There is already a staggering array of choice available when it comes to GPS Pet Tracking Collars. One such GPS unit available in the market today is the SpotLight GPS Pet Locator. Developed by Positioning Animals Worldwide, Inc. (PAW) in conjunction with the American Kennel Club Companion Animal Recovery (AKC CAR), the nation's largest not-for-profit pet ID and recovery service, the SpotLight GPS Pet Locator is a compact reasonably priced device, weighing only 2.5-ounces that can be easily attached to your dog's collar.

Dogs can then be tracked down by cell phone or on the Internet or owners can call 1888-Dog-Loc8 for updates of their pet's location at any time of the day or night. Using the latest Google Map technologies, the SpotLight GPS Pet Locator can not only locate your missing pet but also give you detailed directions on how to get to where he is. Apart from this, owners can set up specific 'SafeSpots' that are pre-determined secure locations. If and when your pet leaves these safe zones (for example, your yard or neighborhood dog park), you will be notified by an email or phone alert.

A history of your pet's roaming habits over a week can also be obtained from the SpotLight website. The device comes with an LED beacon that makes it easier to track your pet in the dark. In addition to all these features one of the main advantages of the SpotLight GPS Pet Locator is that it includes a lifetime enrollment in the AKC CAR's Recovery Service, providing access to their call center and the best recovery team available at all times.

Already with a loyal fan following of satisfied pet owners, PAW has recently released an iPhone application for the SpotLight GPS Pet Locator. With this handy iPhone app you can now access all the features of the Pet Tracking System without the need for a computer. The SpotLight GPS Pet Locator iPhone app helps you track and locate your pet using the SpotLight GPS system. What the app does is give you the real time location, historical locations, and turn-by-turn directions to your lost pet. It also offers a Tracking Mode where you can get real time locations even while your pet is on the run.

The SpotLight GPS Pet Locator mobile iPhone application is easy to use and full of useful features. For example, it allows the user to locate multiple pets and plot them via three different views (satellite view, digital map or hybrid) on a map. It also utilizes the phone's GPS so when you are tracking your dog it will update your current location as well as your pets, all in real time. From the app you can also turn on and off the bright LED light so that you can find your dog at night. PAW has definitely gone one step further in connecting pets with their owners at all times and offering a peace of mind that is invaluable.

The SpotLight GPS Pet Locator mobile iPhone app is a free download at Apple iTunes.com
