We live in a rural area in the north of Spain and Mike forgot all its fears and misgivings as soon as it put a paw in the forest. His transformation was incredible, the first time Mike saw a wild animal it ran after the deer and in a matter of seconds we lost sight of it. It took us 3 hours to get its attention and put the collar on. All our alerts went triggered and we began the search for a GPS system which would allow us to know where our friend was at all times.

At first, we tried several options, with different budgets, different technical characteristics, sizes, battery types, antenna types, range, among other parameters. The first one stopped working on the first visit to the lake when moisture got into the device and rendered it useless forever. The second option had a user interface in the App that was too confusing and impractical; in addition, the system had an excessive use of CR-2023 batteries. The third option we evaluated was too cumbersome and too intrusive, perhaps for that reason it is the favorite of hunters in southern Europe. In the end, we opted for the good value for money of the Apple Air-Tag. Although we have optimized the presentation in the educational and animal welfare system Mr. Polite Pet providing an extra battery inside the collar itself to have full coverage at all times. In addition and given the large increase in pet theft, we opted to make a hidden compartment for the Air tag, so that if the dog is stolen, the thief does not have the need to remove the collar and thus eliminate GPS tracking. Having valuable time to react and locate the kidnapped pet. We have a good system that in addition to the many advantages planned is very discreet, we do not want the collar to be seen as a super gadget, we intend to go unnoticed as much as possible.
