A: First, create a simple online profile for your pet, entering the unique 6-digit alphanumeric code from their Pawsitively Safe Pet Finder tag.

When someone finds your pet, they’ll enter the tag’s unique code in a mobile or desktop internet browser and have instant access with direct links to call, text or email you. At the same time, you’ll receive instant text and email notifications that your pet has been found. The email will include a map that shows the approximate location where your pet was found.

A: Pawsitively Safe is more than an ID tag or microchip, it’s a Pet Finder System. First, your personal information is always safe and secure within the Pawsitively Safe site, not publicly displayed. Only someone who finds your lost pet and enters their unique code will have access to your contact information. Additionally, you can easily access and update your profile at any time. Unlike typical ID tags, with Pawsitively Safe, you’ll receive an instant text message and email with a map that shows where your pet was found. And unlike microchips, any person that finds your pet can contact you – no special trip to the vet required.

A: When someone finds your pet and enters the tag’s unique code, you’ll receive a text notification as well as an email with a Google map of the approximate location of where your pet was found. The map’s accuracy is dependent on the pet finder’s mobile phone location settings and service. Please note that the map is not actively tracking your pet’s location, rather it shows the approximate location of where the pet was found. Every time the tag’s unique code is entered, you’ll receive a new email with the mapped location.
