The Tagg GPS Plus is a pet tracker, introduced at CES 2015, that is essentially a refined and upgraded version of Tagg's smart collar. This pet tracker is lighter in weight and includes a temperature sensor that lets you know when your pooch may be in danger of overheating.
The tracker can be programmed to send text message notifications if your pet goes beyond a certain pre-determined perimeter, for example a 50 meter radius around the house.
It is also equipped with an accelerometer that tracks movement throughout the day.
The Tagg GPS Plus is currently available for preorder at $100, which represents a $20 saving off the expected retail price. You'll also have to shell out $10 a month for cellular data.
