Never let your pet go naked! That’s just one of the excellent tips you’ll learn from Lorien Clemens on how to ensure your pet does not get lost, and if they do, how to ensure a swift return home.
Lorien is the “Producer of Pawsome” (Vice President of Operations & Marketing Programs) for PetHub, the first company to launch a QR code ID tag for pets. Lorien lives her life asking, “Is what I’m doing right now helping to save more pets?” and her work at PetHub has certainly done that. In just seven years of growth, the company has significantly impacted the Return to Owner (RTO) rate in the United States. In 2010, RTO for dogs was less than 18% and under 2% for cats after being lost. Today, 96% of PetHub members’ pets are home in under 24-hours and less than 2% ever reach an animal shelter.
