Life360 expands pet tracking with $7.99 scannable tags and new care-tracking tools

Life360 is adding pet-focused features aimed at helping families recover lost pets and coordinate daily care. The update includes scannable tags that alert owners when a pet is found, plus tracking for feeding, walks, medication, and more.

Life360 has rolled out new pet tracking features centered on recovery and routine care. The company’s new $7.99 scannable pet tags are designed to notify families when a lost pet is found and share the pet’s last known location.

Alongside the tags, Life360 is introducing additional care-tracking features that help households keep tabs on everyday pet tasks such as feeding, walks, medication, and more. The goal is to make it easier for families to coordinate pet care and respond faster if an animal goes missing.

For Telegram audiences and software developers, the update is another signal that family safety platforms are broadening beyond human location sharing into broader household coordination. Pet tracking combines the same core patterns developers know well — identity, alerts, location history, and shared task status — but applies them to a new and highly emotional use case.

Why it matters: pet recovery products can benefit from network effects, where a found tag can trigger a useful notification without requiring the owner to be nearby. The care-tracking features also show how consumer apps are increasingly turning into lightweight coordination tools for the home.
