If you are worried about your pet wandering off, and you want a way to know when this is happening immediately, then you may want to consider Stray Safe.
Overview
Many of us depend on our GPS to tell us how to get where we are going. Now there is one available to tell you where your pet is going. This is a device that simply attaches to the collars of both dogs and cats. You will also need to download the stray Safe app. Next you have to determine what you feel is a safe zone for the pet, and this will be the perimeter that you want to keep them in. If they decide to wander out of that area you will be immediately alerted on your cell phone. You will also be able to tell where they have gone. Your personal computer can also be used to track the location of your pet that has decided to stray.

Evaluation
Pet owner on an average spend a lot of money on their pets. They will go to great lengths to keep them happy and safe. Every year many pets become lost because they have strayed, or sometimes become stolen. A product like Stray Safe can be a very powerful device to perhaps prevent much of this.
Final Stray Safe Review
We’re going to give the Stray Safe device a thumbs up rating. It is a small price to pay to be able to locate your dog or cat who has decided to go exploring and you are not comfortable with this. GPS has become a great resource for us humans helping us to get back home when we are lost. Unfortunately our pets cannot put this type of product to use themselves, but they can depend on us as their owners to do it for them.
Our Recommendation
If you put your dog out in the yard even if it is closed in, you may still want to use the Stray Safe device. You never know when someone could leave the gate open, or they find a way out. Or if someone is stealing the pet. Then if you take your pet to a park where they can run free, you will still want to safe guard that they are staying within the perimeters that you can set. You really have to give some thought as to the potential situations that could arise where your pet would have a chance to wander off, and if the investment in this device is worth having for those times. We like to bring pet products to our pet owner readers that may have a value to them, like we did with the Pet Monitors, which allows for another form of seeing what your pet is up to.
