Owners can choose nearby parks, start with short meetups, and keep first hellos public.

Built for trust
No empty profiles. No mystery meetups.
Puppdates is playful on the surface, but practical underneath. It nudges owners to share the details that matter before any match starts.
Health records
Add vaccine records when a meetup needs extra trust.
Owners can keep optional documents ready for boarding-style playdates, private dog parks, daycare meetups, or any plan where both sides want a little more reassurance.
Certificate
Training or daycare certificate
Upload proof of training, daycare clearance, or temperament evaluation when it helps the plan.
Vaccines
Vaccine record
Add rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, or vet-provided vaccine records if another owner or venue asks.
Owner controlled
Records should stay private by default and only be shared when the owner chooses to send them for a specific meetup.
Dog playdate guides
