pet tracker

Collar GPS device

A pet tracker is a device that monitors a pet's location, typically using GPS technology attached to a collar.

Most connect to smartphone apps, allowing owners to find lost pets or set boundaries that trigger alerts if crossed: The pet tracker showed she'd wandered three blocks away.

Some also monitor activity levels or health metrics.
