Microchips vs. GPS Trackers: Which is Perfect for Your Dog’s Safety?

Are you struggling to decide whether you should microchip your dog or get your dog a smart collar with a GPS tracker?

Chances are that you might be worried about your dog running away and getting lost or in the worst case getting hit by a car or some other vehicle.

(Sounds quite heart-wrenching, right? Yes, it is.)

Maybe you have already scoured the darkest corners of the internet to find out which one is perfect for your dog’s maximum safety…

➜ Does a microchip work like GPS?

➜ Can a dog be tracked in real time?

➜ Are GPS trackers worth it for dogs?

Questions like these or some other similar variations of these might be buzzing in your mind right now.

But you don’t have to worry because we have got answers and the best solution for your dog’s safety and well-being.

Everything You Need To Know About Microchips:

A microchip is a micro-sized electronic chip almost as big as a grain of rice that uses a unique Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) code to reveal the pet owner’s contact information when scanned.

Microchips are implanted under the pet’s skin usually between the shoulder blades using a syringe-like device.

Working:

After you microchip your dog, you need to register your microchip online to get your contact information stored in a pet recovery database.

In case, your pet gets lost and brought to an animal shelter or a veterinarian’s office, they scan the chip to get the owner’s contact information.

If the chip is registered and the owner’s contact information is up to date, they will be able to contact the owner who might already be glued to his phone desperately waiting for this call.

Cost:

The cost of microchipping your dog may vary from absolutely nothing to $70, depending on your location.

Other brands also charge a maintenance fee for their registration database to keep the microchip working.

Once the registry expires, the microchip may no longer reveals your contact information when scanned.

Unlike other brands, Fi Nano microchips cost you a one-time fee with the lifetime registration of your contact information. Your contact information will never removed.

Can I track my lost dog with a microchip:

No, microchips don’t allow you to see your dog’s live location by any means because there is no tracker.

Microchips are so small that a GPS tracker can’t fit in.

Microchips can only help you find your dog if someone finds your dog, scans the microchip, retrieves your contact information, and contacts you to bring your dog back.

Hence, you can’t really do anything unless you look for your dog in the neighborhood, put up posters to let people know, or hire sniffer dogs to help you get your lost pet back.

At this point, you probably have realized that microchips are not the most secure option for your dog due to their limitations.

As the leading industry experts, we understand your concerns about your dog’s safety.

Maybe your dog is the one who sees you off every morning when you leave home to get to work…

…maybe when you get back home after work, your dog is the one who welcomes you home, gives you that peace of mind, and relieves the stress of work chores.

But you might feel afraid to let your dog go outside without being able to track his or her live location because you won’t know when your dog will leave the safe zone, where anything can happen. 

There is also the possibility that your house might be located near a busy highway, and there is always this lingering thought in your head that you can’t keep your dog locked in the house all the time.

But you are afraid that if you ever let him play outside, he or she could be hit by a car or some other vehicle, which could be deadly for your furry friend.

Or you might want to go on a much-awaited, much-needed vacation with your four-legged friend but you are concerned about his/her safety.

You might be thinking that you won’t be able to enjoy your vacation if you keep looking after your dog…

…and if you don’t look after your dog, there’s a high chance that he or she might wander off far away from you or get lost.

Look, we get it… that’s why we have the perfect solution for all these problems that will make your and your pet’s life a breeze.

Battery That Lasts Up To 3 Months—Longest Battery Life Ever For A GPS Dog Tracker:

We believe it’s not worth it when you have to have the tracker on the charger more than you have it on your dog.

Your schedule might be hectic, you might have kids to look after, and you might have a zillion other things going on.

So, we don’t want you to worry about charging your GPS tracker every other night, or every couple of days, or even every week.

With only one recharge, you can forget about the battery going bad for weeks to come which will save you a lot of headache and time.

You can easily charge the GPS tracker by placing it on the stand that comes along, the tracker will just sit there because it uses strong magnets to stay connected.

You Don’t Have To Be a Tech Savvy To Set It Up:

We understand not everyone is tech savvy and some people are skeptical about these high-tech gadgets.

Just the hustle of figuring out how to set it up and how things actually work can be quite overwhelming for you.

That’s why the Fi GPS Dog Collar comes with an easy-to-follow user manual to guide you step-by-step on how to set up the collar and navigate the Fi mobile app.
