  • Basic information is needed upon signing up
  • Sign up in less than 5 minutes
  • Upload the photos of you and your dog upon registration
  • Register via email, Facebook, or phone number

Making Contact on Dig

Dig Match
  • Messaging is only for matched members
  • Dig another member's profile to get their attention
  • Browse profiles for free
  • Use treats to "Really Dig"
  • Join public forums
  • Matching parameters can be adjusted anytime
  • All members can send messages for free

Dig is a simple app where you can mingle with like-minded individuals. There are several ways on how you would communicate with other members.

First, when you visit a profile, you will find three icons— Dig, Really Dig, and Pass.

  • Dig (Green Heart icon)- a member will not be notified unless you use a treat, but if by destiny you both dig each other, then it's a match!
  • Really Dig (Yellow Star icon)- you have to use a treat so you'll be able to have additional treats to click on this icon.
  • Pass (Stop sign)- You'll skip the profile.

You can only start messaging with another member once both of you clicked Dig or Really Dig on each other's profile.

For better matching, you may adjust the settings on your profile where you can change the search distance radius, who you are looking for, age, and the dogs' size.

Dig Profile Quality

Dig Profile
  • Profile information is limited
  • Edit basic information anytime
  • Members are allowed to type in 200 characters for their introduction part
  • Upload unlimited photos
  • Refer-a-Profile and Treats Tab are available for iOS users
  • Easy to understand icons for Dig, Really Dig and Pass
  • Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free

You will not get much information by viewing other members' profiles. Most members skip the bio narrative. But you can view nice photos of other members with their dog babies for free. All members can upload unlimited photos but can only type in 200 characters on their profiles.

Android and iOS users will have a slightly different experience when it comes to the features on the profile page. The Refer-a-friend feature and the Treats tab are not available for Android users thus, the icons will not appear on their profiles.

In partnership with RealMe, the dating site has improved its user security and enabled its members to view background information and reputation details. This will make it safer for everyone to meet their matches in real life. They can potentially spot red flags earlier and block any unwanted members.

The moderators are strict when it comes to the photos that were uploaded. Here are some guidelines to avoid your photos being taken down by the app administrators.

  • Only upload a photo of a minor if he/she is accompanied by a legally-aged person
  • Make sure that your face is visible on all the photos
  • Only wholesome photos are allowed
  • You should own the photos that you will upload
  • No photos of illegal activities
