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

Loses connection when standing right next to your pet. Device not water resistant. A little water and the battery and tag are done. No I'm not going to bother opening another ticket. I'm done. I've discontinued the subscription. My dog went for a swim and fried another tag. It was constantly losing it's connection when my pet was right next to me as several other people have reported and you just reply with the same canned messages instead of fixing the problems. I'm not buying another one unless the product is improved. I just want to rate your product/service honestly and warn others about it's many defects. Great idea. Poor execution.

I like this system BUT both with the old model and new model, regardless of a new battery, every time we go for a walk, I open up the app and it "can't locate tag." So I have to manually push the tag. It lights up blue and then it connects. I have to do this every day. If he were to actually escape, I wouldn't be able to find him. Which is the point of the app. So I'm looking for something else that doesn't just turn off randomly so consistently.

The app is horrible. Bought this to track our walks and to have a backup method in case one of the dogs gets out. This will not do either.The app is clunky at best. Something as basic as searching for a friend's profile on there is impossible. The tracker itself constantly doesn't work, we have gone on a couple walks now with it, and one didn't show up at all, and one tracked for .11 miles on a 1.5 mile walk. Have had for 4 days and half the battery is gone already. Cust srvc doesn't care either
