This tracking device has the chip in it and helps you track your pet. Someone else has asked if a GPS tracking device is safe for their pet. In my research I found this article helpful: <a href="http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html#Q9" rel="nofollow">WHAT LEVELS ARE SAFE FOR EXPOSURE TO RF ENERGY?</a>. In it you will find the following quote: <blockquote>The safe limit for a mobile phone user is an SAR of 1.6 watts per kg (1.6 W/kg), averaged over one gram of tissue, and compliance with this limit must be demonstrated before FCC approval is granted for marketing of a phone in the United States.</blockquote> Most pet trackers are going to comply with this standard, but they don't necessarily have to. You will want to check each tracker out to see what they specifically do. Here are a few places to start: <ul> <li><a href="http://www.pettracker.com/" rel="nofollow">Tagg Pet Tracker</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WF0LDG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=gpsfortoday-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003WF0LDG" rel="nofollow">Loc8tor Pet</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0064UI9BM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=gpsfortoday-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0064UI9BM" rel="nofollow">Zoombak Universal Locator</a></li> </ul> The prices listed on these links pretty much only cover the device itself (around $100). You will also have to pay a monthly subscription for running the device. I hope that helps. - Joe Hi Carina,

My dog was stolen from my mothers house while people where at home. Even though he has a microchip that does not help me with tracking his movements. I have faith that he will be found one way or another and when I do get him back I would like to GPS him so that if this where to ever happen again I can find him asap rather then stressing myself out with this. Please send me an email with all the info you can possable give me about this GPS chiping devise so that I can lock and load him up with a 24/7 servalince.

I found this on the web from the FCC: WHAT LEVELS ARE SAFE FOR EXPOSURE TO RF ENERGY?

If you want to compare that to your cell phone this might be helpful too: Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Cellular Telephones

I hope that helps.

My assumption is that they would both work just fine if they are on at the same time. I also don't know of any cell phone providers in Canada or any dog tracking products that work in this country. Most tracking devices will provide a coverage map to let you know if your location is covered. For example, <a href="http://www.zoombak.com/coverage/" rel="nofollow">Zoombak's coverage map</a> appears to include just the United States with no coverage in Canada. - Joe Hi Mary-Beth,
