This is the coolest thing we’ve seen in awhile… Global Pet Finder! This slightly bulky, attachment for your pet’s collar has a built in GPS transmitter – it’s like a Lojack for your pet!
Once you purchase the device you also sign up for service that allows you to create a virtual fence, or boundaries in which your pet normally roams. Anytime your pet wanders outside that area you are sent a notification on your computer or cell phone. Then you receive the continuously updated location of your pet in text or map format. This is a big, non-invasive, step beyond the micro chip that you implant in case your lost pet is found. This will help you find your dog who may have dug under the fence, or chased a squirrel too far, or was abducted and held for ransom (hey, it could happen)!
The device has practical, daily applications as well. It can even monitor the temperature and alert you when it becomes dangerously hot or cold for your pet to be outside.
At $300, plus the cost of the monitoring service, it may not be in everybody’s price range, but the peace of mind it could provide is priceless. If you are interested, you should visit their site now – the Global Pet Finder is currently on sale for less than $250, it’s practically a bargain!
