Keep Your Dog Safe With The Whistle Dog Tracker

A Whistle dog tracker and activity monitor is an innovative product that can provide an extra layer of security for any dog. In today's busy world you can't be with your pet 24 hours a day and dogs can get loose, run away, or be stolen in the blink of an eye. If it happens while you're not there, there isn't much you can do about it—until now. With the Whistle, you can know exactly where your dog is at any given moment, making it much easier to find him if he disappears.

Of course, finding and tracking lost pets is hardly a new concept. For years, concerned owners having been using microchips and RFID tags to help return their lost or stolen dogs and that approach remains an important part of maintaining pet safety. Unfortunately, though, with these methods the dog has to be located first and brought to a vet so that the chip or tag can be scanned and the owner's information produced, all of which can take some time.

Unlike microchips, a Whistle dog tracker is not implanted but rather attached to your dog's collar. The device uses Wi-Fi technology to track your dog's activity instantly through an app that you can access from your smart phone. You simply set up a "safe place" for your dog, such as your home, a vacation home, or a dog sitter's, as a home base. The unit remains in battery saver mode as long as your dog is in his place but as soon as he leaves it, it begins tracking his activities.

In addition to tracking your dog, another feature allows you to monitor your dog's activity level. You can get stats on their daily activity and rest.

You can also track their progress and receive notifications if there are significant changes to their activity or sleep patterns.
