• Four recent polytechnic graduates in Singapore created Wagglo, an app for dog owners to connect their pets for play dates and walks.
• The app features a Tinder-style swipe function to match dogs based on personality and includes a directory of nearby pet-friendly places.
• Wagglo aims to grow its user base first and currently offers the app for free, with plans for future monetisation.

SINGAPORE – Users who swipe on this app may come across profile pictures with descriptions such as “extroverted and active”, “loves to eat”, “innocent-looking and cute but feisty”. If you “heart” a profile – and the other user does likewise as well – you receive a compatibility percentage and can chat with your “match”.

This may sound like a regular dating app, except the profile pictures and descriptions are of dogs. And it’s the owners who are connecting about their furbabies.
