Keeping Dogs Safe: Q&A with the PAJ Pet Finder 4G GPS Tracker

**Collaborative Post**

Losing sight of your dog, even for a few minutes, is enough to send any pet owner into a panic. Whether they bolt after a rabbit, slip through a gate, or just wander off during a walk, dogs can disappear quickly, and finding them again isn’t always easy. That’s where GPS pet trackers come in handy. Devices like the PAJ Pet Finder 4G offer real-time location tracking, geofence alerts, and route history, helping you stay connected to your dog wherever they roam.

In this post, we can hopefully answer some of the questions that you might have and look at some of the most frequently asked questions dog owners have about pet GPS trackers that might be making you hesitant to purchase.

1. How does the PAJ Pet Finder 4G tracker work?

The PAJ Pet Finder 4G uses GPS and 4G mobile networks to send live location data to your smartphone or computer via the Finder Portal app. Once the device is attached to your dog’s collar or harness, you can see exactly where they are in real time, whether they’re in the garden, the park, or halfway across the countryside. It’s reliable even in more rural or wooded areas, which makes it a good choice for adventurous dogs or for pet owners who like to go on longer, more adventurous, or rural walks where a dog could easily slip out of sight! 

2. How long does the battery last, and how often should I charge it?

Battery life depends on how you use the tracker. If it’s in standby mode and not actively tracking movement, it can last several days. But if you’re using the live tracking feature regularly, you’ll likely need to top it up every day or two. For most dog owners, it’s easiest to charge the tracker overnight to ensure it's ready for the next outing.

3. Can I set up alerts if my dog leaves a specific area?

Yes, one of the most useful features is the ability to create virtual boundaries, known as geofences. For example, you can set a zone around your home or local park, and if your dog leaves that area, you’ll get an instant alert on your phone. This gives you a heads-up before your dog wanders too far and helps you act quickly if they do go missing, without getting constant alerts when they are in an area you have already deemed safe, such as your garden. 

4. Is it easy to set up and suitable for all dog sizes?

The tracker comes ready to go – just charge it up, activate it online, and attach it to your dog’s collar with the included strap. The device is lightweight and water-resistant, so it won’t get in the way on walks or during play. That said, it’s best suited for medium and large dogs – it may be a bit bulky for toy breeds or very small pups. The set does come with extra straps so you can replace if they get broken, dirty or just overused. 


5. Do I need to pay a subscription to use it?

Yes, the tracker works via mobile data, so you’ll need a subscription to keep it connected. Plans are available monthly at around £5.99 per month or £54.99 yearly, depending on what suits you best. While this is an extra cost, it’s necessary to keep the GPS tracking active and accessible through the app, and paying yearly, it works out at less than £5 a month! 

6. Why choose a GPS tracker over a Bluetooth tag?

Bluetooth trackers can be useful in short-range scenarios, but they rely on nearby phones to pick up signals, which isn’t helpful if your dog is lost in a remote area where the Bluetooth might be unable to update and give you an accurate result. A GPS tracker like the PAJ Pet Finder 4G connects over the mobile network, giving you accurate updates no matter how far your dog has roamed (as long as there’s signal). It’s a much more dependable option if you regularly walk off-lead, live in the countryside, or simply want more peace of mind.
