You love your pet like family. But their care? It’s scattered everywhere. Vet receipts in email. Vaccines buried in PDFs. Medication reminders… forgotten. And traditional metal tags just sit there. Pawch changes that. Pawch is your pet’s all-in-one digital health vault and active safety net. It automatically organizes records, tracks health, and actively protects them—so you never miss a moment or a medication. No spreadsheets. No typing. No stress. Pawch Smart Tags (Instant Recovery) Equip your pet with an NFC + QR enabled Smart Tag. It’s battery-free, weatherproof, and actively works to bring them home. Get instant location ping alerts the second it's scanned, and use dynamic privacy toggles to control exactly what finders can see. Smart Health Vault (Zero Effort) Forward vet emails to your pet’s unique Pawch inbox. We automatically read, organize, and store everything—records, invoices, prescriptions. Health Timeline That Actually Makes Sense Track weight, activity, symptoms, and more. See your pet’s entire health story in one clean, visual timeline you can share with your vet. Never Miss Medications or Vaccines Smart reminders ensure you stay on top of treatments, checkups, and routines—without thinking about it. Your Entire Care Team, In One Place Keep vets, groomers, walkers, and sitters organized. Attach notes, contacts, and instructions to each pet. Instant Sharing (No More Long Texts) Generate clean, shareable care guides and digital passes in seconds—for sitters, daycares, or emergencies.
