The Global Pet Finder GPS Dog Collar Tracking System only sends out updates every 3 minutes. (The RoamEO® GPS Dog Collar Tracking system shows location, direction, and speed of travel in real time so you know exactly where the pet is at all times).

The  RoamEO GPS Dog Collar Tracking System cost is  $549.95 up front for a difference of $224.97.  However, when you factor in the ongoing monthly service fees for Global Pet Finder® GPS Dog Collar Tracking System at their minimum of $17.99 month x 12 months = $215.88 (You must purchase a minimum of 1 year in advance to activate this GPS Dog Collar Tracking System) for a total cost of  $540.86 only $9.09 less than the RoamEO GPS Dog Collar Tracking System.  If you get their best plan at $19.98 a month the cost is $564.74 or $14.79 more than the RoamEO® GPS Dog Collar Tracking System.  So with one year of service fees it is break even and every year after that the Global Pet Finder® GPS Dog Collar Tracking System costs at least $215.88 per year more than the RoamEO® GPS Dog Collar Tracking System.  Also keep in mind…AND THIS IS HUGE…these monthly packages have you paying for a pre-determined number of “Locates” a month.  So with the  Global Pet Finder GPS Dog Collar Tracking System in your basic package you get 3 locates a month, meaning your pet can run away and be found three times a month before they CHARGE YOU EXTRA FEES!  You pay all this money for this unit and then they charge you extra money to find your pet!!  You also must have a text message plan added to your cell phone to receive alerts at an additional charge.  Many providers even charge you per text message.  RoamEO®  GPS Dog Collar Tracking System has no ongoing fees….With the Roameo GPS Dog Collar Tracking System you can find your pet as many times as you need…The Roameo GPS Dog Collar Tracking System charges you nothing!  The RoamEO®  GPS Dog Collar Tracking System is far and away the most affordable GPS Dog Collar System on the market.

And updates only come to your phone every 3 minutes…3 minutes can be a lifetime!  The point is, if your dog is missing do you want to take the chance of having one of these systems fail you with delayed or non-existent updates of places where your dog was several minutes ago…but most likely is not there now?   RoamEO® GPS Dog Collar Tracking System will work everywhere giving you real time live updates without delay.

 Is the Global Pet Finder GPS Dog Collar Tracking System Water Resistant – Because the Global Pet Finder GPS Dog Collar Tracking System unit uses common rechargeable batteries their GPS Dog Collar is not water resistant.  $349.99 for something that can be damaged by water is steep.  The RoamEO®  GPS Dog Collar Tracking System is waterproof!
