Comments on: Microchip Dog GPS or GPS Dog Collar? http://www.gps-dogcollar.com/microchip-dog-gps/microchip-dog-gps-or-gps-dog-collar/ Every thing you need to know about GPS dog collars Tue, 21 Jun 2011 14:01:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mari Biasco http://www.gps-dogcollar.com/microchip-dog-gps/microchip-dog-gps-or-gps-dog-collar/comment-page-1/#comment-432 Mari Biasco Mon, 01 Nov 2010 13:47:16 +0000 http://www.gps-dogcollar.com/?p=8#comment-432 My question is what about if someone remove the gps collar how are we going to track the dog. I think they haven't invented the real GPS microchip were you can track your animal through a satellite because anyone who finds a dog or cat can remove the collar and stole your animal. We need a locator and a protection of not being stole. My question is what about if someone remove the gps collar how are we going to track the dog.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GPS MICROCHIP. THE WRITER IS CONFUSED ABOUT THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN A GPS DEVICE AND A SIMPLE CHIP THAT JUST TELLS SOMEONE SOMETHING ABOUT THE DOG ONCE THEY ARE FOUND.

There are no “GPS” microchips, the technology does not exist. Also the pet chips are not encoded with the owners info. The chip simply has a numerical code built in it just like ID badges and credit cards that use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). It takes a special scanner to pick up the code, then the finder calls the chip manufacturer (or logs onto their web site) to report finding the animal. The manufacturer then notifies the owner. The beauty of this device is it's invisible, can't be removed and should never go bad. All animal shelters and Animal Control officers should have these scanners as they are free for them and all animal research labs are required to scan animals before using them. The saddest fact of life is that most pets that are stolen are sold to research labs. And most pets that stray are put to sleep at local Animal Control Shelters. So this chip is an inexpensive must for pet lovers. See your Vet! As for pet GPS the technology is poor and is not evolving. Garmin is good for live tracking and I know of no cellular based systems that work well outside metro areas, so I'm stuck! With all respect you don’t know what you’re talking about.

If my dog gets out I want to be able to find him immediately. After all, that is the purpose of GPS. Aren’t there any GPS Microchips on the market yet that don’t need to be scanned?

Thanks for continuing to spread FALSE information on what a microchip actually IS. It's "professionals" like you that make hard working animal rescue people like me FURIOUS!!! Do you have ANY idea how many times a day I have to explain to a client that "No, I'm sorry, there is no such thing as GPS implantable microchips... that technology DOESN'T exist, simply because they require re-chargeable batteries which CANNOT be implanted into your pet." You should retract that and STOP adding to the problem! You are doing a disservice to microchips, to the animal and certainly to the owners by giving them false hope that someone, somewhere can track their missing pet by satellite. Oh, and the ONLY data on that microchip is the actual CHIP NUMBER! Owner's information, and pet information are kept at a data registry like Helpmefindmypet.com, AVID, HomeAgain, 24 Petwatch, etc. Perhaps you should have done your research before posting anything!

The 'chip' is a passive device that basically acts as a short range reflector for a system used by vets and dog pounds. You have to be right up on the dog to check the RFID chip where as GPS technology allows you to find your dog anywhere from newyork to Nepal. Problem is; radio transmissions to space use up batteries quick this limmiting airtime. Garmin systems allow you to reduce transmission times extending battery life. I'd like one that I could do the same to a more drastic level like three or four times a day until the pet leaves a paticular area then allarming owners n boosting transmission frequency. This would raise battery life, lower charging hassle, n greatly increase everyday functionability for avridge petowners. I would buy THAT system for ALL my families' dogs. LET'S INNOVATE, GARMIN!!!

Calling it that would indicate that you can track where your lost dog is. This microchip only allows someone to scan your dog, IF he's found and IF the facility has a scanner, to find out who the owner is. This should not be called a GPS. Why are you calling it a GPS.
