Uniteddogs and Unitedcats team blog

We passed 10,000 pets milestone a bit more than a week ago already. And along with that, we did a bunch of updates to our sites. Let me give you a little insight of what they’re all about.

1. Dogs and cats on a world map — the Google Maps integration

First of all, from now on all dog and cat owners can mark the locations of their furry friends onto a huge world map. As a result, people can browse the map to find dogs and cats who live near them. Say you live in California and you’d like to meet up with some dog-owners to spend some time together. Just check out the map of cats and map of dogs, and you’ll see exactly which dogs are out there.

2. Wiki of all dog-related materials

We opened wikis within our sites that we hope one day will contain all dog and cat-related information. That is everything from breed descriptions, information about diseases, but also something as different as tips on how to teach your dog some new tricks. Every registered user can participate and help grow the wikis. If you happen to know a lot about some cat or dog breeds that you love, or if you’re a breeder, feel free to contribute some of your knowledge with other dog and cat lovers and owners.

3. Português? Português!

A new language was added to our site this week – Portuguese. Introducing Portuguese Uniteddogs, as well as Portuguese Unitedcats. They’re a good addition to Dutch Unitedogs and Dutch Unitedcats and Latvian Uniteddogs and Latvian Unitedcats and this means that you can use Uniteddogs and Unitedcats on seven different languages already.

There were some smaller tweaks as well, of course, which you can find information about on the sites’ forums. Enjoy!
