I don’t own a dog, so i can’t know for sure how bad you feel when you lose your dog, but I’m pretty sure you feel very bad. You cant just blame yourself because dogs like to run, like to get away, so sometimes they get lost, its really nobody’s fault.

Until now, the available dog GPS tracking units, were available for more than $600. But things have changed, now Zoomback offers this dog GPS tracker for $200 which is not much when you love your dog. Beside the price of the unit you also have to pay a monthly subscription of $15. This is perhaps because it uses assisted GPS, which adds a cellular transceiver to improve performance, and because the service includes a web-based tracker you can access whenever you want, notification via SMS if the wearer leaves designated “safe” zones, and 24/7 emergency support.

From the picture it looks small enough to be carried by a dog without having problems. The battery life its about 5 days in standby, with alerts sent to cellphone or email when it needs to be charged. Ofcourse a longer battery life would of been nicer but that would of increased the units volume and weight too much.
