I still remember as a child looking for a lost dog or cat.  We would drive around with the window down yelling our dog’s name.  We would shake dog food bags and yell, “Treats!”  I was so full of anxiety and worry.

Now that I live in the mountains, my dogs sometimes go running.  Usually they go to the river, but sometime they visit a neighbor.  Sometimes they are gone for hours.  With Tagg-The Pet Tracker, I can now find them and not worry when they will come home.

Bear hunters use GPS expensive collars to track their dogs when they have treed a bear. The concept for Tagg is similar, only it is for our beloved pets.

Tagg is an advanced GPS tracking device purpose-built for pets, that will notify pet parents through text and/or email alerts if a pet leaves his safe zone—and allows their current location to be tracked so the pet can be brought home. The lightweight Tagg tracker attaches to a cat or dog’s existing collar, is designed to be worn at all times, and can operate for up to 30 days before recharging. A Tagg master kit is $99.95 which includes one month of free service; after the first month, service is $7.95/month.

If you can afford the monthly service, and your pet disappears frequently, I think this is a great product!  It certainly would give me piece of mind, especially since one of my dogs has been found many miles from home when he wandered.  I like that this GPS collar is more humane than a shock collar.  As long as your pet doesn’t lose the collar, I think it is worth it.

Tagg even has an iPhone app!
