8 High-Tech Accessories for Your Pet

1. Tagg Pet Tracker

The Tagg pet tracker is a GPS attachment for your pet's collar that serves two functions. First, it tracks your pet in case it ever gets lost. The app will send you a text message or email if your pet travels beyond its designated boundaries, then lead you directly to the animal's location. Second, it tracks the animals activity like a canine Fitbit or Fuelband, so you can make sure Fido is getting enough exercise. Cost: The device costs $99.95, and the service costs $7.95 per month after a three-month free trial.Mashable composite: Images courtesy of Tagg
