When a pet gets lost, it is heartbreaking. Dogs often are returned to owners but cats rarely ever make their way back home. The PawScout Pet Finder wants to make sure that more cats and dogs find their owners with their social pet tracker.

This tracker uses your phone and keeps you abreast of where your animal is within a 200-foot radius which isn’t very far. You can expand your area by inviting friends, relatives, neighbors and well, everyone to install the app so you can see your pet in relation to any of the phones on your network.

This is a great option for people who live near family or are active in their community. After all, they can also tag their own pets and you can all do a bit more than just “keep an eye out” when their fur baby goes missing. If something happens you can use the app to send out a virtual lost dog flyer to help get your four legged friend back. PawScout Pet Finder is $29.95 and works with both Apple and Android devices.
