Pawscout Protect
Ready before. Responding when it matters.
Keep your household’s response plan ready before a missing-pet emergency — with named readiness checks, a trusted Care Circle, and a full scan history.
Built for being ready
Ready looks like nothing happening: a current photo, a tested tag, two people who answer. Free Pawscout ID makes your pet returnable. Protect sits on top — keeping that plan usable before something goes wrong.
Recovery readiness
See whether your response plan is usable before anything goes wrong — and fix what is missing.
Care circle
Attach trusted caregivers and emergency contacts so the right people are ready when you need them.
Tag scan history
Review every scan with timestamps, device type, and map pins — even when a finder never leaves a message.
Four checks. One clear status.
Protect readiness is a checklist, not a score. Each pet shows one of three states — with repair steps when something is missing.
QR tag
Paired and recently tested so finders can reach you.
Rescue profile
Finder-safe details filled in and ready to share.
Identification photo
A clear, current photo so your pet is recognizable.
Responders
At least two qualified people attached to your pet.
Free vs Protect
Identification and basic lost mode stay free. Protect unlocks the readiness system and deeper scan history.

The voice of a response
Named people. Real timestamps. No guessing.
The worst thing about a missing pet is the silence — not knowing whether anyone got the message. Protect is built so you always know who has it, when they took it, and what happens next.
That is the standard we hold every Protect feature to: say exactly what is true, name the person, stamp the time, and show the next action. Nothing vaguer than that is worth sending.
