What about the new law about robo-calling? Will they be affected by that?
LostMyDoggie.com, LLC is classified and registered as an exempt organization by the DNC, thus we can phone your neighbors who are on the Do Not Call List.
Looks like an amazing opportunity for spammers to hammer a specific neighborhood ... or for teens to crank call the whole neighborhood.
How effective would: "Your neighbour "Buy lots of Acme products" has lost their dog." be?
This is a great example of a business where the revenue opportunity when sold as an insurance policy may be much higher than when sold as a per-incident/per-claim service. Reposition as lost pet insurance, with differing rates based on type of pet, age of pet, whether or not pet has a homeagain RFID implant, etc. Perhaps also offer a standard response or a premium response, where the standard includes robocalls, crai…
At $29/year you'd have to hope that only 1 in 5 (perhaps even less) owners actually used your service in a year. What about that lady down the road who's dog gets out each week?

This class of startup is really interesting. From what I've read MagicJack could do $100MM in revenue and WebKinz is a cash factory throwing off $750MM per year. Both utilize software, but it isn't the lead aspect of the service.
These companies really fly under the radar relative to the other hot startups of the day. ReadWriteWeb covers them to some degree, but it is an area that deserves a LOT more coverage.

I don't think many people want to buy insurance whose maximum possible payout comes down to a couple of hundred bucks. People generally only insure against risks which they can't afford.

In principle you might be onto something but I think the pricing etc. and cost of running this service makes use it when you need it more appropriate. At $29/year you'd have to hope that only 1 in 5 (perhaps even less) owners actually used your service in a year. What about that lady down the road who's dog gets out each week?
I agree that "insurance" is the way to pitch this for maximum profit. People, including mostly rational people, will pay a [relative] lot to make themselves feel better about the chances of recovering their pet should it ever become lost.
