Do you want to know where your cat or dog is? Then you can get a GPS tag from Findster use. Unfortunately, these are not cheap (150 euros for one tag, 200 euros for two), but after that you can see all day where your pet hangs out. Nice is that you immediately see how many steps your animal takes. You can even set an alarm if the animal moves outside a certain area. The app is beautifully designed and is a must for anyone with a pet that comes outside.
