First step is to attach the tagg The Pet Tracker GPS unit to the charging base to let the device get a full charge. The could take anywhere from about 30 minutes up. There is a light on the tagg that stops flashing once the device is fully charged.

While this is charging you can find the correct size base to use depending on the width of collar you dog and or cat uses. Also if your animal has multiple collars, this kit has enough parts to have a base ready for 2 collars.

Next we can set up the device and personalize it for your pet. During set up you enter the normal things such as address, billing information, owner information and contact information. You can receive alerts through text and email . Next you can personalize the information to your pet. You can enter the name, age, color, and even a picture of your beloved pet.

You can also view the charge status of the collar, billing information, options to add additional pets or charging stations, and also there is a tab to view all the notifications you have recieved from the collar.

tagg also has an Android and iOS app that allows you to view the same things from your smart phone. One of the additional features of the smart phone app is the ability to click a button and the app will give you driving directions from your location to the most recent GPS location of your pet.

 

Alerts are automatically set to your devices that you have pre-authorised during setup for when you device leaves the pre-designated area. This app gives you the ability to adjust how large of an area you dog can roam before an alert is sent. You will also be alerted if the battery is low or if the GPS unit has become detached from the base. You can also see when the device has had a software upgrade.

So how about if you take your dog to the dog park. No need to worry about taking the collar off to avoid false activations. There is a button on the front of the collar that will stop alerts from being sent while your pet is traveling with you.
