Snooper – Track your pet
If you have spent many a night frantically searching for your beloved pet pooch who has decided to go walkies, is just what you need. This doggy tracking device allows you to locate your missing dog at record speeds, without having to go through the pressure and stress of actually sending out a search party to track down your furry friend. This also prevents your kids from going through unnecessary heartache over their missing pet.
So how does this nifty little device work? The Snooper uses global positioning satellites (GPS) in conjunction with GPRS and GSM technology to accurately locate your pet within about 2.3 metres at any time during the day or night. The GRS and GSN features also allow you to use your handy cell phone (with suitable Google maps application installed) as a locator as well. How? You call the Snooper on its unique phone number and it will send you an instant text message with the GPS coordinates. How cool is that? And the best part of it all – there are no monthly fees.
The built in rechargeable battery provides up to 15 hours of continuous monitoring. The downside, however, is that the Snooper carries a hefty US$279 price tag. But then again, surely you can’t put a price on the safety of your pet?

I have recently bought this product after my cat went missing for 3 nights. I tried a radio tracker but she was constantly out of range!
I am extremly pleased with the product and was surprised how light it was although it is bigger than I expected (about the size of a small match box.
I weighed it with my cats collar, name tag and catplap magnet and found it weighed less than 2ounces. It looks a little big but she wasn’t at all phased by it and I am at rest as I can just call her and look online to get an idea of her location.
I was, however dissapointed with the mapping site which is reccommended as it didn’t seem up to date, having the whole park behind my house missing!! Which was frustrating as this is where she goes. I did however find very useful. This is also a free and easy site to use.
I am considering using both trackers together so that I know roughly where to start looking but can find her exact whereabouts with the radio tracker as it will find her up trees etc.
