PROS

The Tagg GPS Plus monitors your dog's activity level and his location, to keep him healthy and to help you find him if he is lost.
The temperature monitor adds another level of protection for your dog.
The device is waterproof and durable, with a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 10 days.

CONS

At $79, the device is pricey, and using it requires a monthly service that starts at $7 per month.
Activating the Tagg Plus can be time consuming.
The GPS tracking may not work in some rural areas.

Keeping your dog safe and keeping your dog healthy are two separate tasks, but one pet monitoring product can handle both: Tagg GPS Plus pet tracker. This device clips to your dog’s collar and tracks his location, alerting you through the mobile app if he wanders outside a pre-determined area. The Tagg Plus also tracks your dog’s activity and rest, letting you know how much exercise he’s getting. It includes a temperature sensor to let you know if your four-legged friend is too hot or too cold.

I was surprised when it arrived that the GPS Plus collar attachment is larger than the original, and that the collar unit has 2 hard prongs sticking out on either side that seem to poke my dog a little bit in the neck.
