There are a couple of reasons to use GPS pet tracking. The first is that you are hunter and want to take advantage of the ability to track your dogs on the hunt. These devices can be very rugged and provide you with a lot of valuable information about your animals behavior.

Another reason why you might want to use a GPS pet tracking system is that you have an animal that regularly escapes their enclosure. These are the fence hoppers, the diggers, and the gate busters. They just have to break free. If you want to find them then you could really use a pet tracking device to assist you.

These two devices are very different in how they communicate the GPS information they gather. The former uses radio signals to transmit the information while the latter uses cell phone technology. The former has a limited range (some models transmit up to five miles) while the other is limited by cell phone signals. Both have their place, but they do serve very different purposes.
