Why is Buddylog Necessary?
The time our companion animals share with us flows differently.
What feels like a short time to us is their entire lifetime, and during that period, we give them love, and they reciprocate with their own affection.
During this brief but precious time, meant to be filled with cherished memories, accidents sometimes happen, leading to their loss. From the perspective of a pet owner, losing a companion animal, who is truly like family, is a source of immense sadness and deep pain.
According to statistics on lost pets in the U.S., approximately 15% of dog and cat owners report losing their pet about once every five years.
While a relatively high percentage of lost dogs were reunited with their owners, only about 34% of lost cats were able to return home.
Even when pets roam familiar neighborhoods, they can sometimes get lost due to sudden, unforeseen circumstances.
For instance, a dog might get lost if their leash slips during a walk in an unfamiliar place, or a cat might panic from a car horn and run off into an area they don't know.
Lost animals can end up trapped on dangerous roads with heavy traffic or even fall into the hands of a psychopathic animal abuser. Therefore, it's crucial to find lost and stray animals as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, animals accustomed to human care might not be able to survive on their own in the wild when lost, tragically leading to their demise.
Buddylog offers a comprehensive solution to the heartbreaking problem of lost pets.
We leverage technology and community to increase the chances of happy reunions and prevent future tragedies.
Our app focuses on
• Lost Pet Tracking
With Buddylog, you can track your pet's location if they go missing. Even without a GPS device, you can receive real-time location updates from other Buddylog users.
This makes it easier for Buddylog users to respond effectively when their pet is lost.
• Animal Recognition
No more wondering who owns that animal you see on the street or the one that's shown up at your home.
By taking a photo of the animal with the Buddylog app, it recognizes the animal's appearance and allows you to view their detailed profile. This lets you instantly check various information, such as whether the animal in front of you has an owner, if they're a lost pet, or if they're simply out for a walk.
• Social Media
On the app, you can share photos and updates about various animals and connect with others.
Use it as a channel to connect with and learn about the diverse animals in this world. If you're already sharing news about your pets on other social media platforms, consider sharing your Buddylog profile as well. It's an easy way to record, cherish, and revisit precious memories with your companion animals anytime.
• Privacy
At Buddylog, the focus is on animals, not people. Buddylog prioritizes animal safety and protection, and the animals' profiles.
If you wish to share information about your pet but prefer not to disclose your personal details, that's perfectly fine. Privacy settings allow you to prevent your personal information from being shown to other users.
Additionally, an animal's location is only visible to their family or guardian, or to users specifically designated by that guardian.
