Kibble Points keep
care circulating.
Not cash, not store credit. Members start with a join bonus, use points only when care requests are accepted, and earn them back by helping other pet owners or joining Paw Dates.
20 point join bonus
Every new member starts with points to use immediately.
Held on acceptance
Browsing and messaging never touch your balance.
Refunds built in
Declined, cancelled, or expired care requests refund automatically.
The rules are simple on purpose
Join bonus
Every new member starts with 20 Kibble Points.
Main way to earn
Complete care arrangements as a fellow and points transfer automatically.
When points move
Points are held only when a care request is accepted — not while browsing.
Important
Kibble Points are not money
They have no cash value and are designed as a community exchange system, not a payout mechanism.
How points move through the community
The system is designed to keep the exchange understandable, predictable, and closely tied to real community activity.
You join
New accounts begin with 20 Kibble Points so members can start participating without paying up front.
You request care
Searching, messaging, and sending requests do not remove points from your balance immediately.
A fellow accepts
Only after acceptance are the required points reserved against that care request.
The request resolves
Completed care arrangements transfer points to the fellow. Declines, cancellations, or expiries refund them to the owner.
Common point amounts by service
Keep your balance healthy over time
The model works best when points circulate through community participation instead of staying static.
Refer a friend who joins and verifies their email to receive a referral bonus.
Attend a confirmed Paw Date meetup and earn the attendance reward.
Help other members regularly so your balance keeps pace with the times you need care yourself.
Guardrails that keep the model understandable
The product is intentionally opinionated here so members know the system is for exchange and participation, not for cash-out behaviour.
Not cash
Kibble Points have no cash value on or off the platform.
Not spent while browsing
Compare profiles and message members before any points are reserved.
Not a purchase system
Earning through real participation, not simply buying more points.
