Scan, add a photo, or manually enter these numbers to help rescuers get your pet back to you safely and quickly if they go missing. Go to Pet Profile in the Pawscout App and enter the numbers today. Thank you for supporting the Pawscout community!

The holidays are all about sharing and putting our best paw forward, and now you can do that more easily than ever on Pawscout with direct messaging.
Our new release automatically creates group pet chats so that you can make sure your kid is really walking the dog and changing the kitty litter, or just share goofy pet photos with a captive and adoring audience: your pet parents and guardians. You can also contact any Pawscouter directly by selecting their profile and then the “Message” icon. Don’t want to be bothered? You can always mute pet chats or direct messages.
We are very excited to bring these major changes from our hearth to yours. Happy holidays, stay safe, and as always, please write to support@pawscout.com with suggestions and feedback.
