Fastest Pet Recovery Solution Grows Stronger through New Acquisition

SEATTLE - Aug. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- PetHub.com, the world's fastest way to get lost pets home, has acquired Atlanta-based PetQRtag.com.

In over a year, 300 PetHub "Pack Members" have been returned to their families, with 97% home in under 24 hours, and 35% in less than 4-hours. "Considering the national average is that less than 2% of cats and 18% of dogs ever make it home again at all, this is an incredible accomplishment," said Lorien Clemens, Director of Marketing & Outreach at PetHub, Inc.

One in three animals will go missing in its lifetime. If an animal reaches a shelter, 25% will be returned to their original families, 25% will be "re-homed" to new families, and 50% will sadly never exit the shelter alive.

"This is a problem that we've solved," said Tom Arnold, Founder of PetHub.com. "I am a big supporter of microchips, and all of my four-legged kiddos are 'chipped,' but I'm frustrated when people celebrate the return of an animal after it was missing for 5-years – nearly half of many animals' lives! -- when he or she could have been returned in under a day with our service."

PetHub's use of wireless technology, GPS, Bluetooth, a database of shelters, free accounts, a 24-hour call center, and utilizing the fact that all of us have cell phones, is what has led to PetHub's astounding recovery record and exponential growth.

"PetQRtag.com and PetHub share a common vision: to get animals back to their families," said Mark Kooyman, founder of PetQRtag.com.  "PetHub has built an incredible solution and I'm excited to introduce our users to PetHub's ever-growing approaches to keeping animals safe."

The PetHub.com Service

PetHub's service provides a free Internet web account for pet owners, unlimited pet profiles, and the ability to link a digital ID tag to an animal's free profile at PetHub.com.  The profile shows important information about the animal, including multiple emergency contacts, veterinary records, medical insurance policies, critical medications, dietary needs, and much more, all safely encrypted, password protected, and visible only when the owner permits.
