If you are a dog owner and have ever lost your dog for hours or days, you know the panicked feeling you get at that time. I almost jumped for joy when I discovered the RoamEO GPS Dog Locator because it meant that I would never have to experience that feeling of helplessness again. My dog once got out during a storm and was missing for 3 days. I looked everywhere for her, put up flyers, put an ad in the paper, and finally found her across the highway under someone's house. Well, they found her for me. Thankfully!
If I had owned the RoamEO GPS I would have found her within minutes and not days. What a lifesaver it is.
So what is this thing anyway? Basically it is GPS tracking system made just for dogs. The dog wears a collar that comes with the system, and you use the handheld receiver to track your dog's movements. It works up to a 1-mile radius and uses a color LCD screen to show you the exact location of your dog and even how fast he or she is traveling. It updates itself every few seconds so there is no delay in knowing where to find your lost dog.
If you have more than one dog, no worries, as the RoamEO can track up to 3 dogs at the same time as long as each dog has his own collar.
Another great benefit of this product is you can set up a GPS "fence" using coordinates that you establish by walking the perimeter of the area you wish to be fenced. The GPS then commits this area to memory and will alert you if your pet leaves the area. For example, you could go ahead and just walk the perimeter of your property and establish this as your fenced area. The device will store this information in its memory and from then on anytime your dog jumps the fence or digs out under the fence you would know immediately via an alarm. You can always change your boundaries at any time.
Rechargeable batteries are used in both the collar and the GPS device, so you need not purchase batteries. In fact, when you receive your system it's basically ready to go right out of the box. There's no activation fee, no monthly usage fee, no hidden fees at all. Just place your collar on the dog and you're ready to track.
As a dog owner with dogs who escape the fence every now and then, the RoamEO GPS Pet Locator System is a lifesaver. I recommend it to anyone who has the slightest inkling that their dog could possibly wander out of the yard and get lost. I don't think you'll ever regret the money spent.
