Problem
Many lost pets end up in shelters annually, and current methods for identifying and returning them to their owners can be slow, unreliable, and require additional hardware such as microchips. Traditional pet identification methods lack the speed and accuracy needed for quick reunification.
Solution
Petnow offers a mobile application that uses AI-powered pet biometrics to identify and register pets, focusing on facial recognition and nose print scanning. The app allows users to quickly scan their pet's face to capture unique biometric data, similar to human fingerprints. This data is then used to generate accurate missing pet reports and send real-time alerts to nearby users, facilitating faster and more reliable pet recovery. The application aims to streamline the process of identifying lost pets and connecting them with their owners.
Target Audience
Pet owners who want a reliable and efficient way to identify and recover their lost pets, as well as animal shelters and rescue organizations looking to streamline the reunification process.
