We talked about the latest GPS technology that will now allow you to find out where your lost pet has run off to in the previous post. Finding a lost pet is a very serious matter though and you shouldn’t just buy the first company you read about. You need to really decide what you want out of your company. There are a few more reputable ones that should be at the top of your list though.
Garmin, the company that produces GPS systems for cars, also produces a version to track your dog. This is called Astro. You will get a lot of bang for your buck with this product. You will be able to use this one system to track up to ten dogs at a time. This means you won’t need a different reader for each of your devices. The tracker itself comes in the form of a collar that you put around your pets neck. The collar will send a signal back to the receiver every five seconds. It can pinpoint their exact location through this method and it can actually estimate their activity at the time. This makes it much easier to tell if you’re chasing a running dog or if they’ve picked a nice cool spot to rest.
Another option is the Global Pet Finder. It works as a GPS collar device. This can work alongside your choice of mobile device by sending alerts about their recent movements. This one can also set up a system of virtual walls that instantly turn on the full system to report this. The device can even use a built in thermometer to tell whether they are too cold or too hot at their current location. The best part may be that you just have to dial “FOUND” on your mobile device to activate the system. This means you can be away from your home when you activate it. If they run away during a trip or a walk you can instantly track them down with the use of your phone.
You certainly have a few good alternatives when it comes to GPS devices for your pets. These two should certainly be first and foremost during your consideration though. You don’t want to be cheap when your pet’s happiness is at stake.

I’m sure that one of your biggest fears is your furry little friend getting away from you. Your little buddy will fill your life with joy, but they don’t always make good decisions. It is far to easy for them to accidentally get away from you. Few pets can manage to find their way home once they enter another confusing area. If you really want to find your pet again you should plan ahead and invest in a GPS tracking device.
This technology was first developed by the military as a means of creating tactical plans during combat situations. A system of satellites receive the signal emitted by the activated tracker and then report the location of said signal back to base. This great technology has now made its way into the free market. The same technology that works to help you find your way around town can be used to track down any of your pets if they run off.
It will essentially work just like lo jack. If they run off you can contact the company and activate the little marker. You can have a tracker placed in their collar or your veterinarian can inject a little tracker under their skin during an examination. It is usually quick cost effective as well, especially considering the pain of losing your pet.
This is just a start into the world of GPS for your pets. If your pet even has the lightest chance of getting away you should at least look at your GPS options.
