United Dogs, founded in 2007, operated as a social networking platform specifically designed for pet owners. Headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, the company provided an online space where users could create detailed profiles for their pets. Through these profiles, owners could share photos, videos, and blog posts, effectively chronicling their pets' lives and connecting with a community of like-minded individuals.
The platform's core function was to facilitate social interaction among pet lovers, allowing them to exchange information and experiences through an online forum. The business secured angel funding in October 2007, followed by a venture capital investment of $264,000 in April 2008. This funding was intended to fuel its growth within the social content and platform software industry. The company's operations ceased in February 2019.
It's important to distinguish the 2007-founded United Dogs from a similarly named, non-commercial website, unitedpets.net, which was established in April 2013. This later site was created as a free, community-driven space for pet owners following the closure of other pet-centric websites and operates entirely on a non-commercial basis, funded by its creators for the love of pets.
