You can now buy a doggie gps on a collar to keep track of your dog....?
...Would you buy one for your pooch?
It also has a cell phone built-in. If your dog is lost, the person who finds him can press a button on the collar to call you. The system can also signal your cell phone if your dog wanders away from home.
My guys and I work as an emergency response search and rescue team. We are often asked to search for lost people in all kinds of terrain and weather. Both of my guys have GPS tracking collars, and I would not be without them. 90 percent of the time when we are working, my pal and I are attached by a long line. But on rare occasions I do have to release them. I have only had to use the GPS system once, but it was worth every penny. Cody had actually fallen into an old run off ditch and could not get out, and had a nasty sprain. While he was only out of my sight for a few moments, it seemed like an eternity when I realized I could no longer see him, and he was not responding. I turned to my GPS, and in about 3 minutes I found him. Now, neither one goes out without their collars on. There are several types of GPS Systems that are out now, but all fall into one of three categories; The first is a web based system that notifies you of your pet’s location via the web or cell phone. An example of this is globalpetfinder. This type of system is useful for being alerted to when your pet leaves a certain boundary. You can set up multiple areas for your pet to be in, or set up a boundary while you are traveling. This is a great system for finding your escape artist. This type of system typically costs around $300.00. A few words of warning on this type of system; It is not completely water proof and has a limited battery life. There is also an additional fee for the service. It will typically cost $18.00 to $20.00 a month depending on what service you sign up for, or how many times your pup escapes. You also need to be sure that your area is covered by the service. The second type of system is a true GPS transmitter and receiver type. An example of this is Garmin's Astro. This is the system that I use. It is very rugged and waterproof. It is designed to actually track your guy on a handheld GPS receiver. This receiver also has downloadable TOPO maps, area locations, a functioning handheld GPS with all the Garmin bells and whistles and costs around $600.00. This is a great and true tracking system. The third type is a combination of the two above. It actually will track via GPS map on your phone or PDA. An example of this is the Tracker System. I am not that familiar with this system, but have been told it is an excellent system, though a little cost prohibitive. While a GPS system is nice to be able to track your dog, particularly when you are traveling, camping, and things like that, I do not recommend it as a primary means to keep your pet at home. By keeping your pet at home you are making sure that they are safe. If you have an escape artist, as I do, I highly recommend using an Invisible Fence. It works incredibly well. I also highly recommend having your best friend tagged with a microchip. Collars have been known to fall off. Use the GPS tracking system as a backup, or when you and your pal leave home.
