The City Obsessed With Dogs Made an App Just for Them
It was only a matter of time before a canine-friendly app sprung up Tel Aviv.
Tel Aviv wasn’t kidding when it claimed to be the dog-friendliest city in the world. The Israeli city has one of the highest numbers of dogs per capita—1 for every 17 residents—and the pups’ pampered treatment is enviable. Fido is welcomed in parks and restaurants, and on buses and trains. They were recently given their very own Dog Day, they get hour-long massages and film nights, and now, they’re even getting their own app.
On Monday, the city government launched Digi-Dog, a mobile app that was created specifically for dog owners. It alerts them to pet-friendly events and businesses nearby, and sends reminders about vaccinations.
