The 'Dig' dating app is positioned as a romantic solution for dog owners to find a mate that is right for their lifestyle to ensure they're compatible on a very important topic before taking things any further.
The app works by letting users filter out users who have or don't have a dog to help them find someone who will work well with their present situation. The app also offers potential mates the ability to plan a dog-friendly date at a nearby park or off-leash area to see if they are compatible and if their canine companions also get along.
