The ProxiPet collar is a new way for pet owners to keep track of their dogs and cats. The small device clips into existing collars and uses both GPS and a cellular network to tell you where your animals are. Pets can be tracked using an associated app. The dongle itself is small, lightweight, and waterproof. Battery life is pegged at three months and if the ProxiPet collar needs recharging the app will let you know.
The makers of the ProxiPet collar are still in the initial phases of development and its creators are currently gauging interest in the product. If enough interest is found then the dongle itself will hit Kickstarter where it will sell for $89 with the tracking service offered as a monthly ($3.99) or yearly ($40) subscription.
