-
How can a dog’s unique behavior, personality and temperament personalize the playdate experience?
-
The digital dog community space is oversaturated with platforms that connect dog owners to each other. Most focus on generic social networking and location-based meetups but overlook the most crucial factor: the dogs themselves.
Without considering each dog's unique personality, behavior, and energy level, these platforms lead to mismatched interactions and safety concerns. Owners are left with trial-and-error, relying on limited filters like breed or size rather than deeper behavioral compatibility.
-
Bond creates intentional, thoughtful and safe playdates, prioritizing the wants and needs of the most important party: the dog. With customization based on energy levels, activity, health, emotional triggers, temperament and much more, Bond creates archetypes suited for every dog to personalize the playdate experience. With every swipe on the app, your dog is one match closer to finding their ideal play partner.
Illustration that Characterizes.
Bond uses playful illustrated archetypes to match dogs based on energy, age, and play style: Making it easy to find the right playmate. Whether your dog’s high-energy or low-key, Bond pairs them with a good fit for smoother, more fun playdates. A high-energy dog paired with a laid-back one can lead to stress or mismatched expectations on both sides. By focusing on how dogs actually like to play, the app creates better matches that lead to safer, more enjoyable playdates for everyone involved through an intentional onboarding process.
Onboarding that Identifies.
Bond uses a careful and intentional onboarding process that determines each dog’s unique archetype. These archetypes are then used within the Swiping section of the app, to find compatible energy levels, temperaments, play styles and comfortability with strangers. Bond prioritizes creating a safe space where dogs of all energy levels, ages, temperaments and experiences are valued.
