Why DOGSY – and not the expensive platforms?

Transparency: how is DOGSY funded?

Using DOGSY is and will remain completely free for all Dogsyaner – no fees and no commission on agreements between users. DOGSY is funded solely through unobtrusive advertising from selected partners (e.g. pet supplies, vets). What matters to us: we never read personal information for this and we don't sell user data. Ads are shown based on general criteria (e.g. country/language or «has a dog») – never based on your behaviour or your chats. Your chats are private: no other Dogsyaner can see them, and they are never used for advertising.

Donations to projects, dogs and organisations are forwarded 100%. If you like, you can also support DOGSY itself with a voluntary donation – it exclusively funds the operation and development of the platform.
