Microchipped Mutt Apps

GEODOG is Perfect for Worried Dog Lovers

— October 4, 2011 — Lifestyle
Although you may not be a pet owner, you have likely seen postings for lost animals in your local coffee shop, on a random lamp post or tree in your neighborhood. It’s a sad problem for pet lovers that had no real solution outside of a little luck and helpful neighbours, until the release of GEODOG.

German engineers have created an awesome (albeit, expensive) way to integrate a GPS locating system right into your dog's collar. Using geotracking to create invisible fences and zones, the app is able to keep track of your pup and make sure the cuddly critter is within the zone that you’ve created. Essentially, GEODOG has been able to modify a dog collar to have the functionality of a cellular phone; as soon as your dog leaves the zone, you will receive a text message telling you his/her whereabouts.

For some, the prices of the hardware and software may be a little steep, but for many of the collective pet owners out there, GEODOG is invaluable.
Trend Themes
1. GPS Dog Collars - GEODOG's microchipped collar with GPS tracking presents an opportunity for the pet tech industry to expand on and improve pet safety and wellness innovations.
2. Geotracking Apps - Geotracking apps like GEODOG offer innovative solutions for pet owners seeking greater control over their pet's location and safety.
3. Invisible Fences - GEODOG's use of geotracking to create invisible fences presents an opportunity for the pet industry to develop new technology for safer and more effective fenceless boundaries.
Industry Implications
1. Pet Tech - GEODOG's microchipped GPS dog collar presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the pet tech industry to continue improving pet safety, wellness, and tracking technology.
2. GPS Tracking - GEODOG's microchipped collar provides a chance for the GPS tracking industry to expand on innovations that cater to pet owners who seek more control over their pet's location.
3. Home Security - The use of geotracking and GPS technology has an opportunity to disrupt the home security industry since it offers more controlled technological safety options on top of traditional home security systems.
