If you’re a fur parent, you wouldn’t want your babies to ever leave your sight and go straight into harm’s way. But sometimes, even under your vigilant watch, your naughty little critters still manage to escape. You need to be prepared in case this happens. A good way to monitor your pet’s movements is through a GPS tracker. And one of the most reputable companies that make pet GPS trackers is Whistle.
The latest in its line of trackers is the Whistle 3, which is currently available on Amazon for only $64. It’s normally sold for $80, so you get a cool $16 savings.
The Whistle 3 provides nationwide location tracking of your wayward pet. It can pinpoint its exact location with Whistle’s top-rated smart GPS activity tracker, anywhere AT&T 3G cellular service is available.
With the Whistle 3’s iOS/Android app you can set up a subscription plan, as well as custom alerts. Just download the free app then sync it to the tracker. Through the app, you can configure geofencing which will alert you in case your pet leaves the vicinity, like your home and your yard, via proactive alerts through text, app, or email notifications. You can track your pet’s location over 24-hour periods to see where they went, when they went there — and with whom.
Whistle 3 also includes activity tracking, allowing you to put your dog’s activity in context to ensure that it’s getting the right level of activity for its unique breed, weight, and age. Through the app, you’ll be able to find out if your pet is getting enough exercise to be assured that it’s happy and healthy.
Whistle 3 is designed to go wherever your pet goes. It is waterproof, rugged, and lightweight, with a battery life that lasts up to seven days. It only weighs an ounce so your pet won’t even know that it’s there.
The package includes the Whistle 3 GPS tracker, a rubber collar attachment that can securely fit collars up to 1-inch wide, a USB charging dock and cable, and a quick start guide.
