Fi Collar - GPS tracking collar
Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2019 7:04 am
Has anyone had any experience with the new Fi Collar? I've gotten a couple pop-up ads on my phone recently, and just looked up their website. It's a $149 collar that supposedly goes 3 months b/n recharges and can be used from your phone for tracking fido. The pics they show look like google earth images in urban areas -- which is definitely not where I'm worried about losing my dog.
I recently had a neighbor ask me to stop running my dog with his bell on (on our daily exercise runs), so I'm looking for a backup way of tracking him for that once every 300 runs where he decides to get adventurous and go exploring. Without my bell, it's stressful every time I lose sight of him for a minute because I can't tell if he's close or on a hard run over the next hillside. I'm hoping this is something that could give me a safety net without going to the expense of a Alpha 100.
If anyone has any experience or first/second hand knowledge of these, I'd appreciate the insight.
