Not in a meeting room, not in front of a whiteboard full of strategy. DOGOUT came out of walks around Warsaw, among people doing exactly what you do: roaming the city with a dog!
Not in a meeting room, not in front of a whiteboard full of business strategy. It started with Mona, with everyday walks and with a need plenty of dog people know.
When I adopted Mona it turned out that even in Warsaw it is not easy to find dog companions for walks. I was missing one place with routes and spots for dog people. So I thought: what if all of it lived in one place? 💚

Where are the places that actually work? The ones another dog person recommended, not an ad
A restaurant with a garden where the dog is a guest, not a problem
Toxic water, broken glass, boars nearby... How do you warn others fast, before someone walks into trouble?
How do you meet decent dog people nearby?
The trust barrier: arrange a walk with a stranger? First you have to hand over your number
Groups for dog people? You wait for an admin to approve your post
Another lap around the block. The same patch of grass. No ideas
Why had nobody built one decent app that brings all of this together?
We met on a walk. The dogs brought us together, and so did the same daily puzzle: where do we go today to make it more interesting than yesterday? Daniel is a developer, so a chat by the lawn ended up as an app.
We were looking for a way to get out with our dogs more often, to find new ideas for time together and to meet people who understand the dog world. That is how an app was born that helps break the walking rut and get more out of those moments.
We bring dog people together and give them a reason to stay outside longer.
We are a tool that builds lasting relationships and inspires better, more interesting time with a dog. We break the ice and lower the barrier to socialising – taking the pressure off both the humans and their four-legged companions.
A world where the walk is the best part of the day.
We dream of a world where time with your dog is pure joy, and the people you meet along the way stay in your life for a long time. For the good of both you and your dog.
The same kerb, the same tree, to the minute. You stare at the ground and your dog does not even need to sniff, because it already knows what is around the corner. You are killing time instead of winning it.
„Does he bite? Does she like other dogs?” – good questions circle in your head, but none of them makes it out. Your inner monologue has just cost your dog another buddy.
A handful of strange dogs thrown together into a few dozen square metres. Noise, tension and no plan at all. Let us be honest – that is rarely healthy socialising, more often it is simply stress.
Warsaw is lit up like a Christmas tree, the rest of the country is just warming up. Every bright spot is dog people who went for a walk with the app. Your town missing? That means nobody has added a route there yet. Yours could be the first.
In the beginning we listened to dog people in Warsaw, and plenty of the app came out of their "what if we...". We still work that way. Got an idea, or something not working for you? Write to us, we read it all.
