Zoombak ™

Roger T. — Dallas, TX (Dog's Name: Cissy)Cissy, my English Cocker female, is 16-months old and an energetic, sporting breed that is scent-driven and very prone to explore on her own. I have set up the home zone for about 1/8 mile around our home. The other night it was storming and dark. Cissy took off into the dark, and I did not see which direction she ran. I ran to my desktop, looked up her location, and spotted her on the map about four blocks SW of our home. I walked quickly to the spot and found her sniffing around in a field, within 50' of where the map indicated she would be. We are impressed with Zoombak.

Julie R. — Austin, TX (Dog's Name: Jake)Zoombak has helped us find Jake on more than a few occasions. He loves to roam free and we found ourselves constantly driving around for hours looking for him without a clue of which direction he had gone. With Zoombak, if he does get out, we've got him back home in a matter of minutes. This is a huge peace of mind for our family.

Shannon R. — Ada, MI (Dog's Name: Nettie)Hi. My name is Nettie and I am a Beagle. I am happy and full of energy and though I love my family I can't help but feel the wanderlust typical of my kind. When I am outside, I am kept safe in a fenced in yard, but I have found my way out three times now through a gate or door that as left open by mistake. I have great and far adventures when I am out that last for several hours, even long into the night. My Mom is in tears when she comes to pick me up from the nice people that I find once I am tired. I guess they read my name tag and call my home. We discovered early on that the underground fence does not work for me. Nothing matters once I smell those rabbits! Mom says that now that I have my Zoombak locator at least she will know where to find me if I get out again. This photo is of me looking out at that big world that I dream about exploring. When I wear the locator (which is on all of the time during the day), Mom says I'm "Zooming". I like that.

Laura M. — Warrensburg, MO (Dog's Name: Scout)We adopted a beautiful cocker spaniel in Nov. 2007 that had been in a puppy mill most of his life. He had lived in a cage for 3 1/2 years with no socialization of any kind, including both humans and other animals. Scout has had to learn how to walk on a leash, what treats are, and how to be sociable. He is afraid of so many things and still spent his first few weeks in his crate. After about a month, he had learned to walk on a leash, but was still afraid of it. One night on a walk, my husband tripped and dropped the leash, causing Scout to take off running. We were not able to catch him and now this leash - that he was so afraid of - was chasing him. We spent that entire night looking for him on foot and by car -- we even took our other rescue walking with us, hoping he would see her and come out, since he was still very afraid of people. After 2 days without sleep, it started snowing. My husband and I were taking shifts in the carport hoping to see him and my husband dozed off. He woke up to paw prints in the snow. He followed them and I went to the back door to let our other dog out. Scout was waiting patiently at the back door for us to let him in. A week later, this happened again and we spent another 2 sleepless nights looking for our new baby. My mom made a comment about him being microchipped and that we could just look him up. We explained that microchips couldn't track a dog, just ID him if he was found and actually approached someone. This put the idea of a GPS tracker in our heads. If cars could have them, why not dogs. After much research, we decided on the Zoombak. We even spent all of our Christmas money to purchase it, simply for the peace of mind that it would provide us. I had become afraid to walk the dog, despite knowing that he needed these outings. With the Zoombak, we have been able to resume our daily walks without worrying so much about losing Scout again. We have not had to use it and Scout has become much more comfortable with us and has not tried to run lately, but we feel better knowing that we have the ability to find him should he disappear again.

Diamond K. — Kentwood, MI (Dog's Name: Ruby&Blue)I use the Zoombak for my two dogs everyday – Ruby (Miniature Pincher) and Blue (Chihuahua).. My Chihuahua ran away in the winter for three days. She is micro-chipped but I was so worried because she is scared of people and I knew that not just anybody would be able to pick her up if they found her. The second I saw that they finally came out with a GPS for dogs I was so excited and went out and bought two; one for each dog. Thanks Zoombak!
