What is Pet-GPS South Africa?
Who we are
Pet-GPS South Africa provides simple, reliable GPS tracking devices for everyday pet owners in South Africa.
We focus on pets that live normal lives — family dogs and cats — not hunting dogs or professional working animals.
Our products are designed to be small, practical, and easy to use, without the complexity or cost of professional tracking systems.
Who Pet-GPS is for
Pet-GPS is for pet owners who want peace of mind, not tactical equipment.
Our trackers are suitable for:
Family dogs
Small and medium dogs
Cats
Pets that spend time outdoors or can escape a yard
Pet-GPS is not designed for hunting, tracking over extreme distances, or professional field use.
The problem we solve
Pets escape. Gates get left open. Dogs dig under fences. Cats wander.
When a pet goes missing, most owners have no way to know where they are. Searching on foot is slow, stressful, and often unsuccessful.
Pet-GPS solves this by showing you where your pet is in real time, using GPS and mobile network coverage across South Africa.
How Pet-GPS works
Each Pet-GPS device attaches to your pet’s collar.
The tracker:
Uses GPS to determine your pet’s location
Sends that location using cellular (4G/LTE) networks
Displays the location in a mobile app on your phone
You can:
See your pet’s live location
Check recent movement history
Track your pet if they leave your property
There is no special base station required. If there is mobile coverage, the tracker works.
