How do GPS trackers for dogs and cats work?

You like the idea of ​​a GPS tracker , mostly because you've come to dread the fact that there are more rabbits than people in your town. Not all dog or cat GPS trackers are effective.

But what is a GPS tracker and how does it work?

First, let's start with what a cat or dog GPS collar is not. The GPS collar is not like a microchip , which your veterinarian is usually the provider. A microchip implanted for your dog acts as a static data storage device that, when scanned, shows who your pet belongs to and where it actually is (i.e. probably not in the neighbor's yard ). The chip lives under its skin and is designed to last its entire life, but it cannot determine its location .

Dog GPS or microchip?

Lost and found animals with a microchip must be brought to a facility equipped with an RFID chip scanner in order to read the data stored on the chip itself. It is a passive system that only works in an emergency and with special equipment.

On the other hand, GPS tracking devices, like the HisoTag® smart collar , actively monitor your dog or cat's movements in real time. They work by communicating between the GPS tracking device attached to the dog's collar and a network of navigational satellites that orbit the planet. Like your phone, the GPS collar picks up constant signals from satellites to automatically calculate the distance between their position in space and your pet's GPS collar. The result: its position at all times.

Locating dogs and cats with your smartphone

This data is sent to the Find My app on your smartphone , which locates the dog or cat on a map. It's a bit technical, perhaps, but you can rest easy knowing your pet's whereabouts are always known when they're wearing a GPS tracker like the HisoTag® Smart Dog and Cat Collar .
