How to Choose an Affordable Pet GPS System For Your Family Dog

;




Global Positioning Systems for dogs have long been reserved only for professional hunters. Because of the advance in technology these dog trackers have been made affordable and pet GPS systems are now a simple, effective way to always know where your family pet is.





Two basic options for Pet GPS Systems





The first option involves a very low equipment cost and a monthly monitoring fee. The monthly cost usually ranges between $9.99 and $19.99 and most will include the following:





1. Up to three dogs (separate equipment costs for each animal)





2. Real-time tracking





3. Instant notification by text message if dog leaves pre-determined "safe zone"





4. On-demand updates of pet's location via text message.





The second option eliminates the need for a monthly fee but includes more costly equipment. Usually the equipment is linked to your cell phone and, when requested by a text message from you, will respond with a text message giving your pet's current location.





Both options use the global positioning system (GPS) to determine where exactly your pet is. GPS is a highly reliable technology that has been used for years in many applications, most widely used in the automotive and defense industries. High competition in these systems have allowed for the end consumer to purchase a great product at a even better price.





All GPS Pet Systems are practical





Every tracking system I have reviewed has been light weight enough for even small dogs (dogs as small as 15-20 lbs). Because they are meant to be exposed to the outdoors, they will be waterproof and should withstand extreme temperatures. In the most extreme cold, the case which encloses the GPS should protect it sufficiently.





In my opinion, the choice really comes down to how much you want to spend up front and whether or not you want monthly charges. You'll have to weigh the benefits yourself and make the best decision for your family.
