Breeding

Clear intentions, from the start.

Breeding is a separate mode for owners who choose it, one pet at a time. It’s for introductions between owners, not a promise about health, fertility or outcomes.

Breeding introductions do not replace veterinary advice.

PetMate does not review, verify or clear any pet for breeding. Talk to a veterinarian about health, timing and suitability before any introduction.

Opt-in is explicit

A pet is in Breeding only because its owner turned Breeding on for that pet.

Per pet, on purpose

Breeding is never assumed from a pet’s neuter status. Each pet needs its own explicit opt-in.

Separate from Playdates

Breeding has its own preferences, likes, matches and chats. Nothing carries over from Playdates.

Pause any time

Turn Breeding off for a pet whenever you like. Its Playdates profile stays as it is.

Labelled for what it is.

Health details on a Breeding profile come from the owner. We show them as exactly that.

What you will see

  • Owner-reported vaccination status
  • Health notes written by the owner
  • Documents uploaded by the owner

What it is not

  • A veterinary review
  • Proof of authenticity or current health
  • A clearance or recommendation to breed

How an introduction works

Short, owner-led and in your control.

  1. Opt in for a pet

    Turn Breeding on for that pet only. Set what you are open to.

  2. Show interest

    Both owners need to show interest before anything opens up.

  3. Talk owner to owner

    Any decision to meet or breed stays with the owners, with advice from their vets.

PetMate is matching only. There is no adoption, selling, marketplace or booking.

Separate modes. Clear intentions.

Breeding is opt-in and owner-led. Join the waitlist and we’ll write when there is something real to share.
