Any Other Good Phone Apps For Dogs and Dog Lovers?

This website boosts the 5 most useful Apps for Dogs

HEY WALKIES!
How do city-dwelling dog owners find a dog park that's outside of their own five-block radius? Anyone? Bueller? For New
York City dog folks, Hey Walkies! has made the search a lot easier. Creator Chad Jackson produced Hey Walkies! as part of the city's BigApps challenge, and with his interactive design firm, Jackson Laycock, and design partner Kettle, he's built a user-friendly app that's got great design as a bonus (uncommon in the pet app world, trust us).

Jackson tells PEOPLEPets.com that Hey Walkies! will expand to include other
cities in the near future, and that his team is also developing a mobile
web app accessible beyond the iPhone. Hey Walkies! has already
incorporated Facebook Connect, which allows dog owners to converse with
each other. "There's that persistent little rumor about New York, where
you can borrow a cute dog and go to a dog park and meet a guy or girl
and fall in love," he says. "It's a great way to meet people." Who knows
— Hey Walkies! might just be the gateway to meeting your soul mate.

FIDO FACTOR
Need a one-stop indicator of which city restaurants allow dogs and which local groomers do the best work
without ripping you off? Check out Fido Factor, an app that bills itself as the "Yelp for dogs." Still in its beta stage, Fido Factor features information about
San Francisco, Boston, New York and Portland. It's working out some
kinks — a recent search for N.Y.C.'s dog-friendly restaurants yielded
results on Boston's Newbury Street. (Free)

iPET FINDER
This one's for the animal lover who's always wanted Petfinder.com in app
form. While it's not the most cutting-edge — functionality isn't the
sharpest and the design is a little dated — iPet Finder does
give a sense of the number of pets available in your area. Portions of
the proceeds go to the Cesar and Ilusion Milan Foundation. ($0.99)

PET DOSSIER
Carrying around a dog's vitals just isn't a reasonable thing to expect of a pet
owner. Who can keep track of vet records and ID numbers, especially when
there's more than one animal in the house? YepYup's Pet Dossier
acts as a digital file cabinet of all your pets' records, and even has a
place for vet and groomer contact information. We promised useful,
right? Here you go. ($1.99)

DOG WHISTLER
The Dog Whistler is what you might call an iInstrument — you can adjust the frequency
and pitch of a whistle sound to call your dog. Initial tests in the
PEOPLEPets.com labs didn't yield any positive results on an actual dog
(it may just be that she's particularly insubordinate), but as a free
app, it was still fun to try out. (Free)

Good Night.

I read an article about all these acronyms a while back, and in this article a lady said she sent a sympathy email to a friend who had just lost her mother and she signed it: LOL and her name. Only later did she learn LOL didn't mean Lots of Love. Oops! For some twisted reason, that really made me LOL!

Dog Park Finder and PetsMD. Pets MD pretty much is general information that we all seem to know. Dog Park Finder seems pretty good.
