We all know that pets(dogs,cats)are easy to be stolen,go amiss,or stay away.Now, you might think that your dog will never escape, but this just isn’t true. Dogs escape all the time. They run out the door, dig under the fence, or even jump over the fence.A good pet GPS tracker helps you find your dog if they ever escape.
How does pet GPS tracker work?
Basically, they are just a GPS transponder that is attached to a dog collar. Different collars have different functionality though.
Some work the same as the smartphone app “Find my Phone” and allow you to pinpoint the exact GPS coordinates of the transponder on an app. Others are entirely self-contained and do not rely on GPS or your cellphone network.
You do have to charge the transponder. The battery life just depends on the model. Most transponders have a battery life of a few days.
Benefits of GPS Tracking System for Pets
Many pet owners are opting for cellular trackers and radio trackers due to its various benefits. Some of them are:
The GPS pet tracking technology has evolved a lot from being bulkier and heavier to lighter and smaller. This means the pet will feel relaxed after wearing the equipment, and give you peace of mind by not stripping it away.
Many pet tracking devices will allow owner to be heedful (email or text alerts) when their pets go beyond the safe perimeter. The ability to set safe zones makes it possible to know when the pet escapes from allowed areas and hence you can act accordingly before they go too far away.
With increasing rate of theft reports, no wonder that some pets are stolen and sold on cheap. So, one of the bonus features that some GPS tracking equipment manufacturers’ offer is the ‘pet search services’. A specialized service like this implies GPS location of the pet and make sure to bring missing animal back home.
Owners can monitor their pet activity for an extended period of time. This is possible because server of equipment manufacturer saves location history of pets, only you need to log in and check any change in activity.
How to choose a pet GPS tracker?
Your pet tracking device needs to be waterproof. Since you cannot dictate your pet where to go or not to, what will happen if it starts raining? Can you afford such a tracking device that won’t be functional at this moment?
When it comes to tracking the pet, you want a tracker that serves beyond the coverage area. If you have a very active pet, then don’t overlook the tracker coverage range before making a choice. A cellphone based tracker provides more reasonable range.
Pets are part of the family. Take all precautions to protect them. A GPS pet tracking device is all you need to achieve the peace of mind and to be sure of your pet’s history.
