[tweetmeme source=”gpsforpets” only_single=false]

There are all sorts of instances when locating your dog in the dark becomes a priority. Walking your dog in the dark can be fraught with anxiety when maneuvering between speeding vehicles. It could also be as routine as just noting where he is when you let him out in the yard for a potty break before bedtime. The worst-case scenario however would involve losing your beloved pet at night. All sorts of horrific possibilities enter your mind and you worry about how to locate him in the dark. Thankfully there are an array of products specially designed for just these situations that make tracking and finding your pet at night a lot easier.

You can choose between tag lights that clip onto your pet’s collar and can be easily transferred or collar wraps that are larger and fix onto a dog’s regular collar like a reflective sleeve. Also, an option is light collars that are bulkier but provide a greater range of visibility. But if you really want to combine technology with practicality, it would make sense to look into the option of a GPS collar with a lighting feature. One such product is the SpotLight GPS Pet Locator created and developed by Positioning Animals Worldwide (PAW) in conjunction with the American Kennel Club Companion Animal Recovery (AKC CAR). The device is used to track and locate missing dogs using the latest GPS technology. In short, using satellites and Google Map applications, it will inform you of your pet’s whereabouts at any given time. In addition to giving you the location of your pet, the device tells you how to get there as well as how fast your dog is moving (this is especially relevant in case your pet has been stolen and is being carried away in a vehicle). Apart from this, owners can create specific ‘Safe Zones’ that are pre-determined secure locations. If and when your pet leaves these safe zones (for example, your yard or a local dog park), you will be notified by an email or text alert. A history of your pet’s roaming habits over a week can also be obtained from the SpotLight website.

The SpotLight GPS Pet Locator is rugged and durable along with being lightweight and water resistant. Good news for owners of over active and hyper pets. The battery can be removed and recharged and there is also an AKC tag that includes your dog’s individual identification number. When your dog goes missing and is found again, this ID number comes in especially useful. The AKC has over four million of such numbers in its database and the organization has trained staff on call around the clock to talk you through the process of finding your pet again. Owners of the SpotLight GPS system thus have access to the AKC call center and the best recovery team available.

The device also comes with an LED beacon that makes it easier to track your pet in the dark. Attached on to the collar are five lights serving different functions. The main, and largest LED, is the SpotLight that can be activated even from a distance through your cell phone, computer, or by calling 1-888-DOG-LOC8. This LED light strobes to make it easier to spot your pet at nighttime. The other four lights inform you about the status of the alarm system, the battery power, and the connectivity to a cellular service and to the GPS system. With all this to offer, the SpotLight GPS Pet Locator is definitely your best bet in keeping your dog safe and secure during the day and night.
