Doting pet owners can now buy another accessory for their beloved dogs. This time though the accessory has another purpose aside from irritating the dog making the dog look really cute and cuddly. The new dog collar from Petlink and M-Tech is no ordinary collar since it allows owners to track the location of their pets anytime via GPS. Owners can set the distance they are comfortable allowing their pets to roam without being alarmed. As soon as the dog strays beyond the set circumference the owner will receive a warning message so that there is no need to go looking for the dog AFTER it has been missing for hours. If the dog still manages to hide from you tracking is no problem since you can locate it using a map also through your mobile phone.

The collar comes with Lithium-ion batteries and has a standby time of over 270 hours. Petlink’s dog collar works only in mobile phones using Telia’s network.Petlink is available only in Sweden.

The dog collar not much larger than your average collar at 58 x 40 x 17 mm but is too large to use on cats. It weighs 50 grams, which isn’t too heavy but it WILL get in the way of your dog’s latest pearl choker. So the next time you go out with your dog you have the choice of having a plain looking dog that won’t get lost or a fancy dog that can get kidnapped and with no way for you to trace it.
