Through my ambassadorship with FitApproach, I was given the opportunity to review Whistle GPS Pet Tracker. This post was sponsored by Whistle and Fit Approach. As always opinions 100% my own.

Ever wonder what your dog does while you’re gone or how active they are? Sometimes I swear my dog lays in the sun all day. Although Roxy is 7+  she chases squirrels, birds and rabbits all day in our yard, but I still wonder. I mostly worry when someone else is watching her, because her nose can get the best of her. 

We recently received a Whistle GPS Pet Tracker [MSRP: $99.95 currently on sale for $49.95] plus 3 months free service to test. I loved having the peace of mind knowing if Roxy got out while I was gone I would be able to quickly find her!

Features

Live GPS tracking — GPS tracking allows you to locate your pet at any time. Make sure your pet is where they’re meant to be, and quickly find them if they’re not.

Text and email alerts Receive texts and push notifications when your pet leaves your custom Whistle zone, so you’ll know right away if they might be in danger.

Food & medication reminders Log meals and create medication reminders to help co-parents and caretakers stay on top of your pet’s health and nutrition needs.

Monitor health trends Make sure your pet is getting the right amount of activity for their breed and age, and share valuable summaries with your vet as needed.

Let’s just cut to the chase. Overall, if you have an escape artist I would highly recommend Whistle GPS Pet Tracker. It will save you the hassle [and embarrassment] of driving up and down your street calling your dog.

Pros:
– Texts alerts when the dog leaves the ‘zone.’
– I can easily see how active she’s been.
– Now that she’s an old lady I can set up vitamin and/or medication reminders
– Peace of Mind — PRICELESS

Cons:
– False alarm texts… I would receive texts saying Roxy was out of her zone even though she was on her bed. I chalk this up to mountain living.
– It’s somewhat bulky on her collar
– I had to charge it every 3ish days — This is just annoying.

So what will we do after our complementary service is up? I’ll probably cancel the service and then activate it when we’re out of town since it’s only $9.95 a month — it’s totally worth it.

1 in 3 pets will get lost in their lifetime. Whistle GPS Pet Tracker helps make sure your pet always returns home safe. One part superpower, many parts reliable technology, Whistle helps you be the hero your pet thinks you are.

If you’re interested in purchasing a Whistle GPS Pet Tracker use  CODE: WHISTLEFIT and receive $30 (through 11/23).

]]> My baby has four legs and fur. Her name is Roxy and she’s our crazy-smart German Shorthair pointer. In June when she turns four there may not be a crazy dog party, but there will be a awesome hike or lake swim and a tasty bone.  She’s part of our family and I thought I would share a few of our favorite things other than the cozy fire.


Puppy Love


durable, washable, and pre-shrunk, molly mutt duvets are 100% cotton, fully-zippered and gusseted for extra style and comfort.  Use the  stuff sack to organize your old blankets, pillows, clothes or old dog bed on the inside of your duvet!


Ruffwear Dog Pack  
This sleek, low-profile hydration pack is ideal for adventures where  water is all you need. The pack allows for your dog to carry it’s own water. Perfect for any mountain dog.

Stainless steel + non-skid = love     

I have a dog with a sensitive stomach so she eats pretty well. We love the organic treats.


Ruffwear Dog Leash
Hands down one of my favorite leashes. It features a side release buckle that allows for three handle conversions:
1. hand-held leash ( a standard walk)
2. Waist-worn leash (short jog)
3. Fixed leash (clipped around a tree or post while you run to grab a cup of coffee)
This collar is super light weight and has a clip for the leash.


If your dog loves to play fetch you must own a Chuckit.  My dog can play for hours and with this bad boy I don’t have to touch the ball and my arm doesn’t get tired, double win!



Here’s my girl at Angora Lake last summer… yes that’s a stick in her mouth.
