The Pawscout app
Care, always close.
Everything about your pet, in one living profile — the vet’s notes, their weight, the questions you ask an assistant that already knows them. And if they ever get out, it’s the page the person who finds them opens. Current, because you were using it.
Free to start. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Reminders that arrive
- The tablet on Tuesday, the vet at four. Set once; your phone does the remembering.
- Walks that map themselves
- When you want them: start a walk, pocket the phone, and the route lands in the diary.
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.

When it matters
The fastest way home is a neighbor with your number.
Most lost pets are found close to home, by someone nearby, within a day. The same profile you keep on ordinary days is what that person opens — and it works without an app, an account, or a battery.
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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 wayOn top of it
The app is free. Two things sit on top.
Pawscout Protect
SubscriptionReady before. Responding when it matters. Protect checks that the plan is still true — named checks with real freshness windows — and keeps a full history of every scan.

The Tag
OptionalTheir profile, on the collar. A durable QR tag that opens the same profile from the collar itself — no battery, nothing to charge, never out of date. Nothing their identity depends on.
Reunions
The notes families send after
Pawscout has helped bring thousands of pets home. The messages that follow are the part we keep.
“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.”
“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.
Is the assistant just a chatbot?
It’s specific to your pet. Every pet has their own ongoing conversation that starts knowing their breed, age, weight, vaccinations and allergies, and remembers what you discussed before. You can upload the vet’s PDF and ask questions about it, and tell it something new to update their profile. It won’t 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 the readiness system — named checks, freshness windows, 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.
