GPS for Dogs

Never lose track of Fido again with the GlobalPetFinder navigation system for your dog. The device incorporates GPS and two-way wireless to help people find their lost pets and easily snaps onto a pet's collar. It uses a global positioning system that identifies the exact location of the device and delivers a map or address to a personal computer, PDA or by typing in F-O-U-N-D on your cell phone.

GlobalPetFinder allows you to set a 100-yard boundary on the device itself simply by pushing the 'fence' button. Members can program in their home fence and up to 5 additional fence locations for the park, beach, and summer home or wherever you and your pet may travel. If your pet wanders outside the boundary you have determined, you will be alerted immediately and sent the continuously updated, exact location of your pet. GlobalPetFinder also monitors the environmental temperature for your pet. Owners will be alerted if temperature conditions become dangerously hot or cold for pet. Price: $350 for device, one time activation fee of $34.99 and a monthly fee of less than $20 a month. Recommended for dogs over 30lbs. www.globalpetfinder.com
