Mobile-Friendly Pet Locator PetHub Closes $1.3 Million Seed Round
Seattle-based startup PetHub just closed its seed round of $1.3 million from angel investors (including PetHub founder Tom Arnold's dad!) for a service that helps lost pets find their way home. The company uses a combination of online pet profiles and scannable ID tags that allow anyone with a mobile phone to quickly access everything there is to know about the pet, including the owners' contact information, the pet's allergies and medications, dietary needs, immunizations, vet insurance details and more.For those with smartphones, the ID tags have a scannable QR code which links to the pet's mobile-optimized online profile. For feature phone-owning rescuers, there's a website URL as well as a 24/7 "Found Pet" hotline listed, too.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/TL8r0rMILYA/
