Your Fetch’d tag has a passive tracking solution meaning every time your pet is scanned, you will be notified. A GPS location will be sent and comes from the smartphone that scans the QR code. Fetch’d is a passive GPS tracker. There is no battery in our product, so no GPS signal is given out. We truly believe that a community has a better chance of reuniting pets with their owners, as GPS trackers can be discarded or tampered with and present various functionality issues and, most importantly, provide health risks to your pet who is wearing it around their neck 24/7.
