Bonus points are for promoting active dog-lovers.

Since the middle of December 2007, you can see your bonus points. You can earn bonus points by many means - taking part in forum discussions, writing new posts to your dog's blog, adding new friends, etc. And of course, you'll get points for patting dogs. (They like it!)

Buy bonus points
Now you can buy bonus points using PayPal. PayPal accepts all major credit cards and it takes just moments to receive the points. For as little as $2 you will get 200 bonus points. 10% of PayPal points income goes to animal rescue organization. Read more.

You can spend points on virtual gifts.

Bonus points are good, because you can spend them on virtual gifts for other dogs and cats (or your own). Virtual gifts are cute little iconic items like a fish for cats, bone for dogs, red heart-shaped balloons, elf hats, and more.

There are many different kinds of gifts - some are cheaper, some more expensive, some more popular, some rare. We are occasionally adding brand new gifts.

How to give a virtual gift
To give a gift, please navigate to a dog's profile you'ld like to give a gift to. You'll notice a button called "Give a virtual gift". You'll need to be signed in to see it. Upon clicking the button, you'll see a selection of gifts and some further help. You can use your points to give the gifts. Information about how many points you'll need for a specific gift will be shown once you click on any of the gifts.
