Pet GPS - Solution to Missing Pets?


Pet GPS are the latest solution for missing pets. More than 2 million pets are lost or stolen in the US every year. With advancing technologies, different solutions have emerged over time for loss prevention and recovery of pets.

The concept of identifying marks as proof of animal ownership, developed from branding, into tags and finally microchips. Microchips are circuits containing pertinent information on the dog and its owner. These are small and are implanted under the skin of the pet normally in the shoulder region. Microchips themselves cannot locate a pet. The pet has to be found and then scanned for this technology to be useful. All pets should be microchipped as this is a great back up for other devices available.

Tracking devices are also available. These are normally attached to the pet by a collar or harness. They are most widely used for wildlife research or hunting. The tracking system is made up of a transmitter on the pet, and a portable receiver with antenna. The system works by "pinging"; ie the portable receiver emits a louder sound when pointed in the direction of the transmitter. Due to the small size of the transmitter, this solution is adaptable for smaller pets. One manufacturer has a cat collar based on this technology.

Pet GPS are more detailed than tracking devices in that they pinpoint the location of the pet with relative accuracy. They can also reveal the velocity and direction the pet is travelling in. They operate using a combination of GPS and radio or cell phone frequencies. Some pet GPS function by transmitting the location of the pet to a central station. The station will then alert the owner by sms, email, or website as to the location or address of the pet . Others transmit their location directly to a hand held receiver. The device will then show the location of the pet in relation to the receiver.

The main drawback of both transmitters and GPS is that they are detachable. It would be crushing to track down a signal just to find an empty collar or harness.

At this time there is no foolproof method to prevent the loss or theft of pets. However, a combination of the devices above, inclusive of a pet GPS, would be a positive step in reducing the odds of this eventuality.

How to Keep Your Dog From Becoming Missing


Family dogs are quite special to their owners. A majority of owners consider their dogs part of the family. Often the greatest tragedy is when a dog becomes missing. Dogs go missing on a much too often basis, many times by accident. There are a few tips and suggestions to put into place to make sure that the chance of your beloved canine becoming a statistic is minimal.

Since the boom of electronic gadgets, there is actually something available that can help with your dog. It is known as a micro chip and can be installed under the skin, usually in the dog's neck area. If the dog becomes missing and someone locates him, it can be easily scanned to see who the dog's owner is. Many times if you purchase a puppy, the puppy will be "pre-installed" with the chip. If you decide to go a different route and adopt a dog from a shelter, often a prerequisite to adopting will be the promise to install a chip. Usually this is with a predetermined time, and the shelter will check and possibly revoke the dog if it is not abided by. Since this has become a very popular way to find a missing dog, most veterinarians will install these chips at an affordable price.

If you have a chip installed in your dog but want further protection, there are additional avenues you can take. Many of them common sense and extremely affordable. Take pictures of your dog as he grows. If your dog becomes missing, you will always have a current picture to show others or to post around your neighborhood. Also, you will want to take your dog on walks in different parts of your neighborhood, not always the same route. What this does is to introduce others to your dog to make him easily recognizable, and to also make him more comfortable with others. If your dog does become missing and one of your neighbors sees him, not only will she recognize him quicker but he will also come to them when called.

Last, make sure if you keep your dog outside for any length of time that your fence is high enough. Many animals are Houdinis and can easily climb a fence and escape. You will also want to choose a fence that is basically solid from top to bottom. A fence with holes or gaps make it much easier for your dog to go through or break through to escape from the security of your home. If he can escape for any length of time his chance of being hit by a car or traveling too far that he doesn't know how to get back, greatly increases. While spending time outside, make sure your dog is supplied with the essentials. If he has food, water, and toys, he will be preoccupied and happy. The chances he will attempt to wander off in seek of these things decreases.

Dogs are a wonderful addition to any family. It is important that you take the commitment of caring for a dog seriously. Too many dogs go missing and some of them never make it back home which is usually devastating for the family, especially children. Don't let this happen to your dog or your family. Take the proper precautions to ensure his safety and happiness.
