Congratulations to FI grad PetHub, who was recently awarded the 2012 Industry Recognition Award by Pet Business Magazine for Innovative Pet ID. The Seattle based startup, who offers an internet based approach to finding lost pets was recognized as the leading solution in the category of Dog Identification Products.

"We are blown away by how well the pet industry has received our comprehensive, leading-edge approach to pet protection," said Lorien Clemens, Manager of Marketing and Outreach. "To win Dog Fancy's 'Editor's Choice Award,' Pet Age Magazine's 'Retailer Select Award' and now Pet Business magazine's prestigious industry award, all within 1 year of each other, is humbling to say the least."

PetHub’s comprehensive tools and new technology to get pets home safe includes QR code pet ID tags, GPS mapping, and real-time notifications. The company is currently working on multiple hardware and software patents to further develop their system and protect pets to an even greater extent.

Founder,Tom Arnold says "For less than $5 per month pet owners can provide state-of-the-
art protection for dogs, cats, and even horses. Most people are willing to give up the equivalent of one Starbucks™ coffee a month to keep a four-legged family member safe.”
