Recently I was talking to my neighbor and he was talking to me about how he was always losing his dog; He had no idea that pet tracking devices were even available! Not that I was surprised, I just found it ironic that I had a pet tracking site, and we had never really talked about the subject. I told him about the different options that were available, and he ended up purchasing a radio pet tracking device and uses it all the time! I decided that it would be helpful to give people some information on the technology available.

Radio Pet Tracking Using a radio pet tracking device is the most affordable way to track your pets. You can get radio transmitter collars in varying sizes, and a corresponding receiver that signals when pointed in the direction of you pet. So you can point the receiver in different directions, allowing you to basically use the 'hotter/colder' or 'marco/polo' approach to finding your pet. When the device is pointed in the direction of your pet, it will give you a signal. You can then approach that direction until you've found your pet. Most radio pet tracking devices can send and receive signals anywhere within 1 to 4 miles, depending on terrain and physical obstacles. Here are some radio pet tracking devices manufacturers that we've been able to find: Pettrax Innotek
