Life360 has introduced scannable pet tags priced at $7.99 that alert families when lost pets are found and display their last known location. The company also rolled out new care-tracking features to monitor feeding, walks, and medication schedules.
The new tags integrate with Life360's existing family location platform, extending the service beyond household members to include pets. When a lost pet is found, the tag's QR code or NFC chip can be scanned to immediately notify the owner and share the animal's location.
Life360's expanded pet features include a care tracker for managing daily pet routines. Users can log feeding times, walks, medication, and other care activities, helping multiple household members stay coordinated on pet responsibilities.
The $7.99 price point positions Life360's offering competitively in the pet tracking market. The tags leverage the company's existing infrastructure rather than requiring a separate GPS or cellular service, simplifying setup for current Life360 subscribers.
The pet tracking expansion represents Life360's effort to deepen household engagement with its platform. Previously focused on tracking family members' locations and communication, the service now addresses pet safety and household management tasks.
