Astro 430 It is the latest innovation from the Garmin firm, which has created an application that allows dogs to be tracked by GPS, so that they do not get lost. There have been many initiatives of this type, but rather aimed at individuals. On this occasion we find a tool that is aimed more at working dogs, since it allows us to control up to 20 dogs.
This new device, which features a collar with GPS system and with an application that we can have controlled from a Garmin device, either on a clock, on a large or small screen. This is a perfect tool if we are talking about guide dogs, rescue or working dogs, which can get lost in certain circumstances. One more advance to take care of our furry ones.
The truth is that the entire device stops getting the dogs monitored With GPS system it is quite expensive, since the collars cost more than 700 euros, and they are available in two sizes, for large and mini dogs. In addition, you would have to buy the screen or one of the other devices to be able to see the position of the dogs, which reaches up to 14 kilometers away. In addition, this signal is updated every 2,5 seconds to be able to control the dog. And the necklaces also have an LED light to be able to find them even at night.
Without a doubt it is a device that not everyone can afford to have the dog controlled with GPS. It is a more valid idea for police or working dogs, in which you want to invest this money in order to control your position at all times. Do not forget that the Astro 430 allows up to 20 different dogs to be monitored, although we would have to invest in collars for all. It is a very original idea although more oriented to professionals.
