Cat / Japanese Bobtail - Answered 1422 days ago
My cat goes out pretty often and it worries me when she doesn't come back until it's late, so I'm thinking of making her wear a tiny GPS on her collar. Do you think it's safe for animals to wear that kind of technology? I looked them up on the internet and only found ones made in foreign countries. If there are any products you recommend, please let me know. Also, could you tell me the difference between GPS devices and microchips? Which one should I get?

Dear Mariana, Microchips are minute implantable devices which do not possess GPS, or tracking qualities. They are not able to tell the location of the pet. They can only aid in guiding the pet to its safe return, if lost. Therefore, GPS device is preferable. It is externally placed and able to ascertain the location of the pet as far as there is good networking. It will help you know where your cat is at all times.
