There are plenty of dog tracking devices out there that help pet owners locate their pets when they are lost, but ‘Puppy’ is a dog tracker from BeLuvv that approaches keeping an eye on pets as a way to prevent missing pets altogether.
Puppy is a pet collar attachment that communicates with a smartphone app via Bluetooth low energy. If a pet happens to wander too far, owners are immediately receive a push notification on their phone. A secure network can be built by adding trusted friends and family members, which is especially handy for seeing who’s “on duty” for pet-sitting, as well as where they are.
Puppy can be pre-ordered through BeLuvv’s site for $29.95.
