## What is Kodaboda?

Kodaboda is the neighborhood safety net and travel companion for pets — and the people who love them.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO 
See live, neighbor-reported hazards on your walking routes before you leash up: coyotes and wildlife, snakes, toxic bait and plants, broken glass, hot pavement, unsafe water, fireworks, and more — 17 categories in all. Confirm reports that are still there, resolve the ones that are gone, and get push alerts for new hazards within the radius you choose.

THE LOST PET SAFETY NET
Register your pet's unique identifying marks — a birthmark, a coat patch, a tail kink — with photos. If they ever go missing, one tap alerts every neighbor within 10 miles of the last-seen spot, on every membership level. Sightings pin to a live map in real time. When someone finds your pet, they verify those exact marks in the app before your contact info is shared — so reunions are fast and safe, with no guesswork and no strangers chasing your dog. Need more reach? A one-time Search Boost expands a single alert up to 50 miles, and everyone newly covered is notified instantly.

Reporting a lost pet, reporting sightings, and helping a pet get home are free. Always.

ADVENTURE, PLANNED AROUND THEM
Search any city or address, plan road-trip routes, and see pet-friendly parks, dog parks, cafés, hotels, beaches, and rest stops along your entire route — Add them yourself, or find them with a quick search, each one is vouched for (or warned about) by pet people who've actually been there. Vote spots up or down so the map stays honest.

A COMMUNITY FOR EVERY PET
Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits — everyone's welcome. Share photos and videos, join groups for your breed or your city, hang out in group chat, and message members directly. Every post saves to your pet's diary: public for the community, or private just for you. Filters, trimming, and editing tools are built into the composer.

Vaccination records are verified by our team, so pets on lost alerts can carry a "Vaccinated" seal — helpers never have to wonder.
