Product Description
The Zoombak� Advanced GPS Dog Locator is a dependable and accurate way to help keep track of your dog's real-time location on-demand 24 hours, 7 days a week. Zoombak communicates its GPS position to you via the national network of a leading cellular carrier, so it can assist you in finding your dog in this nationwide coverage area. Additionally, Zoombak uses Assisted Global Positioning System (A-GPS), which brings together both satellite and cellular technologies allowing for a more precise and reliable way to determine the location of your Zoombak Locator. Our small, lightweight, water-resistant locator attaches comfortably to your dog�s collar with a durable and secure Zoombak pouch (included). If your dog leaves or is taken from the safety zone you have created, e.g., your backyard, you can be promptly notified by text and/or email (your choice). You can then pinpoint your dog�s real-time location on-demand via Zoombak.com or through our live, toll-free customer care which is available 24/7. Additionally, you can determine your dog's location in real time using our continuous tracking option which provides your pet's location every 5 minutes for up to an hour. Simply log on to Zoombak.com to view a map of your dog's current location, as well as his path taken since leaving home. Unlimited on-demand location requests, an easy-to-use website, and a 24/7 toll-free phone number for live customer care and location support, will provide you with the peace of mind you are looking for in pet safety. Zoombak locator is 2.87" x 1.69" x .0.82" (L x W x H), weighs only 2.5 ounces and is water-resistant. Long-life battery of up to 5 days on standby or up to 150 location requests before recharging. Recommended for dogs over 15 lbs. Zoombak requires a monthly service plan starting at $9.99/month. Minimum service term required. Activation and use of Zoombak locators are subject to Zoombak's customer agreement, plans, terms and conditions.

 Do not buy - to slow to be usable March 14, 2010
Peter Benson (Bethlehem PA)
Struggled to activate system, it took almost one week of switching off, resetting, putting the devise out under a clear sky. It probably had to do with the fact that the software was trying to update - Finally got it working (I have advanced computer skills, so not sure others would have persevered - it was very difficult to activate).
Have been testing the devise by carrying it in the car and the time taken to send notifications when dog "leaves home" is a minimum of 15 minutes. On receipt of the message if you request a "Find" the typical response is "can not locate at the moment - please try later". Have tried the Find at many locations well within the coverage area and over 50% of the requests resulted in "can not locate" yet I was next to the devise and tower signal was excellent.
I would recommend not to purchase at this time, the web site is slick as are the promotional materials but the product clearly does not work as advertised.
Be Careful! March 9, 2010
Craig H. Steiger (Houston, TX)
Thought I would try this item out. Purchased the unit and put it on a month to month payment plan. After 2 months, decided to cut the service off. BEWARE- they sucker you into a $100.00 early termination fee if you try to cut the service off before one year! So you have to do your evail within the 30 days trial period, then it becomes a year long contract. I should have read all the details more closely, got burnt this time. I would never do business with this company again!
 Zoombak's ups and downs March 1, 2010
Measuray Cross (LA, CA)
After using the Zoombak on my dog, I find that the device doesn't stay put around the dog's collar. Like most dogs, my dog shakes to cleans himself of debris and when he does, the device ends up underneath his throat which makes it hard for the GPS to give me a location. I have to hope and pray that he will rollover on his back and I can get a location then. Other than that, it works. When I used the device for the first time, my dog was shocked to see me come get him and beside himself the second time, but the third time he fixed me. The third time he ran out of the garage before I could put the device on him, so I assumed he would be in his same location to no avail. I had to relie on him to come home on his own. Smart dog!
Didn't work for us. They care more about money than the item working! February 18, 2010

I purchased this device for my father who has dementia, as we were afraid he would get lost. It didn't work well as we weren't able to track him when we went on a test walk. My father became too ill to leave the house soon after we purchased the zoombak so we never really used it. My mother set up a credit card for the montly fee. My mother soon thereafter suffered a stroke and was unable to communicate. The credit card continued to be charged until the credit card expired. We were then sent a letter threating to turn us into collection and putting a negative report on their credit record. I've tried to communicate with zoombak to clear this up and they won't help me since I am not the customer. I have all the account information and passwords but they still won't help. I've even given them a legal document that says I can represent my parents but they still won't work with me. I think they want the monthly fees so bad that the don't care about our situation. Pretty bad when a company contiues to press you for payments under these circumstances. I would steer clear of zoombak!
 Beware of hidden costs February 4, 2010

The product advertises no hidden fees -- but that's not quite true. If you cancel within 12-months of activation, early termination fee of $100. On top of that, they will turn your device into brick and you won't be able to pass it on for someone else to use.
It's a decent product, but the poor contracting makes it difficult to like.
