No More Runaway Dogs With GPS Collars!
What do you get when you put a dog inside a fenced yard, all day, and leave him or her alone to pass their time? The truth is, you either get a very bored, sleepy dog, or you get a dog that has found a way to either jump the fence, dig under it, open the gate, or otherwise vanish from your yard. This happens all over America, every single day, and unfortunately the number of dogs that are lost, missing, or runaways is on the rise. What can we do?
There are actually two things we can do to make sure that your dogs, no matter how far they run, will always be returned to you. There is Nothing more reassuring than knowing that your pet will never be totally lost. The first way to prevent this, involves a vet visit, putting the dog under anaesthesia and implanting a micro-chip that is filled with information on the dog, you, your phone number and current address. This ensures that if your dog runs away, whenever someone finds him or her, the local vet, pet shelter or humane society will be able to scan the dog, find out about you, and get your pooch back to you ASAP. Not bad.
The second, much easier method of always finding your dog is a relatively new product: GPS Collars. Yes, we’re that technologically advanced now, we actually have GPS collars that monitors your dog’s whereabouts at all times. The coolest feature of many of the GPS Collars is this: You can set a “Safe” zone around where you will permit your dog to stray, if and when the dog leaves that zone, you’ll automatically receive an alert telling you when, and where the dog ventured out. Snazzy.
There are a few different types of GPS collars, the more expensive models actually give you a little screen that shows you in real-time, a radar blip of exactly where your dog is; the cheaper, more affordable models will send your alerts either to your cell phone or email address anytime the dog strays. Either way, both are extremely handy and extremely cool. They range in size from pretty large collars, to tiny little tags that can be added to your dogs existing collar. The prices range anywhere from $120 to $250 and most have a monthly service fee tacked onto them. The bottom line is, it’s worth it.
If you’re afraid of losing Your pet, these two methods, microchipping and GPS collars are simple, genius ways to always know where your pup is at all times. Peace of mind is a hard thing to put a price on, that is for sure.
