Pet GPS are the latest solution for missing pets. More than 2 million pets are lost or stolen in the US every year. With advancing technologies, different solutions have emerged over time for loss prevention and recovery of pets.
The concept of identifying marks as proof of animal ownership, developed from branding, into tags and finally microchips. Microchips are circuits containing pertinent information on the dog and its owner. These are small and are implanted under the skin of the pet normally in the shoulder region. Microchips themselves cannot locate a pet. The pet has to be found and then scanned for this technology to be useful. All pets should be microchipped as this is a great back up for other devices available.
