DogSync

@katesegrin Glad you're loving the product Kate--we totally think the same way. We want to help all dog owners communicate and coordinate better so their dogs get the best care they deserve--it takes a village to raise a dog too! :)

@benjaminsyne Love this concept! As a new "dog parent" I could definitely use some assistance with staying on top of and sharing responsibilities to take care of my girl :) Looking forward to checking you guys out!

@robcromer thanks for the kind words Rob. I'd love to hear how your experience is and how you think it can be improved!

@benjaminsyne Great launch! Any plans to integrate features geared towards the pet's medical needs? Potential to integrate veterinary reminders? My wife and I still use Google Calendar for most of our check-up and vaccination reminders (which we need to input manually) and periodic reminders like monthly Heartworm medicine day and seasonal anti-flea/tick medicine day. Keep up the great work!

@paul_hq Shameless plug, we get your official medical records with the Pawprint app and send you updates, you can set reminders as well. https://www.producthunt.com/tech...

@liamswl thanks! How to did you discover us?

@benjaminsyne StartupFest in Montreal this summer I believe. and worked on a project recently with Adam Dahan. I think he worked with you guys early on right?

@wahoo Hey Evan, thanks for bringing this up! No need to be shy, it helps us a lot--we're still trying to figure out how best to bring people to the app. Just to clarify, are you looking for a link directly to the app store even when you're on desktop/PC? Our links should be set up right now to redirect you to the app store if you're on iOS and to text you a link if you're on desktop/PC. We could implement a third button in our header that would go directly to the app store no matter what and name it "Go to the app store".

@rogerh1991 thanks for the reply! you've got it exactly right. I've got iTunes set up to sync app downloads, so a download on my computer will auto-download an app to my phone as well. (plus, all good intentions aside, I don't like indiscriminately giving out my phone number). although I might be the only person who prefers it this way :)

@wahoo I've made a note of it in my Asana--I'll probably get to putting the button in tomorrow. You're not the first one to bring it up actually, but you are the one who has made me actually do something about it :P Thanks for the feedback!

@eyaltoledano thanks for the kind words! Shibas are some very cute dogs. Let us know what other features you would like to see.

@benjaminsyne I see them granting each dog handler access to your app to manage the daily needs of all of the dogs. Right now they probably use some sort of checklist pinned on a wall somewhere. The checklist piece of paper is obviously not very effective for many reasons. It obviously won't send them app notifications when a pet needs their daily food for example. This is also a big plus for a customer that brings in a dog to a dog kennel or day care that requires some sort of medical attention or daily medication. They'll be more at peace knowing the entire staff will be alerted exactly when the dog's meds are due. There is a lot of value in this for the pet care industry. Just give them the current version you have now. If they like it, get their feedback on what else they would like to see and develop an MVP enterprise version that you'll charge for on a subscription basis. I see an enterprise version having advanced features such as letting a manager see reports of tasks that were completed late and top performing employees and instant "check ins" when an employee finishes a task among other features. The instant check-ins can work with NFC tags to instantly mark tasks as completed. For example, Bob feeds Winston and scans his phone on Winstons bowl to mark the task complete. Bob does not even have to unlock his phone. There are many possibilities with this but you have to get out there and talk to these businesses first :)

@franklinacosta_ @benjaminsyne I love this idea to provide comfort of mind for owners leaving their pet with a care taker (and accountability for care taker). Also, good way to keep lines of communication open between the two parties during the stay. It is a good way to monetize eventually too.

@franklinacosta_ @benjaminsyne This is a pretty fantastic Idea. If you build something like this in to our product it can even be used in other verticals.

@liamswl @benjaminsyne Definitely an interesting way to monetize. Being a dog owner, piece of mind is one of the major reasons we built DogSync in the first place.

@benjaminsyne my partner and I are in the process of building a dog related company and have requirements for an app. Your app is awesome! It would actually be really great for dog walkers and dog walking companies as well.
