Add Videos to Your Stories!
November 09, 2009
- YouTube videos can now be added to stories, much in the same way images are added. Some of our users have already started to embed YouTube video links in the body of their stories. We simply made the process more streamlined. Pets that have videos in their latest story will also receive a cute little video badge over their picture in list view. This will allow other users to quickly identify them if they want to see pets in action.
Users on Google Android-based handhelds will also be able to shoot and upload videos directly using the devices. The entire process is seamlessly integrated into the latest Android version of Pets Next Door.

Pets Next Door (Web) Receives Makeover
October 17, 2009
- Over the past month, we have received hundreds of emails written by people from all over the world. Although we were unable to respond to each and every single one of them, none went unread. There were words of encouragement, heartwarming stories, and invaluable suggestions on how Pets Next Door can be improved. We would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to write us!
For the next couple of months, we will systematically implement most of the changes suggested, across both versions. The current phase saw major changes in how new pets and stories are added through the web. The layout is now more intuitive to navigate and more accomodating to different screen dimensions.
If you have a moment, check out the new layout and let us know what you think!

Mobile Application Coming Soon for Pet Lovers
August 10, 2009
- We are now in our final stages of developing a mobile application for pet lovers. Aptly named "Pets Next Door," this application aims to provide a mobile venue for people to meet and learn about pets in their area, while on-the-go.
With Pets Next Door, people would be able to easily nagivate through pet profiles on a responsive map interface. From there, they can see the pet's pictures, read its stories, watch its videos, and interact with other pet lovers who also like the pet. For pet owners, they can also quickly publish stories about their own pets right from the application.
Initially, Pets Next Door will be available for Google Android-based devices.
