Life360 Launches $7.99 QR Pet Tags and Expands GPS to Silver
Life360 launches $7.99 QR pet tags with app alerts and location details, adds care logs and Zoomies Alerts, and brings GPS tracking to $99 Silver plans.
Summary
Life360 launched $7.99 scannable pet tags on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. Scanning the QR code displays the owner’s contact details, alerts the family through the Life360 smartphone app and records the pet’s location, without requiring the finder to install Life360. If the pet escapes again, the family retains its last known location. Owners can update contact information through the pet’s app profile.
Care Logs now let families coordinate feeding, walks, medication and litter cleaning. GPS tracker users gain Zoomies Alerts for activity bursts and a Weekly Roundup covering distance walked and the family member who provided the most care. Life360 says families have added more than 8 million pets since last year’s GPS tracker launch, which uses Tile technology acquired in 2021. The lighter QR tag targets owners who do not want bulky GPS hardware, geofences or escape alerts. GPS trackers, previously limited to Gold and Platinum subscriptions, are now included in the $99 annual Silver bundle. Tags and trackers are sold through Life360 and Amazon in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the U.K.
Positives
- $7.99 QR tags alert the entire family and record location when scanned, while requiring no Life360 app from the finder.
- More than 8 million pets have been added to Life360 family accounts since its GPS pet trackers launched last year.
- $99 annual Silver bundles now include GPS pet trackers previously restricted to Gold and Platinum subscriptions.
- Care Logs coordinate feeding, walks, medication and litter cleaning across every family member.
- Zoomies Alerts and Weekly Roundup add activity, distance and caregiver insights for GPS tracker users.
Risks & concerns
- QR recovery depends on someone finding and scanning the tag, unlike continuous GPS tracking.
- Advanced geofences and escape alerts remain GPS features rather than capabilities of the $7.99 scannable tag.
- GPS access still requires at least the $99 annual Silver bundle.
- Sales are confined to the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the U.K.
