Los Angeles, CA (September 10, 2019) - Wag!, the on-demand dog walking and boarding app, announces that Wag! Tag -- a smarter dog tag that delivers more information to help get your lost dog home more quickly -- is now available to consumers nationwide. With this new offering, Wag!’s community of passionate pet care providers can be leveraged to provide immediate and robust lost dog search support. Utilizing this community and simple technology, Wag! is reinforcing its commitment to safety. 

Pet parents no longer need to rely on traditional dog tags with their limited information, they can now use the smarter Wag! Tag, which offers the following features: 

• Easily Accessible Information - Each tag utilizes a simple, scannable code that makes it easy for anyone with a smartphone who finds your lost pup to access their information. 

• Personalized Dog Information in One Place - Go beyond a traditional tag and fill your dog’s profile with all the information you’d want someone to know if they found your furry family member — emergency contacts, secure drop-off locations, allergies, vaccinations, and other helpful notes about your dog.

• Lost Dog Search Support (with Wag! Tag Complete) - Wag! Tag Complete comes with active support from walkers on Wag! to help find lost dogs faster.  This feature also increases local awareness by providing shareable digital flyers, proactively posting to lost dog platforms.

"Our love for dogs is what led us to launch the Wag! Tag,” says Hilary Schneider, Wag! CEO. “With our amazing community of walkers in more than 100 cities across the country, we have a network of caring and passionate dog lovers who can be notified to help a lost pup return home more quickly. More than 3.5 million dogs go missing each year, and we believe the Wag! Tag will help more of them reunite with  their families.”
