We are constantly
seeking feedback to help us improve the Tagg user experience and the response
has been overwhelmingly positive. Through our engagement with the pet community
we learned that simple changes in the pricing structure and expanded sales
channels would help to make Tagg even more accessible. Tagg customers know
we’re listening,” said Dave Vigil, president of Snaptracs.
Tagg – The Pet
Tracker has customers in all 50 states across the United States. It offers dog
and cat owners the convenience of locating their pet right from their mobile
phone, and this capability is enhanced with the release of an iPhone app. The
Tagg app enables pet parents to locate their pet on a map using the mobile app
on their mobile phones, track their whereabouts and get driving directions to
their current location right from their phone.
Adding to the
convenient and seamlessly integrated features, the app also locates nearby
