Someone convinced me I wasn’t crazy… so I actually built it!
Last week I made a late night post about whether pets should have pen pals.
I honestly expected everyone to tell me I was sleep deprived (I probably still am…) but one person said they’d actually use something like it. So I spent the last week building the first version! They also suggested we use this community to get feedback, so here I am!
It’s called MyTailMail!
The idea is:
• Dogs (or cats!) get matched with another dog/cat
• Owners send/receive letters, photos, postcards and little surprises (toys, treats, etc) while keeping addresses private (MyTailMail does the shipping)
• Pets collect custom digital stamps with their new pen pals over time
Right now it’s just a waitlist because I want to see if enough people actually want this before building the full platform.
I’d really appreciate honest feedback from other pet parents, even if you think it’s a terrible idea! What would make this something you’d actually use? Would anyone be interested in doing a beta test exchange??
Thanks all!
