I’m looking for some general information about what GPS systems are available – and some specific information about which system would work best for my dog.
I own a Boxer. The dog is living in the country – which means street names and such are not always going to come into play (the dog’s position may be “200 ft into the woods).
Also, the dog is indoor/outdoor, so if the system depends on a collar, I’m worried about weather, humidity, moisture and such – how much does this effect the system?
Are there collar systems and chip system? And is there any clear advantage/problems to either?
Okay, so we’re getting a dog and I was wondering how these work? How much do they cost? Do I just got to any ole Vet to have one… um put in? Do they have to undergo surgery or anything?
I’m just wondering how this works, so if anyone could inform me I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks

I see so many lost dog posts on my local craigslist pet section. It just breaks my heart to think of how cruel it is for people to keep dogs that don’t belong to them.
I heard of this GPS collar for dogs and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about them.
A dog tracking collars is made of two parts: a collar which sends a radio signal, and a tracker which receives the signal and show the location of the dog.
I want to make a circuit doing similar thing but don’t know how it works.
Any idea?
I was wondering if any of you had a good recommendation for a good gps collar for dogs.
Our dog is already micro chipped but we need something extra. There are many different brands and was just wondering if someone had one that worked well for them.
My 3 year old beagle/shepherd mix ran away about a week ago. We went looking everywhere but this is a rural desert so either she’s dead from thirst or eaten by coyote.
I check the dog pound website everyday for photos, she has a chip but it’s registered to another house/phone we no longer are at.
I regret not getting a doggy GPS for her cause I really miss her. She was so cute with one of her ears that droops like a beagle.
I live on a farm… it’s around 3 miles out of town, and we have problems with our dogs.
They stick around well when someone is outside, but if you don’t pay attention for a while, they tend to run off because they are very active dogs that like to chase wildlife.
They can be gone for up to a day or two at times, so I was wondering if there was some simple GPS system I could get to be able to find them when they disappear?
I thought maybe microchipping them would work but researched it and found that is not what I want at all. I want a GPS , so I can go out and find them myself, so only option I can think of is a GPS collar, but some of them make you set up a boundry and when the dog leaves it, it sounds an alarm and you can find them, which might work but we would have quite a large boundry since we live on a farm.
Any good products out there that are fast and simple?
We have a dalmatian. My husband has had one before that was stolen. A co-worker of mine has had a dalmatian that has been stolen.
Is GPS for dogs an option since we are prone to having our dalmatians stolen?
