GPS collars and locators for dogs and cats are a welcome help to all owners who have found themselves in a desperate situation where they had no idea where their pet had wandered off to. Keep your dog or cat under control.
What are tracking collars?
Tracking collars or locators for dogs and cats use GPS technology. It provides the owner with precise information about the current location of the animal. Monitoring of the pet is possible through communication between the base station and the tracking collar. As a rule, several tracking modes can be set according to the distance of the pet.
- Home mode - is used when the pet is at home (range is about 50 to 80 m)
- Wandering mode - if the pet strays from its "base," the device immediately detects it and reports it to the owner via SMS message to the mobile phone, and the GPS collar switches itself to a mode that monitors the pet up to several km away from home.
- Tracking mode - the owner activates it by sending a text message or setting the collar. This mode allows you to track your pet's movements throughout the country.
How to choose a GPS collar?
We have prepared for you tracking collars from leading manufacturers that we have tested ourselves. Check them out and choose between GPS collars for basic use with a SIM card or GPS collars for professional use. With the help of professional GPS collars, or radio GPS collars, you can track the current location of your dog up to a distance of 16 km, even in the most challenging terrain. We also offer GPS collars with unlimited range. We recommend this type of collar for hunting dogs and professional use.

When to get GPS collars for your pet?
If you have a regular "runaway" pet and have searched for them many times around the neighborhood, a GPS collar can make your job easier. The tracking collar will pinpoint your pet's location flawlessly, so you don't have to worry about intuition or asking the neighbors to find out where your dog has run off to again. GPS collars are also suitable for pet owners who are often out in the field and tend to run around. We also recommend looking at other electronic dog collars that make training easier or electronic fencing devices that help keep your dog at home (in a designated area).

- How does the GPS collar work?
Monitoring your dog with a GPS collar is possible thanks to the communication between the base station and the tracking collar.

A tracking collar should be considered by all dog owners who regularly search for their canine pets in the near and distant surroundings. They can keep their dog under control even when they go to work. This is because the technology communicates remotely—the owner will be informed by text message that the dog has escaped.
- What are the types of GPS collars?
Tracking collars can be divided into collars with a SIM card, which just allow communication with the owner (an SMS message is sent to the mobile phone if the dog has left the home or garden). Another type is radio collars. These collars are radio-controlled and allow you to track the dog's location up to a distance of several kilometers.
- What modes do GPS collars use?
There are several. You can set different ranges for the GPS collars. As a rule, there is a home mode (shorter distance in tens of meters), a wandering mode (tens of kilometers), or a tracking mode (which tracks the dog across the country). GPS collars are very sophisticated, so if the dog leaves home, the mode designed for a longer distance is activated.
- Which breeds are GPS collars suitable for?
Tracking collars come in different sizes, so they are suitable for different species and breeds of dogs. You just need to choose the right GPS collar. Generally speaking, owners of normal-sized dogs have the biggest choice, from about 5kg to 50kg.
- Are the collars waterproof?
Yes. Electronic GPS collars are waterproof, so they can be used without restrictions. Both the transmitter and receiver are waterproof. The collar (receiver) can be submerged up to a depth of several meters.
- Is it possible to track multiple dogs at once?
With the purchase of additional tracking collars, it is possible to use the transmitter without limitation for tracking and training multiple dogs at once.
- Are there any fees for tracking?
The use of GPS tracking collars is only charged for GPS collars that use the GSM network. These are mainly professional GPS collars.
- Are the collars difficult to operate?
Operating the GPS collars is easy and intuitive. Of course, you will receive a user manual with the collar. At the same time, we are ready to help you with the use of the electronic collars.
