GPS Dog Collars - Keeping Track of Fido the High-Tech Way...

I was driving back from the health club listening to a commercial for GPS dog collars, something I didn't know existed. So I came home to see what kind of GPS dog collars they have on Amazon, and found some.


This Garmin Astro GPS Dog Tracking System has got great reviews from about 20 customers so far, and the product description says that if you're tired of losing your dog in tall weeds and such, put that thing on him.


I didn't know it had a vest-type thing and everything for the doggie to wear.


Then there's this GARMIN 010-11049-00 Astro DC 30 Wirelesss Collar Transmitter, which I'm guessing has to be bought in conjunction with the other products -- check the reviews and that frequently bought together listing beneath the others to know for sure. So far, that's got about 5 good reviews.


We've been looking at puppies this weekend at our local neighborhood rescue dog store called "One of a Kind Pets" -- but we haven't taken the plunge to buy a new dog yet.


Our two Rotties died about two years ago, so we're not sure we're up for the challenge.


But I'm reading Marley and Me after seeing the movie, so look out! I'm getting the urge for a new puppy.


Anyway, I was thinking people could throw those doggie GPS collars in their kids' bag (or husband's for that matter) but I know there are smaller GPS trackers for that...

I wonder why it didn't become popular earlier. I mean one of the first things i'd think if I invented gps would be "so this thing lets me track different things? what gets lost often?" Obviously animals get lost all the time - it should be a norm to buy collars like this.

Nice post..........

Thank you for sharing the benefits of the GPS dog collar. Last year nearly 10 million pets went missing but only 2 million were found and returned to their original owners. Now tracking & recovering pets through GPS technology is very easy. The GPS dog collar offers total peace of mind since your dog is always being monitored, no matter where you are.

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
