One of my biggest fears is losing my pets. When we recently moved to a new home, we had a period of time without a fence and having the dogs out on tie-outs made me quite nervous. If either got loose, there were be a lot of open space for them to cover, and they could easily get lost. Fortunately, nothing happened, but I sure would have loved to have had a Nuzzle GPS Collar for each dog.

As a geocacher, I have always been interested in GPS technology. I love the idea of GPS tracking for dogs, but until now, most options involved monthly fees. Nuzzle does not. Nuzzle also provides some really unique features in their GPS tracker collar, which includes a mobile app, so you can use it not just for safety but to also monitor your dog’s general movements.

ABOUT the Nuzzle GPS Collar:
The Nuzzle GPS collar is lightweight, waterproof, durable, and, as a particularly awesome feature, it has no monthly fee. You can follow your pet’s every movement with always-on GPS and cellular connectivity. Primary features include the ability to check on your pet from anywhere. Nuzzle will show your pet’s location and your pet’s current state of active, resting, or walking. You can track your pet’s path during walks, along with the distance covered. You can put records of your pet’s medical history and insurance information in the mobile app so that you can have health information accessible at the palm of your hand.
The Nuzzle app has 2 main screens. First is your pet’s profile, which will show the distribution of activity throughout the day (e.g. 4 hours of resting, 2 hours walking, and so on). You can set multiple profiles. Second, is the pet map. With the map, you can go into your pet’s profile and click on the map view to see where your pet is. You can also get alerts when your pet moves beyond a set “geo fence”
How Nuzzle is Different From Competitors
- No monthly fees: Nuzzle is the ONLY smart pet GPS product on the market that does not require a monthly fee. Nuzzle is absorbing the data plan costs on its own.
- Easy battery charging: Nuzzle provides the easiest charging experience. The Nuzzle battery is easily removable from the collar, so you can charge it while leaving the collar on your pet. In addition, Nuzzle provides an additional battery with each purchase. That way, the collar is never left uncharged.
- Geo-fencing: The Nuzzle app allows you to create a virtual fence. When your pet leaves that area, you will be automatically alerted.
- Impact detection: Nuzzle will notify you if the collar has been hit hard. That way, you can know if your puppy is playing rough, or may have gotten into an accident.
- Waterproof: The collar can survive a rainy day and some puddle play. Just don’t submerge it for hours of course.
- Temperature monitoring: The collar can detect temperature. So, if your dog is outside too long in the heat or the cold, you will know.
- Detachable tracker: The Nuzzle tracker can be detached and reattached to your personal collars and harnesses.
This collar is perfect for any pet owner concerned about safety or who simply wants better monitoring of their pet. I also think it would be extra useful for working dogs, such as hunting dogs, sport dogs, farm dogs, and pets that are often outdoors. It can be used with cats too! I want one quite badly for my own dogs.

I would totally love to have one of these for Dexter and will look into it.
The Nuzzle collar looks so neat! I would be very interested in tracking my dogs! The do a lot of running at a thousand acre park and I’ve always wanted to know how far they are actually going.
I like how it’s waterproof and there isn’t a monthly fee. I wonder if it’s light enough for Mr. N.
These are such a great safety feature, it only takes seconds for your dog to bolt if frightened or if a squirrel runs by!
Love & biscuits,

Sounds like a wonderful safety feature!
Wow, what a great idea! And the collar doesn’t look heavy at all. Purrfect!
This is great! Something I would use on my dog. For their safety and my peace of mind.
I have to admit, I’m having rouble concentrating on the collar for the corgis. 🙂 SO adorable! This seems to be the next thing in pet ID. These collars look sturdy and have some great features; love the “fence” option. So scary to imagine my boys roaming somewhere without me. 🙁
Nuzzle looks amazing. What a wonderful idea!
This is a really cool product! I love the idea. Dogs and cats can slip away in a fraction of a second. It’s nice to know that there is a product to help find them before there is a problem.
I love the concept of Nuzzle, espeically for pyrs! They’re known for wandering so a GPS collar reduces any worry.
How cool – this product sounds pawesome! I will definitely look in to getting one – thank you!
Love the idea of GPS collar. And this one doesn’t look to bulky.
This is a wonderful idea and I’m sure such a Godsend for anyone whose lost their dog and had one of these. Do they make them is different colors or in fabric?
This sounds awesome. Cant wait til its on market!
I love that its not huge and clunky!
How amazing to use technology to keep your pets safe! I’m amazing at how small the collars are! I was expecting them to be chunkier!!
This would give people a lot of peace of mind, I like that there isn’t a monthly fee.
I always get nervous when we have our dog off leash. This looks like a wonderful option and I would definitely give this a try
That collar looks perfect for dogs and for their owner’s piece of mind.
