You can now track your pet with GPS
It’s a devastating loss when a pet runs away from home or mysteriously disappears. While some pets manage to find their way back home, or are returned to their rightful owner by a friendly neighbour or passers-by, not every pet is so lucky.
However, there’s a new way you can ensure you never lose your pet again, no matter how far they stray. The Whistle 3 is a location and activity tracker that works for dogs and cats, which means you can keep track of where your little escape artist has wandered off to, as well as monitor their daily activity levels to ensure they’re getting enough exercise.
The tracker is attached to a collar and uses GPS tracking that can tell you where your pet is in real time via an app for your smartphone. It’s durable, waterproof and has a battery that lasts up to seven days. The app allows you to set up ‘safe places’ or zones that your pet is allowed in. The app will notify you whenever your pet leaves a designated ‘safe place’.
You will need Wi-Fi to set up safe spaces, and since the Whistle 3 is like a cell phone for your pet, it requires a subscription plan for cellular connectivity. The app also allows you to view where your pet has been over the past 24 hours, and if they met any activity goals.
The whistle 3 GPS Pet Tracker and Activity Monitor is available from Amazon.com.au for $184.65.
