A social network for good dogs
Find your dog's next fren.
good frens helps verified dog owners discover nearby playmates, screen for temperament fit, and schedule safe plans — without the chaos of a public feed.
How it works
Three steps to a playdate.
01
Sign up & verify
Verify your phone, upload current vaccination records, and tell us about your dog's vibe.
02
Discover frens
Browse a curated, location-aware feed of verified dogs that match your dog's energy and play style.
03
Schedule safely
Say hi in chat anytime, then request a plan at a public meeting place.
Safety & trust
Built around dog safety first.
Vaccination verification
Every dog uploads vet records. An AI scanner checks Rabies and DHPP expiration dates, and a human admin can override.
Reactivity screening
Dogs with known reactivity toward people or other dogs aren't allowed on the platform — by design.
Phone verification
Twilio Verify confirms every owner's phone number before they can finish signup.
Public-place first meetings
First plans between any two owners are limited to public locations like parks and coffee walks.
Block & report
One-tap reporting auto-blocks the other user immediately. Our team reviews every report.
Privacy by default
Location sharing is opt-in. We show proximity, never raw coordinates.
