A dog may be a man's best friend, but what do you do if your treasured pet goes missing? Whether it's haring after a squirrel that causes a temporary panic or a more sinister case of thieves at work, there's a genius solution at hand in the shape of the Retrieva Tracking and Anti-theft collar, launched hand-in-hand with Orange.
The collar is an instant tracking device designed to work with your mobile. It's embedded with a trio of technology: GPS, GSM and radio frequency (to make sure there's no gaps in the tracking and near perfect mobile signal), plus an Orange SIM. The moment Rover goes on an unsupervised wander, a text will alert you of it and by returning the message, you can request your pet's location.
By adding on the nifty mapping capability you can plot your errant friend's location using the ordnance survey map. If your mobile is GPS enabled, you can plot your position in relation to your dog.
Other useful features include pet-inpenetrable waterproofing (for the inevitable moment they launch headlong for the lake) and an instant alert message to your phone if anyone tries to cut the collar or tamper with the lock.
For dog owners who find themselves out on a lonely evening walkies, peace of mind comes in the shape of a safety alarm that sends an alert message to mobile numbers entered into the collar, to track your location.
Now that should get some tails wagging ;-)
