I'm not clear on something. Can I use it to help me locate a pet that has wandered off?

It is designed to be scanned by someone who finds your pet, allowing them to contact you. When someone (including you) scans the code, the website comes up with your info and location tracking on the phone (if it is enabled) tells the website where the pet is and notifies you. It is completely passive, any tracking comes from the scanning phone and the website.

We have never tracked our dog with ours. We really haven't fooled with it much, but I think the dog has to be pretty close to you in order for the device to pick up. I wish I had bought a GPS one rather than this one.

Sorry - can't answer the device didn't work animals kept coming and we threw it away before they ran out.

We also sell microchip kits (different companies and different frequencies) at Stolen Horse International, aka NetPosse.com, as a fundraiser for the nonprofit organization. We do tell people the truth about the microchip kits and their applications since we are not sales reps for companies. Vets often buy into the info they are told by the sales rep. We do our own research and try to match the people who contact us by email with the right kind of microchip for their personal situation. We offer education along with our chips. It is unfortunate that this happen to you. Even still, an animal with some ID stands more of a chance getting home than one without any at all. I work mostly with horses so there are a variety of ways to ID them and I still encourage the microchip because it is a VIN number that can help you prove ownership when you find your pet. Otherwise, even when you find them you may not be able to recover them. I do hope your pet is found one day. We had a horse recovered last year right at 10 years. We never give up hope.

It should detect a cat moving in the field of view, since it is really sensitive. It can only detect motion, not determine what size the object is.

It's been a while since I got it. I just pushed the buttons and got lucky. Sorry I'm not much help. BTW U R pawsome for helping rescue kitties. I'm a fellow animal rescuer.

You need to be close. Sometimes the chips travel from their implant location and I have scanned animals along their coats and not found a chip because it had traveled away from the implant site. For this reason, I don't think it will locate a cat trapped between walls or buildings.

This is a small rice sized chip you or your vet will need to inject into your dog. You must register it after that. If you do no register this it has no effect if the dog would be found. This can not track your dog down. I'm not aware of any chips that have a gps/tracking feature.

I may not know how to use mine, so that could explain an ignorant answer. In any case, it has a limited value. I can't use it to find my phone because I get repeated annoying alarms when it I have my phone and because it stops tracking things when it wants to - and without my phone (which I am looking for), I can't turn it back on. I use it to find just a couple things that I often misplace and aren't always too close to set off repeated alarms.

This system came with new collars that are 2-way meaning you can use the "E-collar" feature. This is useful if they happen to be running up towards a road or something they shouldn't be near. You can set boundaries and have the e-collar trigger automatically when they reach the boundary. They also have a way to turn the light on which is nice if you want to see where the dog is. So far we really like this system compared to the previous one we had. It is a lot of money but at least we can keep track of our dogs.

Yes. It will constantly tell you which direction your dog is from you and it will tell you how many yards away.

No..that option is not available. I am more interested to learn how you thought your pet to read its own name.

I charge mine every 2 weeks, but my dog is close to the home base most of the time. If it is active more because you have a large house or if activity monitoring is on, you could be looking more like a few days. The last time my wanderer got out, it was after I was notified that the battery was low, but it still had enough power to track him until I found him, which was less that 15 minutes. He was over a mile away and I didn't know what direction he had gone in, so it paid for itself right then. Without the tracker I would have been driving in a search pattern for hours.

Yes.if you link it to your Bluetooth phone when it's lost you can use the trackr app to make the trackr send out a high pitch signal for you to find.

It can be used for other things. I saw a similar one on TV last night being used to spot mountain goats in Alaska.

You will not be notified of your pet's location if the tag isn't scanned. It is NOT a GPS device.

When a coyote ate my pet he left the collar behind (along with the front legs) so you should be able to recover the device. Thanks for the hilarious question. You have enriched the lives of all who will read it.
