A guide to DoggoLingo - the social media language of dogs

What is DoggoLingo?

DoggoLingo is the language used by dog owners and lovers (aka “hoomans”) to talk about their dogs on the internet. It’s full of cutesy terms, silliness and lines of endearment and it’s constantly evolving with new words and phrases being created and adopted by dog lovers online.

When should you use DoggoLingo?

Well, there’s no hard and fast rule. It’s pretty silly and informal (rather like most doggos to be fair!) It’s mostly used online, on channels like reddit or Instagram where the dog-loving community is strong and people enjoy sharing tales (or should that be tails?!) of their pooches adventures (we know that we do!).

How do you use DoggoLingo?

Just try it out – get involved in the conversations and you’ll soon see how it comes together. Your old grammar teachers at school will likely start sweating, as proper punctuation, spelling and grammar are just not required, it’s all about being expressive – and thinking about how your doggo would view the world
