The Fi Smart Collar has a sleek look, good battery life, and reliable cellular network, and is recommended by Takiguchi.

If you enjoy taking your furry friends on long walks in the woods where you won't have a strong cell signal, or live where service isn't great, you might want to consider the Findster Duo, which isn't dependent on a cellular network yet can track your pet.

When my dog, Astro, chases a squirrel, I use a gps tracker. She made sure to have a solution for when she couldn't locate Astro again. It is of great value to be able to locate my dogs.

If you want to understand your pet's daily habits, you can use a gps tracker.

She says that tracker's are useful for finding cats who like to hide and for helping you understand their movements.

If something isn't right, you can detect it. If your cat moves around the neighborhood and you see they are stationary, you can check to see if they need assistance.

There are a lot of trackers.

Some companies require you to purchase a subscription plan in order to use a gps dog tracker. If that doesn't fit in your budget, you can always use a tracker like the one in the picture.

It is possible to get a community of fellow pet lovers involved as well. If you use the app to file a lost pet report, you will receive an alert if your dog is found within a five-mile area. You can get in touch if someone scans their tag. A battery that lasts up to six months is included in the price. Its ability to track is limited to 300 feet.

For Apple users, the AirTag has the benefit of having a large network to help you find a lost pet. Airtags are good at finding your pet's exact location and providing directions to where they are if they are within 30 feet of you.

You can receive updates on their location when the Airtag connects to another device if they have gone further. Someone can get your contact info if you enable them to do so. If you aren't an Apple person, this isn't a good idea, and it works better if you live in a high density area.

There are useful apps and websites.

The internet and phone apps are great resources for lost pets.

Many local communities have a "Lost Pet" page, and Nextdoor has a dedicated Pet Directory to help spread the word. Your neighbors will be better equipped to ask for help in a time of need if you share your pet's photos and important info with them.
