The iphone now has an application just for dogs!
Took long enough….
The “My Dog” app allows dog owners to create and share a personalized profile of their dogs, similar to Facebook.
Holger Laufenberg, the designer of the app, said the idea for it came after his terrier mix, Dax, went missing.
“A panic struck me, and I started calling all the vets, all the shelters. Over and over again, I was asked the same questions about the kind of dog, its medications, that sort of thing. I thought it was crazy, and that there must be some better way to do this.”
The profile includes a picture, description, information about the dog’s owner and emergency contact information, as well as details on vaccinations and medical history.
Aside from being a cute profile, the app can act as a dog-travel guide and a directory for dog services.
Currently, the directory has listings in 220 metropolitan areas across 50 states. The app’s travel functions are focused more on larger metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles or New York.
