Poolhouse: Dogbook

Lost your dog? We’ve got an app for that. Following the popularity of the Dogbook Facebook application, Poolhouse has launched the Dogbook iPhone application through Lowe Roche ,Toronto, which is now available as a free download on the iTunes store.
“The Dogbook iPhone app is an evolution of the Facebook application,” says Alexandre Roche, Dogbook co-creator. “Having Dogbook on your iPhone allows you to always have your dog with you, connect with other dog owners and gives you constant access to a number of resources like finding a dog park nearest to you.”

Features of the application include photo uploads, list other Dogbook users who are near you and locates nearby dog parks no matter where you are in the world. Lost a dog? You can use the application’s “Arf Alert” to send a message to all Dogbook users within a 15-kilometre radius with a photo and your contact information. Found a dog? Call the happy owner right from your phone.

“Posting your lost dog’s photo on a telephone pole is now a thing of the past as a way to find your favourite friend,” says Geoffrey Roche, Dogbook co-creator. “Posting a photo on ‘Arf Alerts’ takes all the great features of the iPhone, like GPS, and combines them with our two million strong user base to save the day for your dog.”
