About DoggyMate Network
Doggymate Network is more than a static database of dog friendly features. DoggyMate is the first interactive website specifically built for dog owners that combines an information site with the interactivity of a Social Network for dogs.
The DoggyMate Network
A fun and informative friendship service, where you and your dog can meet new friends, arrange dog walks, discuss training tips, upload stories and photo’s etc.
You can join a "Group" for your breed of dog and share traits and naughty little habits. There is also the opportunity to join a "Group" for your local park/ dog walking area where you can share local knowledge and keep up-to-date with what’s going on. If your Group doesn’t exist ... start one! You can start a group for anything that you feel others will enjoy and/ or benefit from.
The DoggyMate Network encourages free reciprocal dog care through its Forums and Groups. There are no set rules for reciprocal dog care; each arrangement is up to the individual parties to agree. However, if you do not know the person who has offered to look after your dog we would highly recommend you meet them and allow the dogs time together.
You can also join in on the chat room discussions or create a your very own Blog.
The DoggyMate Network is completly free and easy to join!
