Petbuddi

Dogs are loyal friends and important family members yet 160,000 go missing each year. The thought of losing your pet on a long run, through a hole in the garden fence or more recently via dog-napping is enough to give anyone sleepless nights. However an extraordinary new device on the market has been created to help alleviate the worry. UK entrepreneur and dog lover Sara Murray has designed a product that will revolutionise dog safety.

petbuddi is backed by The Kennel Club and is the world’s first tracking device for dogs. Small, black and unobtrusive, it threads on to your dog’s collar allowing you to look for him/her using the most advanced GSM technology via a mobile phone or laptop. Accurate up to 50m in built up areas you can even track your dog when they’re paddling in the park as petbuddi is also completely waterproof.

You can text petbuddi anytime 24 hours a day, 365 days a week with the name or reference number of your petbuddi and ask to locate your dog. Each location request will be charged pay-as-you-go at a text rate of £1.50. The online charge will be the same and paid for by credit or debit card. Alternatively owners can call 0906 406 2977 and ask a customer care adviser to locate your petbuddi and within minutes you receive the road junction and postcode of the dogs whereabouts. People with WAP enabled mobiles can view an online map and petbuddi can also be securely tracked online via the website.

petbuddi can be purchased online at www.buddi.co.uk/dogstrust, priced at £149. Discount will only be applied by using this link.
