lost dog tracker

[sythai]

Hello there....

We have a new puppy (mini schnauzer) and want to get him microchipped soon,

But was just wondering wether there is a microchip yet that has a built in tracking device.... so if the worst ever did happen we may be able to find him easier.

Many Thanks,

Simon

Not a microchip, but a receiver your dog wears on its collar (ok till it loses its collar!) Also not cheap. Why are you waiting to get your dog microchipped - get it done asap just in case.

And the best of these devices is even dearer, starting at �1,000. You can find your dog 'anywhere in the world' to an accuracy of 5 metres radius, and the better model can be is set up so you are alerted when the dog 'points' or barks at game ! More seriously, the dog needs to be a fair size to carry any of these receiver devices on the collar. A min schnauzer would be too small, methinks.

Thank you for your replies.......... think we will give that idea a miss then for now.

And just phoned up to book appointment for microchip later on today.
