How to Locate Pets Via Satellite

Lost pets can be hard to find. Recent technological advances have made it possible to track pets via satellite. Many companies have developed satellite locators for pets using cell phone and GPS technology and have made their products available to the public. Most systems require you to place a locating device on your pet using a collar. The standard radius of a locating device is about one mile but there are devices that use online services that have a much wider range.
