Woof – Pet Safety

The concept was great- protect your pets if something happens to you. Unfortunately the app developer just couldn’t make it work quite right. The timer would recognize that we left our residence but never stop and reset upon return. This resulted in notices of concern from WOOF almost going to the wellness check stage if you didn’t manually shut it down. I worked with Arsy directly over months to try and resolve the issue but to no avail. I tried several phones to eliminate the problem but it was the same result. I am unaware of any other product that will perform this vital task. It was a perfect solution to this nagging concern for our pets but it failed in the end. Please Arsy, get it together.

As a senior citizen with no family, this might be a pet lifesaver. I agree with the Sharks though, that the name and dog icon doesn’t work. More people in the US have cats than dogs and many have other types of pets (fish, birds, gerbils, etc) so I really hope you make changes. What about “Ark” which was a safe place for animals?

I thought this looked great after shark tank and thought sharks were crazy to pass up. Bought it and then realized it won’t work for me because I work from home so leaving my home for a short walk won’t reset time and will give false trigger. Somedays I don’t leave home which would set off trigger. Too much to manage. It should be based on phone activity and not gps. If I open up my phone, then I’m likely alive and well and so is my dog. Btw, make it phone activity based (not distance/gps based) and you have a new app for older adults or single people and no phone activity triggers alarm to care givers, human and pet alike.
