have pets, many pet owners find it difficult to interact with others who have like hobbies and care schedules.

A specific forum for creating social ties, exchanging stories, and finding pet-related goods and services is lacking.

PetPal is Australia's first integrated pet dating and lifestyle app allowing pet owners to connect depending on the species, personality, and lifestyle of their dogs.

Giving a complete platform for all pet needs, the app provides social contacts, playdates, an online marketplace, and access to pet services.

Supported by significant market demand with over 5,000 members already in beta, PetPal is meant to grow from big cities to worldwide markets via a freemium model, in-app purchases, and sponsored partnerships.
