Dog GPS Collars
"The average dog is a nicer person than the average person."
Andrew A. Rooney
Dog GPS collars are the latest in hot technology. If you're looking for a proven way to keep track of your pets, then look no further than GPS and two-way wireless technology.
GPS, or global positioning system, provides an excellent way to track your dog's whereabouts, no matter where you are. Simply attach the GPS collar to your animal and voila! You can locate him or her in a flash.
Here are just a few situations where pet tracking will give you peace of mind:
- Theft prevention. Pets nowadays are a valuable asset. Protect your investment and your best friend with pet GPS.
- While you travel. If you lose your dog in an unfamiliar area, a GPS pet tracker will make finding him or her easier.
- The backyard escape artist. Does your pooch love to climb fences? Keep him within range with a GPS dog collar.
Consider the options available to you when searching for the right GPS dog collar. Some key things to look for when making your choice:
- Water resistant. If your pup goes splashing through a creek, will the system hold up?
- Weatherproof. Can the unit handle extremes in cold and heat?
- Coverage area. Obviously, the more coverage the system provides, even in heavily wooded areas, the better.
- Update frequency. If your puppy is lost, you need to find her fast. Frequent location updating is a must.
- Cost. With GPS for dogs costing upwards of $1500, finding effective systems for a reasonable price is important.
Currently, there are limited choices in finding GPS collars for your dog.Some companies to consider: For European customers: www.tracedog.fr The Global Pet Finder from www.globalpetfinder.com or REI.com is not recommended for cats or toy dogs (though one is on the way!). However, there are a lot of reasons to recommend the product: - Harmless. It's non-invasive, requiring no installation or surgical implantation and does not use electric shock on your pet.
- Build a virtual fence of any size. Upload up to five fence locations for use at any one time.
- Any time your dog wanders outside his boundary, GlobalPetFinder alerts you immediately and provides continual updates to your cell phone, PDA or computer.
- Switch modes to travel with your pet outside the virtual fence without disruption.
- If you lose your animal, simply dial F-O-U-N-D from your phone or PDA to locate your dog immediately.
- GlobalPetFinder monitors temperature, too, so owners will be alerted if conditions become dangerously hot or cold.
- Available to Canadian pet owners, too.
- Cost: $349.99 (requires $34.99 activation fee and monthly service plan).
