WHEN THE WORST HAPPENS

- Smart QR Tag: A scannable QR on your pet's collar. Anyone who finds them - neighbor, walker, vet, kid in the park - can contact you in one tap. No accounts, no installs required for the finder.
- AirTag-ready: Pin your pet's location alongside Apple's Find My network for the precision tracking you already trust.
- Real-time alerts from nearby protectors: The moment an owner reports a missing pet in your area, the alert lands on your map. Every nearby user becomes one more set of eyes.
- Sightings & hazards: Spotted a loose dog? Saw a hazard your neighborhood should know about? Tap and add it to the map. Owners get notified within seconds.
- Emergency vets, mapped - 24/7 veterinary clinics shown on the community map by default. When your pet is hurt, you don't have time to Google.
THE NETWORK IS THE PRODUCT
AmberPaws is built around protectors/people who agreed to be part of someone else's recovery story. Every active user is one more set of eyes for lost pets in their city. The more protectors, the faster lost pets find their way home.
You become a protector the moment you add your first pet. From that point on, alerts in your area surface on your map, and your pet is registered in the network, so the next time someone scans a QR tag or reports a sighting, it counts.
WHEN YOUR PET IS SAFE AT HOME
AmberPaws also helps you take care of them day-to-day:
- AmberBrain: A 24/7 AI assistant for pet care questions. Not a replacement for your vet, but the friend who knows what to do at 2am when the practice is closed.
- Health profile: Vaccines, weight, diet, neutering, vet contact. One screen. Share with your vet in seconds.
- Family sharing: Co-manage your pet with family, walkers or sitters. Everyone stays in sync, no group chats required.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
You control what's visible. We never sell your data. Your pet's identity stays private until you choose to make it public which usually only happens when they're missing and you need every eye on the lookout.
WHY WE EXIST
AmberPaws was built because too many missing pets never make it home. Every pet you register strengthens the network for every other pet parent in your city.
Protect what you love most.
