Spotlight GPS Pet locator Raleigh-based Positioning Animals Worldwide (PAW) and the AKC Companion Animal Recovery recently launched SpotLight GPS, a locator that tracks a pet’s location. SpotLight customers receive enrollment in AKC CAR, which includes a collar tag with unique ID number. Fitting on the pet’s collar, SpotLight “senses” when the pet leaves a boundary, dubbed a SafeSpot. Upon escape, SpotLight alerts the owner via text message, email or both, and the owner receives the dog’s real-time location and turn-by-turn directions. The AKC CAR recovery team also is “on call” around the clock to assist with tracking. SpotLight has a “rescue” button so that if the pet is found, a Good Samaritan can notify the owner and AKC CAR. Spotlight GPS sells for $249.99, not including activation fee and service plan. SpotLight GPS 543 Keisler Drive, Suite 104, Cary, NC 27518 |
