We love our dogs almost like children, be they big or small. In our modern society it is a real challange to keep them contained. Years ago we had larger lots and smaller communities, without the kind of traffic we have today. We knew our neighbors, making it easier to find a wandering pet. We now have a device on the market that will really help to keep track of our dog. They are GPS collars, and work on the same principle as a car GPS.
RoamEO tracking collar is a good one. It does not use cell phones but instead uses MURS band 154.6 MHZ as modem. You can use this any place on earth where there is no cell phone coverage. Can track up to three pets within one mile in any direction. And since it does not use cell phones there are no monthly fees.
Another unit is the Garmin Astro. This uses VHF radio signals. It has a handheld GPS device and a transmitter that shows your dogs location. As many as ten dogs can be located at one time within a five mile radius.
A more affordable , but still efficient dog tracking system is the PuPPOD tracking collar. PETSAFE collars are also available which will alert you by emails when your dog runs away.
Don't confuse these with microchips which only identify the pet and his owner. GPS collars are the best equipment for owners who don't want to lose their pet, mans best friend.
