Pet Tracking Technology

 Recently I was talking to my neighbor and he was talking to me about how he was always losing his dog; He had no idea that pet tracking devices were even available! Not that I was surprised, I just found it ironic that I had a pet tracking site, and we had never really talked about the subject. I told him about the different options that were available, and he ended up purchasing a radio pet tracking device and uses it all the time! I decided that it would be helpful to give people some information on the technology available.

Radio Pet Tracking Using a radio pet tracking device is the most affordable way to track your pets. You can get radio transmitter collars in varying sizes, and a corresponding receiver that signals when pointed in the direction of you pet. So you can point the receiver in different directions, allowing you to basically use the 'hotter/colder' or 'marco/polo' approach to finding your pet. When the device is pointed in the direction of your pet, it will give you a signal. You can then approach that direction until you've found your pet. Most radio pet tracking devices can send and receive signals anywhere within 1 to 4 miles, depending on terrain and physical obstacles. Here are some radio pet tracking devices manufacturers that we've been able to find: Pettrax Innotek

GPS / GSM Pet Tracking GPS / GSM Pet Tracking is the newest technology available to track your pets. The basic concept: Your pet has a collar holding two devices: A GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver - Uses satellites to estimate position of your pet. Usually these GPS receivers can estimate your pets location to 15 meters or less. A GSM (Global System for Mobile Technology) modem. More or less, this device is a cell phone for you pet that can transmit your pet's location to your mobile handset (cell phone) via SMS (text message) technology GPS / GSM pet tracking devices are very reliable and insure that you can find your pet as long as it's in an area that has GSM cellular service. If you're interested in finding out whether or not there is GSM service in your area, you can find out at gsmworld.com. GPS pet tracking is the most reliable pet tracking available. Naturally it would be the most expensive.
