Do pets need social media apps? Well, they have one now. Petzbe is a new app for pets. Their owners use it, but they use it from their pet's perspective. Instead of liking and following each other, users get to sniff, lick, and share stories about their frolics in the dog park or how they got in trouble for shredding the roll of toilet paper in the bathroom.

Andrea Nerep, the founder of Petzbe, told Animal Channel: "It's such a positive place to be that's completely free from human seriousness. Everyone is so funny, loving and supportive of each other, and it's wonderful to see how empathetic they are to both serious and not serious matters. "If a pet is complaining about food portion sizes, users have reacted exactly as they believe their pets would, saying things like 'It's preposterous! I've seen my human eating a whole bucket of ice cream, and what do I get?"'
It can even help people open up more about their own problems. When they talk from their pets' perspective, it makes it a little easier to talk about the complicated issues they may be facing.
Pets can choose to meet up and have the opportunity to participate in various discussions. They can share photos, stories, and more. Even the press release was given by a pet.
The app is a great way to show owners how much their pets are like them and how much they have in common.
Hopefully, this app will open up a whole new world for pets and help bring more pet owners together. After all, pets like to make new friends and be social, too. The creators told Animal Channel:
"Your pet is a part of you, you're proud of them, and you want to share these instant moments when they're funny, cute, silly, and impressive with those who care. Petzbe provides the social and psychological benefits of belonging to a community that's funny, positive, genuine and supportive of pet posts. There's no room to be judgmental or cynical, as being the friendly animal lover you are is what matters in our community – nothing else."
