Have you ever considered getting a GPS dog collar? Having two Alaskan malamutes, getting a GPS tracker collar seemed like a no brainer, especially since malamutes are known to roam, if an opportunity presents itself. This doesn’t even take into account that all it may take is a running rabbit for your dog to one moment be playing in the yard, off leash, to half way across the neighborhood. While getting a GPS dog collar seemed like a no-brainer for us, what wasn’t were the monthly fees. Not only do you have to pay for an expensive collar and hardware, but monthly fees to make sure the collar stays active. With two dogs on these pet collars, having a GPS unit, it can easily cost just as much as a smartphone plan for two adults. Yikes!
Of course, my first thought was to start looking for a GPS dog collar that didn’t have any monthly fees. To my surprise, it didn’t exist. At least, this has been the case until the Nuzzle™ Collar came on the scene! For those who have never heard of this innovative collar, it is the only smart pet GPS collar on the market that does not require a monthly fee. Instead of charging you for a monthly plan, Nuzzle has taken the data plan into account when pricing the collar, allowing you to track your dog anytime, anywhere from the Nuzzle GPS Tracker App.
So, what can you expect from the Nuzzle GPS Collar and Nuzzle GPS Tracker App? Pet parents can:
- Track their pet’s location & what they are doing (active, resting, walking, etc)
- Track your pet’s path during walks & the distance both of you covered
- Easy to use pet profiles (multiple pet profiles too!)
- Insurance information and pet records stored in collar for emergencies or vet trips
- Geo-fencing – create a virtual fence in the Nuzzle GPS Tracker App. You will be alerted if your dog leaves this area.
- Impact Detection (letting you know if an accident occurred, including if your dog may be stuck and trying to free itself)
- Waterproof to survive rainy days and puddle play
- Temperature monitoring, allowing you to know if dogs are outdoors too long in dangerous temperatures
- Detachable tracker – easy charging and allowing you to move the tracker to different collars or harnesses.
Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I was so excited about a pet product. Not only is it more cost effective than the competition, it allows us to keep our dogs safe and have all their information available at our fingertips. Who wouldn’t want to protect these adorable cuties?

October 22, 2015 at 12:01 pmOur 14 year old dog was raised in the country, where he could roam as he pleased. When we moved to the city with a fenced in yard, he seemed fine…till someone would forget to close the gate and he’d be gone! He’d always come back but it worries me, especially now that he’s older, that if he got out, he might get hurt. Glad to see that there’s a possible solution!

October 22, 2015 at 1:03 pmWhat an awesome smart collar. I really like that it can measure distances and track paths.
Sally Gearhart says
October 22, 2015 at 11:12 pmHow awesome is this collar! We are adopting a new family member soon & I want this collar. It will put my mind at ease on some issues I’ve been debating what to do so Thank you soooo much! I love it 🙂
Shannon says
October 23, 2015 at 1:53 amI like that you can track how far you and your dog have walked. I also love that that dog can be tracked, great if she gets away from us.

October 23, 2015 at 2:13 amThis would be great for our Boxer puppy. She is so well behaved and we are in the city, but we can have her in the yard without a lease and she doesn’t run off… yet… she’s only 3ms old and we’ve had her the very end of August. But just to be sure we could find her if she ever did.

Joy Venters says
October 23, 2015 at 1:14 pmI wish this had been around years ago – a good friend lost her dog when a trainer took It to a park for a workout. He took it off leash— the dog was history. My friend was heartbroken.
Michelle Elizondo says
October 23, 2015 at 1:20 pmWhat a great invention.

Elizabeth Johnson says
October 23, 2015 at 7:49 pmI love this it is a gps tracker monitors temperature and where the dog goes like having wire fencing.
Kelly says
October 23, 2015 at 8:00 pmThis may be the coolest product I have heard about recently. I have a dog that loves to run, and sometimes gets away from me. This would be so great. I would love to have the security of knowing where he is, and setting up geo-fencing for our property.
Amy Green says
October 23, 2015 at 9:08 pmI love this product! I wish they had manufactured it earlier, back in the 1980’s and ’90’s. Back then our dogs were always typically hound-type dogs, like beagles and Bassett hounds. They would always get off their chain, dig under the fence, what have you. Trust me, you have not lived until you have seen a basset hound try to run. Ours was such a diva! I will definitely recommend this product to all of my dog-owning friends. It is so practical and all-encompassing! This was very obviously designed by someone who loves dogs and wants the best for them, their safety, and their families that love them. Excellent post!
Lu Worley says
October 23, 2015 at 9:47 pmThe collar is great but the dog is beautiful. I love the coloring of the first dog the most!
M.Clark says
October 24, 2015 at 12:20 amThe Nuzzle GPS Collar and Nuzzle GPS Tracker App sounds like a great idea. I love that it has Impact Detection to let you know if an accident occurred, including if your dog may be stuck and trying to free itself and it’s waterproof to survive rainy days and puddle play. The best feature is that it is detachable so you can move the tracker to different collars or harnesses.
Henn Nõgel says
October 24, 2015 at 1:42 amIO really like that it shows exactly what your dog is doing. So you know if she is active or is she hurt or where she is when she has somehow gotten out of yard. We have quite small dog who actually can’t get out of yard on her own, just for walks. But we live in small town and neighbours in our street know each other and everyone’s pets, so we always take other’s pet back home when needed 😀
But actually it would be the best when they wouldn’t venture on their own at all. So this GPS collar would be most useful am sure. Just to be on the safe side and have all the information you need about your dog at any times.
Lovely Joy Merced says
October 24, 2015 at 3:30 amwow, that’s cool dog collar! I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

Aliya says
October 24, 2015 at 3:16 pmI know this is about the collar. But can I just say… CUTE DOGS! They make me want a dog. :’)
Clay Cassin says
October 24, 2015 at 4:24 pmDo they make this in cat sizes? That is my most common problem- the cats getting loose and being extremely difficult to catch.
Kim Holliday says
October 24, 2015 at 5:00 pmGood article for pet owners. Very informative 😁
Dorothy Boucher says
October 24, 2015 at 7:10 pmI have never heard of these collars before but they sound wonderful,, I love the picture you have of your dogs, there faces are like they just want hugs and kisses 🙂

Jo-Ann Brightman says
October 24, 2015 at 8:57 pmThis sounds like a great deal for a collar to,keep,track of one’s dog without having to pay a monthly,fee.
Claudia says
October 24, 2015 at 10:39 pmThis is awesome. Who would have thought such thing existed and that there is no monthly fee for it. I love that it lets you know if your dog is active and the temperate monitoring is great especially for those of us that live in hot states. I have two pugs and I take them walking all the time to an environmental preserve. Once Lucas got lost. Turns out he had fallen in the water. But those 10 minutes were torture. I have heard of two other dogs getting lost there. One lady told me she went the next day to look for her shitzu and found her all dirty. A lady that lives near the preserve said how someone lost her pom. and how every day they would come to look for their baby. She said people spotted it but not sure if they were able to get to it. This collar is definitely a must for those who take their dogs to such places.
Tim Anderson says
October 25, 2015 at 12:53 amI thought I felt secure having mt dogs microchipped, but this is even better. I was worried about someone finding and taking them in as their own dog. I also took my Lab out to th woods and she chased a deer, it took me a whie to track her down, This collar is perfect.
Bailey Dexter Parr says
October 25, 2015 at 10:48 amWow, I will be checking more into this as we have cats & this look great for them!
Carol Nine says
October 25, 2015 at 11:39 amWhat a great thing to have so you can locate your pets if they get loose!
Lori Sexton Leal says
October 25, 2015 at 12:27 pmWhat a great way to keep our furry friends safe! This is definitely something everyone with a dog needs. What a wonderful idea!
Dorothy Hubbard says
October 25, 2015 at 3:24 pmI will have to tell my daughter about this. She lives in another city and has a dog that likes to try to run off.
mysweetiepiepie says
October 25, 2015 at 4:57 pmSounds like a great idea. And no monthly fee!
