Setting Boundaries

by Scott Steinberg

Gps
Seeing spot run? Don’t worry: If he’s wearing GPS Tracks’ GlobalPetFinder, Fido won’t get far. Attach the water-resistant five-ounce unit to your animal’s collar, and you’ll be notified by cellphone or e-mail when the pooch leaves user-defined boundaries. Once an alarm’s tripped, satellites monitor your pet’s exact position for easy retrieval. $350, plus $18 monthly service fee. www.globalpetfinder.com — Scott Steinberg
