Life360 rolled out new pet care features ahead of International Dog Day, including Shared Care Logs that let families create recurring routines for walks, feedings and medications, with reminders prompting Circle members to log completed care that is visible to everyone.
The launch includes a $7.99 stainless-steel QR code Pet Tag that lets anyone who finds a lost pet contact the owner or share the location with the family Circle without downloading an app, alongside a new $99 Silver Bundle that brings Life360's GPS Pet Tracker to Silver subscribers who previously required Gold or Platinum tiers.
With more than 8 million pets on the platform and more than 40% living in households of four or more, the update reflects Life360's research finding that 56% of pet parents view raising a pet together as a relationship stress test.
