A few years ago, the most effective way to track down a lost pet was to register with a location agency (or several). If you dog went missing, all you could do was keep checking in on these agencies in the hope that someone had not only found your dog but also called in and reported him found. Nowadays, thanks to advances in technology, this type of service is all but null and void. With the advent of products such as the SpotLight GPS Pet Locator (and its value-priced version – SpotLite), there is a whole new way to tracking and locating missing pets today.

Using the latest in GPS technology, these products help you keep track of your pet at all times. The SpotLight is a water-resistant, sturdy, and lightweight device that can be attached to your dog’s collar. With long lasting, rechargeable batteries, SpotLight also comes equipped with a powerful LED beacon that can be seen from up to 100 yards away.

But by far the biggest advantage to using a SpotLight GPS tracking collar is its provision of marking out safe zones or SafeSpots. A SafeSpot according to SpotLight is a primary area that the owner can identify as “home” for his pet. After marking out this area, you can also create a secondary safe spot that offers another layer of protection. Up to ten SafeSpots can be marked such as your home, office, and your local park. You can even change SafeSpots to include your hotel or vacation home when traveling. With your computer, you can customize your SafeSpots by using satellite images and Google Maps to define their exact locations.

These SafeSpots work like an imaginary fenced area within which your dog can roam freely. The minimum boundary is of 100 yards and the maximum can extend up to 2500 yards. Once your dog leaves the secure zone, you are alerted via text or email. You can then track your pet in real time on your phone or through the SpotLight website. This service also offers the possibility of multiple alerts. For example, if your dog leaves his primary SafeSpot, you will be sent one alert and another once again if he moves out of the next secondary SafeSpot. This allows you to react faster and to take the necessary precautions to prevent him from straying too far away.

The SafeSpot is also completely harmless to your to your pet and he will not feel or hear anything when he moves out these secure zones, unlike and actual electric fence. SpotLight alerts can be received by cell phone, Smartphone, or email as per your choice. This allows you 24/7 access to your pet’s movements along with step-by-step instructions on how to reach your missing pet as well.

SpotLight has tied up with AKC CAR and by virtue of purchasing a SpotLight GPS Pet Tracker you gain automatic membership and access to their around the clock helpline. With the best that technology has to offer and experts on call whenever you need them, the SpotLight GPS Pet Locator is by far the best option to keep your pet safe and happy!
