What is a GPS Dog Collar?

At last there is no need to worry when your dog wanders off. Thanks to latest digital and satellite technologies, there is a way to track your dog and prevent all those wasted hours looking around the neighborhood for him.
So how does it work? If you live in an area covered by the Global Positioning System (GPS), the satellite antennae fixed to the collar, or backpack, constantly finds signals emitted from at least four satellites. It is much like receiving signals on your cell phone network. GPS positioning can be accurate to within 15 meters.
If your dog goes missing, simply call the mobile phone number of the GPS Dog Collar from your own cell phone. The GPS receiver in the collar works out the position of your dog and sends the coordinates immediately as a SMS (Short Message Service). This is done through the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network and the coordinates are then displayed on your mobile phone screen. Some GPS collars can be configured to work with the Internet and the dog’s location can be tracked from specialized websites.
GPS dog collars are waterproof, contain rechargeable batteries and are light weight as well (approximately 200 g). Now each time you put on your pet’s collar, you know that he will be found, especially useful if he has been injured and is lying somewhere undetected. Go ahead and try a GPS dog collar – imagine being free from the worry and hassle of losing your pet.
