Bokk Meow: A Mobile Application for Finding and Tracking Pets

Abstract

© 2018 IEEE. Nowadays, the number of pets lost is increasing in Thailand. This is because the pet owners cannot find their pet when it gets lost or pets may not have a chance to get back again due to an accident or dangerous disease. In order to prevent this problem, this research project proposes Bokk Meow, which is a mobile application for pet owners to find and track their pets anywhere and anytime. Bokk Meow has six main functions, which are managing user and pet information, tracking and finding pets by applying GPS technology with a tracking pet collar, planning a schedule for pet care and activities, posting and viewing news feeds, searching nearest pet clinics or pet shops, and viewing useful pet care and pet information. By using Bokk Meow, the pet owners can find their pets more conveniently than in the past and take primary care of their pets when they get sick. As a result, the application can help decrease the number of stray pets in the community.
