# Critter GPS Systems Your Curious Pets Won't Get Far Thanks to the Tagg Pet Tracker By Omar Yusuf | Published 2011-08-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tagg-pet-tracker References: [news.cnet](http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20092650-1/tagg-pet-tracker-hooks-fluffy-up-to-verizon/) & [pettracker](http://www.pettracker.com/) While [GPS dog collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gps-dog-collar) aren't an altogether new innovation, the Tagg Pet Tracker introduces enough new additions to warrant the attention of creature lovers everywhere. After setting up a perimeter (typically your house, neighborhood or farm), simply fasten the [rechargeable Tagg Pet Tracker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fi-mini) around your animal's neck and let them run wild. Should your pet ever leave the [designated area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-dog-fence), you'll receive a text or an email alert, at which point you can find their exact location on your computer. But be wary about which pet you choose to track because this GPS device will set you back $200! For the sake of convenience, you can disable the module when you walk your dog. Moreover, the Pet Tracker is water (and slober) resistant, the batteries are rechargeable and they last more than 30 days! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **GPS Pet Trackers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new features and functionalities to enhance the accuracy and usability of pet tracking devices. - **Wireless Perimeter Monitoring:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced systems that can accurately detect and alert pet owners when their pets leave a predefined area. - **Long-lasting Rechargeable Batteries:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create more efficient and durable rechargeable batteries for pet tracking devices, reducing the need for frequent charging. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Supplies:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate GPS technology into a wide range of pet supplies, such as collars, harnesses, and accessories. - **Home Security:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine pet tracking technology with home security systems to provide comprehensive monitoring and protection. - **Outdoor Recreation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop GPS tracking solutions for hikers, campers, and adventurers to enhance safety and provide location-based services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [GPS-Enabled Dog Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pitpat.md) - [Satellite-Connected Pet Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satellai-pet-tracker.md) - [Enhanced Connectivity Pet Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life360-pet-gps.md) - [Cat-Tracking Collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tile-for-cats.md) - [QR-Code Pet Tracking Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ring-pet-tag.md) - [Compact Pet Tracking Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fi-mini-1.md) - [Personalized Pet-Tracking Tags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-dog-tracker-findmy.md) - [Satellite-Connected Dog Collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satellai-dog-collar.md) - [Smart Wearable Pet Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gochip.md)
