Why take a GPS for dogs, when your dog has a microchip?
A microchip will not help you find your lost dog, but only helps identify your lost pet when he’s found by someone and brought to the vet who can check the microchip. A GPS pet locator on the other hand can be of great help to find your lost dog.  Track your pet and check the whereabouts of your dog always! But more than that, a GPS for dogs can also alert you when your dog leaves a certain area, for example a zone around your house, through the gps dog fence feature. Alerts are sent to you by text or email. Many dog GPS have a real time dog tracking feature, so you see your dog moving in real time on a map!
