Now that the clocks have gone back, most evening dog walks happen in the dark. Your dog still needs the exercise, but it is much harder to see where they are once they are off the lead. A GPS tracker for dogs solves that worry: you see your dog’s precise location in the app, so you can find them quickly even when it is pitch black.<\/p>\n

Why dark evenings make walks riskier<\/h3>\n
