Apparently, keeping your pet indoors or ponying up for a fenced in a yard just isn’t in style anymore, as the RoamEO GPS tracking system for pets joins the crowd of other locating devices, texting adornments, and inflatable collars that folks seem to prefer over the more traditional methods. This particular setup is geared to work on all roaming pets, but certainly has its limitations. While the GPS-enabled collar sends the exact location, movements, and velocity to your handheld tracking unit, your pet still turns MIA if it wanders more than a mile away. If you’re fairly certain Fido isn’t apt to stray all that far, you can setup a GPS fence that will send audible alerts if that perimeter is breached. This seems to be a decent system for multi-pet owners who have a tough time keeping things on a leash, as you can maintain a keen eye on three creatures simultaneously — but it’ll cost you $459 for the first one, and $149 for each additional collar.

Practice your swing and exercise your dog simultaneously with this tennis ball Doggie Driver. Place the special ball into the driver by pushing the opening of the club on it to lock it in place. Then pull the driver back like a standard golf club and swing normally to launch the ball up to 100 yards. Just make sure the dog isn’t in the way when you swing.
The petgadgets Glo Leash has what the company calls a “dual-beam, super-bright LED†on its handle that runs on two AA batteries, lighting your way as well as your dog’s, and at the same time making you more visible to those reckless drivers careening down your block.
