QR-Coded Pet ID Tags Enhance Pet Sitter Clients' Peace of Mind
November 11, 2011 - Seattle, Washington – PetHub, Inc., a software company focused on creating comprehensive pet safety solutions, announced today that it has joined the Pet Sitters International (PSI) Preferred Provider program. This relationship allows PSI's nearly 7,000 members to provide PetHub's QR-coded pet ID tags directly to their clients.
"PetHub is excited to be working with the world's largest educational association for pet sitters," said Tom Arnold, Founder and CEO of PetHub. "We love partnering with groups and organizations that support, care for and protect pets. That's what PetHub is all about."
PetHub's solution leverages smartphones, QR codes, GPS technology, and websites to help provide rich details to anyone helping to get a lost pet home fast. The key is the pet's PetHub.com profile, which goes beyond listing typical contact information. The profile provides pet sitter details, travel contact info, veterinarian emergency contact information, critical medical or dietary requirements, and much more.
"PSI is excited to welcome PetHub as a Preferred Provider and make the unique QR-coded pet ID tag and online services available to PSI members," said Patti Moran, PSI President. "Over the last 18 years, PSI has developed a solid reputation for providing pet sitters with leading-edge products and services that help them launch and build successful businesses. The PetHub ID tag is a wonderful addition to PSI's member offerings because it goes beyond the typical pet ID tag and includes effective features that provide pet owners with peace of mind."
PetHub's solution was recently named one of the Best New Products of 2011 by Dog Fancy magazine and was awarded the silver medal in the PET AGE Magazine Retailer Select Awards at H.H. Backer's 45th Annual Pet Industry Trade Show.
