The social app helps pet owners to track their excursions on dog walks, add locations of favorite destinations and dog parks and provide aid in the case of a lost pet. In addition to this, the [social dog app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petdiary) has breed-specific trackers that keep tabs on a dog’s physical health and help to find owners who are looking for dogs for mating. The app is absolutely loaded with features. Another interesting part of the app includes a pet rescue feature that pinpoints local dogs without homes as well as reports instances of possible pet cruelty. The comprehensive app has plenty to explore and it's one that tech-savvy dog owners will definitely want to play around with. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pet Health Tracking Apps:** Opportunities exist to develop apps that track pets' physical health and help owners take appropriate action. - **Social Apps for Pet Owners:** Develop apps that connect pet owners with other owners, track walks and provide aid in the event of a lost pet. - **Breed-specific Pet Apps:** Opportunities exist to develop breed-specific pet apps that help owners care for their pets and find suitable mates. ### Who This Affects Most - **Remote Health Monitoring Industry:** Opportunities exist for businesses to develop remote health monitoring devices and services for pets. - **Social Network Industry:** Businesses can leverage social media to create platforms that connect pet owners and promote pet-related products and services. - **Pet Care Industry:** The trend of pet apps provides opportunities for pet care businesses to develop apps to better serve their customers and improve the overall experience of owning a pet. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Canine-Centric Meetup Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canine-centric-meetup-app.md) - [Pooch-Preferring Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dating-app-for-dog-lovers.md) - [All-in-One Pet Care Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dotsy.md) - [Expert-Led Dog Training Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expert-led-dog-training-app.md) - [Pet Health Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-app1.md) - [Pet Health Support Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddydoc-app.md) - [Pet Care Management Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paw-parent.md) - [Digital Canine Caretakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pupfi.md) - [Pet Community Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petdiary.md)
