Virtual Leash is a perfect solution for concerned pet owners all around the world. The online website allows the customer to create their own online profile on the site that contains emergency contacts and a medical history. The website serves as a GPS tracking site that will send out all of your emergency contacts and messages once they find your pet through their system. The company uses Google Maps to connect to their customers so that they are aware of their pet’s whereabouts.
It can be quite stressful taking care of an animal especially in the first few years of their lives, but using Virtual Leash can help relieve some of that pressure. If you live in the city this may be a good option for you and your canine pet because it greatly increases the probability of finding your pet if he or she is lost.
