Pawscout’s reinvented Smarter Pet Tag for Cats and Dogs (MSRP $19.99) merges Bluetooth connectivity, a rich smartphone app, and a cloud service to builds engagement among pet-passionate people who enjoy features like neighborhood pet search and rescue, outdoor virtual leash, walk-tracking, thousands of pet-friendly locations and pet hazards, digital profiles with critical health and behavioral information, and an avid pet community. Pawscout debuted in retail in 2018 and has sold over 500K units at leading retailers (over 10,000 stores) across Canada and the US, including Walmart, Target, Petco, PetSmart, Pet Valu, Canadian Tire, Pet Supermarket, Kroger, Publix, and more. • BUILD YOUR PETWORK: Help lost and found pets, connect with local pet owners, track walks, and set outdoor virtual pet leashes. Find pet-friendly businesses with the Pawscout App’s neighborhood map, and use Pawscout’s social feed to follow your furry faves or reach out to the community whenever you have a question about grooming, training, or pet ownership. • CONNECT WITH YOUR PET’S PEOPLE: Build your local network of family members, neighbors, caretakers, and friends to coordinate the care and safety of your pet via Pawscout’s App. Share photos, arrange walks and playdates, and alert neighbors to pet hazards or pet-friendly places. All without any monthly fees or activation fees. • WALK DIARY & MEDICAL PROFILE: Using Bluetooth technology, the Pawscout Tag sends out a beacon that extends 300 feet in all directions & tells you whether your pet is within this “cone of safety,” making it ideal for keeping tabs on your pet when you’re in the yard or out on an adventure. The Pawscout Tag does not provide the exact location of your pet. Create a full digital profile for your pet in the Pawscout App, including photos, contact info, and medical information. • OUTDOOR VIRTUAL LEASH: Set an outdoor virtual pet leash in the Pawscout App and receive alerts if your pet goes out of range at the park or on other outdoor adventures. • HELP LOST & FOUND PETS: Most lost pets don’t go far - that’s why it’s crucial to rally your community. Pawscout’s App makes it easy to enlist local pet lovers if you find or lose a pet. Simply mark your pet as lost in the Pawscout App and our Bluetooth-enabled Tag will send alerts to all nearby Pawscout users (within 5 miles). Receive notifications and location data when your pet comes within 300 feet of anyone with the Pawscout App. • HOW IT WORKS: Pawscout does not give exact GPS location information. Your Pawscout Tag only knows whether or not a pet wearing the Tag is within 300 feet of you or someone else with the App installed. The App can alert you if a pet moves into range (e.g. if a lost pet is near you) or out of range (e.g. if your pet has wandered away from you). Location services and Bluetooth must be enabled on your smartphone for Pawscout to work properly.
