Mini Pet Tracker: Find Fido at night — up to a half-mile away

Let's face it: dogs and cats — like people — tend to wander.

But not all who wander are lost.

From the website:

Mini Pet Tracker

Up to 1/2 mile visibility

Long-life batteries included

Waterproof and submersible

Constructed of an indestructible resin

Will not interfere with your pet's vision

Uses two 1.5 volt, type 357 batteries (included)

Fits any collar size, using the clip or breakaway safety ring

Interior is O-ring sealed, making it totally water-submersible

Provides up to 130 hours of continuous use between battery replacements

....................

Let's see: 24 into 130 = 5 days and 10 hours.

Doesn't seem very practical, does it?

I mean, having to buy and put in new batteries every five days will get old real fast — like in about five days.

Now, if it automatically went on at dusk or in the dark, that would at least double the battery life but even two weeks is not enough to make it truly useful.

I see this little light as having more utility as a human key chain add-on than in the animal space.

You just never know when you'll need a flashing red light.
