Thousands of Pets Go Missing Every Year — Pets911 Aims to Modernize Pet Recovery

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - May 12, 2026 - PRLog -- Every year, thousands of pets go missing across North America, leaving owners scrambling to reunite with their dogs and cats as quickly as possible. While traditional engraved pet tags have remained largely unchanged for decades, Pets911 is introducing a modern approach to pet identification and recovery through smart digital pet tags designed for instant access to critical information.

Pets911's smart pet tags allow anyone who finds a lost pet to simply scan the QR code using their smartphone — no app or battery required. Once scanned, the pet owner can instantly receive SMS and email alerts that include the GPS location of where the tag was scanned, helping speed up recovery efforts and improve reunification outcomes.

"Our goal is to make recovering a lost pet faster, easier, and more reliable," said Brad Robb, President of Pets911. "Traditional pet tags can only display limited information, and phone numbers can change over time. We wanted to create a system that gives pet owners a smarter and more connected way to protect their pets."

Unlike traditional tags, Pets911 allows pet owners to maintain a live digital pet profile that can be updated anytime. Profiles may include:

• Owner contact information
• Emergency contacts
• Medical notes
• Vaccination details
• Pet photos
• Special care instructions

The platform is designed to work instantly with nearly any modern smartphone and does not require users to download an app to access pet information.

As pet ownership continues to grow, technology-driven safety solutions are becoming increasingly important for pet owners seeking added peace of mind. Pets911 believes modern digital identification can help reduce recovery times and improve communication between finders and pet owners during stressful situations.

The company also plans to expand beyond smart pet tags through its broader PETSMO platform vision, focused on digital pet identity, wellness, and connected pet services.
