Is That Dog Lost? No, He’s On The GPS

Is That Dog Lost? No, He

They’re calling it SpotLight, and if your Spot has a habit of roaming, it could be ideal for you. It’s a tiny GPS unit that attaches to a dog’s collar and lets you find him if he’s decided to hit the road.

At 2.5 ounces, it’s tiny and lightweight, which is more than can be said for the $250 plus monthly fee the American Kennel Club (AKC) is charging for the device. However, it means you can track Fido and find out where he is via PC, smartphone or cell. Or owners can simply call or text the AKC, which will provide the dog’s location.

Track Fido Anywhere

Envision this: you take Fido for a walk and bring him home. You leave the front door open by accident and while you are distracted, your beloved runs out unnoticed. Half an hour later, you notice it’s too quiet. Panic mode time? Not so, says England-based Sarantel, if you have a PB100 pet tracking device attached to him.

The PB100 is liweight, water resistant and attaches to your pet’s collar. It uses built-in GPS and GSM technologies to help pass information on your lost dog’s location to Locatis, a location tracking specialization company Sarantel works with. Once you’ve notified Locatis your animal has gone missing via phone, SMS or the Internet, the company estimates the pet’s position and reports back to the owner.
