About this app

With Pawscout’s free app, safety and community are always in paw’s reach. Help lost pets, connect with local pet owners, track walks, and browse thousands of pet points of interest.

A Free App to Help Lost 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 in the search, and our Bluetooth-enabled Tag (optional) alerts users when a lost pet is nearby. A detailed medical profile helps pet heroes care for your furry BFF until you can be reunited.

Connect with Pets Nearby
Build your local network of pet lovers with Pawscout’s social tools. Share photos, arrange walks and playdates, and alert neighbors to pet hazards or pet-friendly places. Invite friends and family to expand your “petwork.”

Track Walks and Set a Virtual Pet Leash
Pawscout, the Smarter Pet Tag (MSRP $19.99), works with our free App to keep tabs on your favorite furball. Track walks and monitor your pet’s activity levels. Or set an outdoor virtual pet leash while you’re outside, and receive alerts on your phone when your pet goes out of range.

-The Pawscout App relies on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to communicate with your Pawscout Smarter Pet Tag. Your pet must be within 300 feet of you or anyone with the Pawscout App to locate him or her.
-The Pawscout App relies on Location Services and Bluetooth, which must be enabled on your phone.
-Works with Lollipop (Android 5) or newer.

Ratings and reviews

This app does not work will not stay connected for more than 5 minutes does not record walks accurately only get about 0.02 on the distance then stops I have been trying it for a week now and it's getting worse instead of better I have changed battery and tried it on 3 different phones all with the same results. This thing is worthless don't waste your time or money on this product. NO GOOD AT ALL. GARBAGE

It worked fine when I bought it, then not at all. I tried again 7mo later, no problems. Then it just asked me to update her tag, then blank. I'm having issues w the tag/app, but when it works, it works great. Just wish it was GPS instead of Bluetooth. She's going to be my very last pet, so she's everything to my hubby and I. The battery is fine, the app says she hasn't been seen for 2wks! It won't update. Also, I just shared I the new feed that's set up, and someone else's pic is in my space!

So the original rating Ingave the app was 1 star because it just plain didnt work. Apparently I got in at the exact time of an update that had a glitch causing it to crash. They responded and fixed the glitch immediately. Second, my battery was dead on arrival when i tried to use the tag. I emailed them about the issue and they responded right away to fix the problem. The service customer service is beyond good. Hopefully the actual experience is as well when the battery arrives
