The Pawscout app

Your pet’s records, reminders, and people—in one place.

Keep vet notes, weight, and care reminders together. If they go missing, share the details that help someone contact you—on tag pages and public lost-pet reports.

Start with a free pet profile. No hardware required.

Every day

The app you open on ordinary days

Most pet-safety products are set up once and forgotten, and the details go stale in a drawer. Pawscout is the place their record actually lives — and the assistant that helps you keep it. Using it is what keeps their profile true.

01

Their whole record, in one place

Weight over time, vaccinations, medications, procedures — each able to carry the document that proves it. The vet’s PDF lives here too.

02

An assistant that knows them

It starts from their breed, age, weight and allergies, remembers what you asked before, and can read their own paperwork.

Maple’s assistant

Is the new food okay with her allergies?

Maple’s record lists a chicken allergy, and that formula is poultry-based — worth avoiding. Want me to note the switch on her profile?

It already knows her breed, age, weight, allergies, and everything you’ve discussed before.

03

Reminders that arrive

The tablet on Tuesday, the vet at four. Set once; your phone does the remembering.

When it matters

The fastest way home is a neighbor with your number.

The same profile you keep on ordinary days is what a finder opens — without an app, an account, or a battery.

01

Anyone can read it

A scan of the Tag or a shared link opens their rescue profile on the web: the current photo, what a helper should know, and one-tap ways to reach the right people. You get an email and a push the moment it’s opened. The finder stays anonymous unless they choose otherwise.

02

Your people already know the plan

The family, the sitter, the neighbor with a key, the friend who’d drop everything. Invite them once and they’re part of your pet’s world — the right details for everyday care, the right role in an emergency, nobody scrambling through group chats for the vet’s number.

And if the worst day comes, there’s a plan waiting

The worst hour of pet ownership is not the time to invent a process.

  1. Lost mode on

    Say it once

    One report starts everything: a shareable lost-pet page with their photo, last-seen details, and exactly how to help.

  2. Circle briefed

    The word goes out

    Your Care Circle gets the news and the plan together. Share the page anywhere — posts, group chats, the neighborhood thread.

  3. Signals live

    Every pair of eyes counts

    Scans alert you the moment they happen. Sighting reports reach the family with notes from the people who saw them.

  4. Home

    Welcome home

    Lost mode goes quiet, the page stands down, and you get to thank the stranger who stopped.

Why Pawscout

Finding lost things is a solved problem — for keys, for phones, for luggage. Pets aren’t things. The next hour isn’t decided by a map pin; it’s decided by whether the person who spots them can actually do something.

Why we build it this way

On top of it

The app is free. Two things sit on top.

The Tag

Optional
The Pawscout Tag

Their profile, on the collar. A durable QR tag that opens the same profile from the collar itself — no battery, nothing to charge. Update contact details in the app without replacing the tag. Nothing their identity depends on.

Reunions

The notes families send after

Notes some families chose to share after a reunion — stories, not statistics.

“Thanks to good neighbors and Pawscout we were able to find Rockie in just a short time.”

“Thank you to the kind stranger who led King home.”
— King’s family
“Someone brought him right to my door. Thank you Pawscout.”

Questions

The honest answers

What do I actually use Pawscout for day to day?

Their health record — weight over time, vaccinations, medications, and the vet’s paperwork, all in one place. An assistant that already knows your pet and can answer questions about their own documents. Reminders for treatments and appointments. And walks, if you want them — it maps the route and keeps a diary. All of it free.

What can the pet assistant do?

It is a chat assistant grounded in your pet’s profile and documents. It can answer questions about their records, help you update details, and suggest reminders. It will not diagnose or prescribe — it will point you to your vet.

Does Pawscout need charging or batteries?

No. The profile lives in the app and on the web. The optional collar tag is a printed QR code — no battery, no radio, nothing to die at the worst moment.

Does the person who finds my pet need the app?

No. A scan or a link opens a plain web page with your pet’s photo, the details you chose to share, and one-tap ways to reach you. No app, no account, no friction for the person helping.

My pet is microchipped. Do I still need this?

Chips work at the vet or shelter — after someone catches, transports, and waits. Pawscout works on the sidewalk: anyone with a phone can reach you in seconds, before the drive across town. They’re partners, not rivals.

What does it cost?

The rescue profile, finder page, scan alerts, lost mode, and Care Circle basics are free. Pawscout Protect is an optional subscription that adds readiness maintenance — review checks, reminders, and full scan history.

What do finders see — and what do they never see?

Finders see what you chose to put on the rescue profile. You see when the profile was opened, the device type, and an approximate location if the finder chooses to share one. Finders stay anonymous unless they decide to reach out.

What if my pet gets out without their collar?

Their identity doesn’t live on the collar. Lost mode gives you a shareable page for neighbors, group chats, and posts — everything a helper needs, wherever the link travels.

Bring Pawscout home

Their profile, their people, their way home — set up in minutes, free to start. And the person who finds your pet will know exactly what to do.
