The Best GPS Trackers for Pets: Keeping Your Furry Friends Safe in Canada

Pet Trackers are small electronic devices that attach to your pet’s collar and use a combination of GPS tracking and cellular signals to track your pet’s location in real time. These trackers can be useful if you want to keep track of a pet while you are out and about, if that pet goes missing or if you have any other concerns about their location and what they might be getting up to when you don’t have eyes on them. In today’s blog we will be looking at what features are available in some of the best GPS trackers so you can keep your pets safe in Canada.

Real Time Tracking

This is one of the most important features you will want in a GPS tracker regardless of what you are using it for. Real Time tracking is useful for Canadian pets because it lets you know where your pet is at all times and can be used to actively track them should it be necessary.

App Support

Most modern GPS trackers are paired with some sort of smart phone app that allows you to access its various features and find the trackers location in real time. You will want to make sure that the GPS tracker you choose has an app that is compatible with your phone and is regularly supported by its creators through updates, so everything works smoothly.

Zoning

Many pet GPS trackers allow you to set up invisible “zones” for your pet to help you keep track of their movements. For example, you can set up an invisible zone around your yard and you will receive notifications whenever your pet leaves that zone, letting you know if your pet has escaped. Some also let you set up specific danger zones so you will receive notifications if your dog is approaching something like a body of water or a busy street.

Fitness Tracking

A feature in many pet specific GPS trackers is a fitness tracker that keeps track of your pets’ steps, miles or active minutes so you can set exercise goals for your pet based on their age, weight and breed.

Size

When looking at GPS trackers for pets you will want to make sure that they are of an appropriate size for your pet. Ideally the tracker should be small, either able to be attached to a pet’s collar or built into a specialized collar.

Service

Before you purchase a GPS tracker for your pet you should make sure what kind of service it has. Does it require a specific subscription? Does it work using cellular technology? Does it use Bluetooth? All of these are important questions to answer before you choose a tracker.
