GPS collars

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. For everyday use, GPS collars with SIM cards are ideal, where you can track your pet's location directly from your smartphone, tablet, or PC. 

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).
