GPS Collar Tracks Your Dog

Keep tabs on your meandering canine using a GPS-enabled dog collar and ViewRanger software.

If you've ever suffered from wandering dog syndrome, take a look at the Retrieva GPS dog tracking collar which uses ViewRanger software to enable you to track your dog should it decide to undertake an independent canine trekking expedition.


The collar - see video above - is a lightweight, secure, erm, collar, that you put on your pooch like a normal collar. It can be locked in place to prevent theft and comes in different sizes with weights between about 120 and 150 grammes.

Using the ViewRanger software on your phone or a PC, you can locate your missing dog accurately on a map and retrieve it. You can even follow the track the dog has taken and potentially block off the escape route it's used.

Great idea and an ingenious use of the ViewRanger mapping software too. The basic collar package starts at £199.99 complete with a built-in SIM card and access to the ViewRanger mapping system. On top of that, you pay a monthly tariff of £9.99 for a single collar with discounts for multiple units.
