Pets and Safety: Why We Need New Tech
When it comes to our pets, we do everything in our power to keep them safe and happy. From regular vet check-ups to providing a comfortable home environment, we strive to create a safe space for our furry friends. However, living in wide open spaces like Montana can pose a unique set of challenges for pet owners.
Why We Need New Tech
- Wide open spaces can pose a risk for pets, with wildlife and adventure often bringing more risks than rewards.
- Current methods of tracking pets may not be enough to keep them safe, especially in situations where pets escape or get lost.
In recent years, a growing number of pet owners have turned to new technology to keep their pets safe. From GPS tracking collars to microchipping, there are numerous options available to pet owners who want to provide the best possible care for their pets.
GPS Tracking Collars
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Real-time location updates | GPS collars provide real-time location updates every 2–3 seconds, giving pet owners instant access to their pet’s location. |
| Unlimited range | GPS collars offer unlimited range, allowing pet owners to track their pets anywhere, anytime. |
| Virtual fencing | GPS collars can also be set up to create a virtual fence, alerting pet owners when their pet leaves the designated safe zone. |
One notable example of a GPS tracking collar is the Tractive Dog GPS Tracker. This device offers a range of features, including real-time location updates, unlimited range, and virtual fencing.
FidoTabby Alert
FidoTabby Alert is a free service that allows pet owners to register their pets and receive a unique ‘FidoID & FREE tag’ with a QR code. This allows pet finders to easily identify and report pets found, making it easier for pet owners to be reunited with their pets.
FidoTabby Alert has already seen significant success, with 40,000 pets reunited with their owners due to the service.
Microchipping
Benefits of Microchipping:
- Permanent identification
- Easy to register
- Quick identification
Microchipping is still a great option for pet owners, but combining it with modern technology like GPS collars and other tools can provide even more peace of mind.
Other Tools
Key Considerations:
- Escape artists
- Lovely but adventurous pets
- Pets that love to run
For pets that are prone to escaping or running, GPS tracking collars and other tools can provide added peace of mind. Some notable brands include Whistle, FitBark, and Pawtracker, each offering a range of features and benefits.
Conclusion
When it comes to keeping our pets safe and happy, technology plays an increasingly important role. By staying informed and making informed decisions, we can help keep our furry friends safe and happy.
