Life360, a family location-sharing and safety app, is expanding its pet-tracking capabilities with the introduction of $7.99 scannable pet tags and additional pet care features. The new scannable pet tags allow pet owners to include their contact information, and when scanned, they alert the pet’s family through the Life360 app, providing both contact details and the pet’s location. This feature aims to offer peace of mind to families searching for lost pets and helps track the pet’s last known location if it escapes from the finder’s control. Families can update their contact details through the Life360 pet profile within the app.

In addition to the scannable tags, Life360 is rolling out several new pet care features. These include “care logs” that enable families to schedule and track whether the pet has been fed, walked, given medication, or had its litter cleaned, with visibility for all family members. Another feature, “Zoomies Alerts,” tracks bursts of energy in pets using GPS trackers, while a “Weekly Roundup” recaps routines such as distance walked and highlights which family member provided the most care during the week. Furthermore, Life360 is making its pet trackers more affordable by including them in the $99-per-year Silver subscription bundles, in addition to the higher-tier Platinum and Gold subscriptions. The new pet tags and GPS trackers are available for purchase on Life360’s website and Amazon in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.K. Read more at TechCrunch
