Had technology been anything like it is today, we could have been notified immediately as soon as she left the boundaries of our backyard. SpotLight, a GPS locator from Positioning Animals Worldwide, does just that. The unit keeps track of your pet’s location and notifies you immediately if they leave their designated boundaries.

If your dog does manage to leap a fence or dash out the front door, the unit will notify you via computer or cell phone, and actually lead you to the dog’s location, turn by turn, using Google Maps.

The unit comes with the pet locator, a tag, and a rechargeable battery. There is an activation fee and service plan required as well.
