Partners

Become a DoggMatch Partner

DoggMatch helps people find the right dog and then live well with them. Our members are already looking for beds, groomers, trainers, vets and places to stay. As a partner, you get in front of them — with an offer you fully control.

In return, your own customers get 25% off DoggMatch+ for their first year. No listing fee. No commission. You decide what you offer our members.

We're looking for partners we'd happily recommend to a friend.

What you get

A partnership that gives something both ways.

Reach owners who are actually looking

People come to DoggMatch while they're choosing a dog, settling one in, or finding help with food, training and travel. You get a thoughtful introduction at the moment they genuinely need you.

Your own place in Member Benefits

A proper listing inside the members' area: who you are, what you offer, where it can be used, and a link straight to you. More useful than a logo in a wall of logos.

An offer that's yours to shape

A percentage off, a free first session, an upgrade or a bundle — whatever feels right for your business. You decide every detail, and you can change or pause it whenever you like.

Partner branding you can use

A DoggMatch Partner badge for your window, website and social channels, so customers can recognise a business we're happy to stand beside.

Verification that takes two seconds

Members carry a DoggMatch+ card with a QR code. Scan it, see whether the membership is active, and welcome them in. No app, no login, no paperwork.

A benefit for your customers too

We give your customers 25% off DoggMatch+ for their first year. It costs you nothing, and you still decide completely what benefit you offer our members. There is no listing fee or commission.

Real examples

What could a member benefit look like?

It does not need to be complicated or expensive. The best offers are simple, useful and easy for your team to honour.

  • Pet shop

    15% off everyday equipment

    Useful for leads, beds, bowls and the things a new dog genuinely needs.

  • Harness specialist

    A free harness fitting

    A little time to get the fit right, without making the visit feel rushed.

  • Dog trainer

    A free introductory session

    A calm first conversation before the owner chooses a class or course.

  • Daycare

    A half-price trial day

    A sensible way for the dog, owner and daycare team to get to know one another.

  • Groomer

    20% off the first groom

    Especially helpful for a puppy's first visit or a nervous rescue dog.

  • Veterinary clinic

    A welcome health check at member price

    A straightforward first visit to talk through health, weight and prevention.

These are examples, not requirements. You choose the benefit that feels fair for your business and helpful to a dog owner.

Who we're looking for

Good dog businesses, large and small.

Independent shops, kennels, breeders, trainers and established teams are equally welcome. If your work makes everyday life with a dog better, we'd be glad to hear from you.

Pet shops & equipment

The first weeks with a new dog involve a lot of shopping — and members come in with questions, not just a list.

What members usually ask for

  • Harness and lead fitting that actually fits
  • Help choosing beds, crates and toys that last
  • Honest food advice without the brand push

Offers that work well

  • A percentage off a first fitting visit
  • A new-dog starter bundle
  • A standing member discount on everyday kit

Groomers

A calm groomer is worth their weight in gold, especially for puppies and nervous rescues.

What members usually ask for

  • A gentle first puppy trim
  • Patient handling of anxious dogs
  • Regular appointments they can rely on

Offers that work well

  • A reduced-price first visit
  • A free nail trim alongside a groom
  • Priority rebooking for members

Trainers

From puppy class to a rescue dog's first recall, members look for reward-based help they can trust.

What members usually ask for

  • Puppy classes with small groups
  • Help with recall, loose-lead walking and jumping up
  • One-to-one support for a rescue settling in

Offers that work well

  • A free or reduced intro session
  • A percentage off a course
  • A members-only class or drop-in evening

Veterinary clinics

New owners want a clinic that explains things plainly and doesn't rush. That first introduction is worth making well.

What members usually ask for

  • First check-ups and vaccination plans
  • Clear guidance on insurance and microchipping
  • Someone to call when they're not sure it's urgent

Offers that work well

  • A free or reduced first consultation
  • A welcome health-check at member price
  • Microchipping bundled with a first visit

Boarding & daycare

The first night away is a big step. Members want to meet the people and see the place before they book.

What members usually ask for

  • A trial day or a short stay to start with
  • Weekend and holiday cover they can plan around
  • Regular daycare with a familiar routine

Offers that work well

  • A free or half-price trial day
  • A percentage off a first stay
  • An off-peak member rate

Also very welcome

If your work touches a dog's everyday life in any other way, we'd still like to hear from you.

At the counter

One scan, and you know they're a member.

Every DoggMatch+ member carries a card with a QR code. Point any phone camera at it and a page opens showing whether the membership is active and until when. That's all it shows — no names, no addresses, nothing you have to store or look after.

  • Nothing to install, and no partner login to remember.
  • Works from a printed card or the card on their phone.
  • No personal data passes through your till.
  • A DoggMatch Partner badge for your window and website.

How it goes, in practice

  1. 01The member mentions DoggMatch+ and shows their card.
  2. 02You scan the QR code with any phone.
  3. 03The page says Active, with the date it runs until.
  4. 04You apply your offer. Done in about five seconds.

How it works

Four steps, and no small print to wade through.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your business

    The short form below is plenty to start. Tell us who you are, where you're based, and any early thoughts you have about an offer — it doesn't need to be final.

  2. 02

    We have a proper conversation

    A real person reads your note and replies. We'll talk through the details and make sure it feels like a good fit both ways — for you and for our members.

  3. 03

    We write your listing together

    We put the words, offer and practical details together with you. You approve everything before it goes live, and nothing is published without your say-so.

  4. 04

    We introduce you to members

    Your offer appears in Member Benefits, you receive the partner badge and your customer code, and members can show their QR card when they visit.

Questions

The things most businesses ask us first.

What does it cost to become a partner?
Nothing. There's no listing fee and no commission. The discount or benefit you give members is what you contribute.
What does the 25% discount for my customers cost me?
Nothing. We give your customers a first-year discount on DoggMatch+. You still decide completely what benefit you want to offer our members.
How do I check someone is really a member?
Every DoggMatch+ member has a card with a QR code. Scanning it opens a page that shows only whether the membership is active and until when — no personal details.
Can I change or stop my offer later?
Yes, whenever you like. Write to us and we'll update or pause your listing. We'd just ask that you honour anything already promised.
We're not in Norway — can we still join?
Yes. DoggMatch is used internationally and Member Benefits are shown with the country they apply to. Online shops that ship widely are very welcome too.
How many members will see it?
We won't quote you a number we can't stand behind. DoggMatch+ is young and growing, and we'd rather be honest about that than oversell it.
What kind of businesses do you say no to?
Anything built on aversive training methods, or products we wouldn't be comfortable recommending to a friend with a dog. We'd rather have a short list we trust.
