GPS Pet Collars to Find Your Pet Quickly

Time is of the essence when your pet goes missing. The faster you react the greater your chances are of getting him back safe and sound. Some years back, if your pet was lost, the only recourse you had was to contact your local pet clinics and put up missing posters. Valuable time was lost going from pillar to post asking people if they had seen your pet and trying to track him down. The longer it took to find him, the greater the odds of him wandering off irretrievably. This was a bleak prospect to any pet owner and a heart breaking one as well.

As technology and time progressed, ID collars and microchips were introduced. However, neither of these offered any definite solution and the chances of finding your missing pet was only marginally improved.

Microchips had the added hassle of taking your pet to a veterinarian to get the chip implanted. Once this was done, if your dog went missing, you had to hope that he would turn up at a clinic or pet shelter that had the required scanners to access your personal information and return him to you. All in all, these methods were too time consuming and not always effective.

The past few years have seen a new product released that promises to find your pet as quickly as possible. This product is the GPS Pet Locator which uses the latest technology to provide you 24/7 access to your pet's movements. Using the same principles as when used in automobiles and phones so far, GPS systems are hooked up to a vast network of satellites and can pin point the location of an object or person anywhere, around the clock.

With the help of Google Map technologies, GPS Pet Locators such as the SpotLight not only tell you where your pet is at any point in time but also give you step-by-step directions on how to get to him. SpotLight and its value-priced counterpart SpotLite are available from Securus and aim to provide the quickest way to track and locate your missing dog.

How it works is simple. You attach the device on to your dogs existing collar. Being lightweight and sturdy, you can be assured that SpotLite will withstand the test of time and the most energetic of doggie behavior. Once the device is activated, you can create certain SafeSpots or zones such as your back yard or even the local park. Now, if your dog happens to move out of any of these SafeSpots, you will be alerted via text or email. This gives you enough time to try and get him back to safety as soon as possible. The SpotLite also provides you with a weekly log of your dog's movements. In this way, you can even pre-empt any further dangers and potential problems.

The SpotLight comes with a powerful LED beacon and rechargeable batteries. The LED light can even be remotely powered on and becomes especially useful when your dog is lost in the dark. There is a Rescue button on the collar device, that if pressed notifies you and AKC Companion Animal Recovery Spotters of your dog's whereabouts. Finally, both SpotLight and SpotLite come with a unique AKC CAR ID. This gives you access to the best retrieval hotline in the country with professionals on call 24/7. Thanks to Securus and SpotLight, your pet will now be returned to you as soon as possible.
