Short answer
Dig is the established dog-only app; Attune puts the pet on the card, scores pet compatibility, includes cats and people without a pet, and adds lock in.
What Dig is
Dig, "the dog person's dating app", launched in 2019 and is still listed on the app stores with updates in 2026. It is dog-only: profiles are about you and your dog, and matching is on lifestyle and dog preferences. It has the longest track record in the category.
What Attune is
Attune is a pet-first dating app for people with dogs and cats, made by Attune LLC in Overland Park, Kansas. Every card leads with the pet and the human is the small circle. Matches come with a pet-to-pet compatibility score and plain reasons. Two people can lock in and talk only to each other, for free. People without a pet join by saying what they are open to. Launching on iOS in 2026, Kansas City first.
