Just saw a new GPS product for dogs
« on: November 14, 2016, 03:58:20 am »
I saw an ad on tv for Whistle.com where it has a GPS tracker for dogs. I have looked before to get a few for my cats, but not a lot of places make them and they are expensive!
Anyway, they said they were having a sale on them so I thought I would share the info. I live in an are where a lot can happen to a dog. So I thought there might be someone on here that could use it!

I have heard of that. There is also a Phone app called Fur- Alert. Our local police dept. has promoted it and it is working well for people who lose there pets (and use the app). It is also free of cost.

I will have to let my groups on FB know about that APP! We have a lot of dogs go missing around here. There is a lot of desert around us, so anything can happen, not just a car hitting them. Where I live, we are also close to railroad tracks. It can be bad out there for dogs!

Never heard of it, will have to check it out.  All my dogs have a tag on their collar for getmehome,com.  It's free, you just fill in your information, name, address, phone number vet'S name, address, phone.  Your dogs name, size, color, marks, and upload a picture.  You get a tag with instructions for a person to go to getmehome.com.  The tag you get will also gave a number on it.  The person finding your dog punches in the # and your information comes up.

GPS for dogs has been around for awhile.  Hunters use them for their hunting dogs.  Some of those dogs are very expensive!
Have a wonderful day!
