| Microchip with GPS? Does anyone know if these are available? This way if the dog is taken, you could track exactly where they are. This would cut the theivery down very quickly and help reunite people with their pets. I can't believe someone hasn't designed one yet, but I'm not seeing any around. |

| I don't know if they are available, but if they were, I would buy one! It is good to have our babies microchipped, but in the incident that somehow they ran out the door or something (or other freak accident), it is the responsibility of the person who finds them to check for the microchip. If they give him/her to SPCA or another agency, then they will check. The unknown scares me and there aren't many people I trust with my Mia! Let me know if you find a microchip with GPS though! |

| What a great Idea!!! GPS has so many technological advances that they are in our cell phones even!!! Why not our pups too- I agree that it would indeed help with dognapping and lost dogs too!!!

| Wow, what a great idea! GPS, would be wonderful...if they can put it into a phone and other items looks like they could come up with a way to include it into a microchip. The collar is an idea, but that can be taken off then your'e back to quare one. Maybe before long they will have a way of tracking these babies.

| You know, when I first heard about the microchip, I was thinking that is what it was...a GPS device. I was disappointed when I learned it was something different. I'm not getting my furkids microchipped until something like this is available. Tags will suffice for now for me. |
