Caution: Doggie Picture Overload

“This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Tagg™ Pet Tracker, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #pettracker  http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO.”

Ever since I saw this video from Jenna Marbles "What dogs do when you're not home" I've always wondered what General Neyland and Venus do all day while I'm gone.

I like to imagine they are having cocktail parties with the pups at the apartment complex next door....



Or heading down the street to the local dog park for book club on the third Wednesday of each month.





But what I found when I started tracking their activity with the Tagg Pet Tracker is that they were pretty much just doing this all day long...




The Tagg Pet Tracker is seriously the coolest gadget you can get for your dog. It tracks your pet via GPS and you can set a tagg zone so if they wander outside that zone, you are notified. Since I live in an apartment, this wasn't nearly as valuable to me as the activity tracking feature it offers. You can track both the duration and intensity of your dog's activity each day, from walking to snoozing, which helps give you an insight into your pet's overall health. 



Tagg actually gives you a recommended activity range based on your dog's size and breed. The very first day General wore the tracker, he only got 250 points. The next day, I grabbed both pups and we went to the dog park for some much needed exercise (seeing as they clearly aren't attending book club or cocktail parties).

It was super easy to switch the tracker to the other pup, as well. The Tagg tracker actually came with two holsters. So I just left one on Venus and one on General and switched as I wanted to track each one's activity levels. The online site and app even allowed me to create more than one profile. As you can see, Venus is severely hyper. Get a Jack Russell they said, it will be fun they said. 



Yes, I named her Dr. Venus McAwesome. She didn't go to 6 years of evil medical school to be called Mr. thank you very much.




But don't worry, General certainly took full advantage of the recommended resting time as well. Lazy bum! 
I completely recommend the Tagg Pet Tracker, I can't think of a cooler way to track and have fun while improving your pup's health. Tagg is even offering VTIM readers a discount!
