The Findster Duo is a pet-tracking device that uses GPS to locate pets in the case that they run away, has manageable security zones with real-time alerts, a [virtual leash](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heel-roam-350), a path tracker, [pet exercise monitoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dash) and rewards for keeping the pet healthy in the form of food discounts.
