FAQ
What is BarkBuddy?
BarkBuddy is a lifetime companion app for dog owners, designed to make dog ownership easier, more joyful, and more connected. From finding the right breed to discovering the perfect trainer and connecting with local dog owners through daily walks, BarkBuddy supports you every step of the way.
How does the Smart Breed Match work?
Our Smart Breed Match uses a quick lifestyle quiz to suggest breeds that best fit your living situation, activity levels, and preferences. This helps prevent mismatches that often lead to stress and rehoming.
What is the Smart Trainer Match?
Smart Trainer Match connects you with experienced, breed-specific trainers near you. Instead of wasting time and money searching randomly, you’ll be paired with the trainer best suited to your dog’s unique needs.
How does the Daily Dog Walking Map help me?
The Daily Dog Walking Map gamifies walks with streaks, rewards, and social connections. You can pin your routes, track consistency, and meet local dog owners walking at the same time. Walking your dog becomes fun, social, and motivating.
Is BarkBuddy just for new dog owners?
Not at all! BarkBuddy helps aspiring owners choose the right breed, new and struggling owners find the right trainers, and experienced owners build connections with the community. It’s a tool for every stage of dog ownership.
How is BarkBuddy different from other pet apps?
Unlike generic pet apps, BarkBuddy is built around the entire journey of dog ownership—from your first day with a new pup to daily routines years later. It blends practical tools with community, gamification, and lifestyle features, all in one place.
Will BarkBuddy be available outside the UK?
Yes! While our first launch focuses on the UK, we plan to expand into international dog-loving markets, including the US, Germany, France, and Italy.
