Gadgets: Protect Your Pet with a GPS Collar
If you have ever lost a pet it is heartbreaking. The kids are upset and you feel horrible that you did not do more to keep the four-legged member of the family safe.
GPS is available to navigate a trip or a hike. GPS watches can monitor your workout. There is a dog collar that finds your lost dog using GPS technology as well. The PetSafe GPS Pet Locator allows you to be notified by cell phone, email or text message if your pet strays outside of the roam area that you specify. If you miss your notification for any reason there is a team of humans that you can call that will assist you in finding your pet 24 hours a day for 365 day per year.
The GPS Collar is best for larger dogs (30 pounds are heavier) probably due to the size of the device. It measures approximately 3.75″ x 2.5″ x 1.25″. Although it is not too large it would not be comfortable for smaller dogs. The photo above is from Amazon and gives you an idea of the size. The GPS device is weather resistant and alerts you if its battery runs low.
We invest years of our lives to caring for and loving our pets. They are a part of our families. GPS technology is a way to stay aware of their location no matter where you travel. If you are at work or on vacation you can be sure that your dog is at home where it is safe.
