I can't imagine the heartbreak finding your pet that way.<br><br>That being said, this is a great Idea! It would be better if it came in a harness type. This would limit freak-outer while it was inflating and offer support to the body so the dog wouldn't choke.<br>So it would inflate like a lifejacket. This would be useful in so many ways.<br>We take out two Rotties boating and to the beach all the time. They are great swimmers. But our female doesn't like wearing her lifejacket once she's out of the water. This would be great so we could take the jackets off while in the boat. If they fell in, SAVED.<br>Necessity is the mother of invention.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bigdogowner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 12th 2008 3:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Float-a-Pet inflatable collar helps track, save dog's life]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</guid><description><![CDATA[Dear Friend,<br><br>We got your infomation from internet to know that you are in the market of GPS tracker ,i.e. pet tracker.our pet GPS tracker is the samallest in the world <br><br>.We would like to introduce our company and products in the hope of establishing business relations with you.Thank you for spending 1 munites reading our <br><br>mail. <br><br>we are a china manufacturer  of high-tech electronics such as PND ,GPS system ,GPS tracker ,and industrial PDA/PPC (handheld computer ) ,our products  are <br><br>popular in Europe,Canada,U.S.A,Japan,...etc. please check the attached file .<br><br>the advantage of us is the competitive price and quality .<br><br>If you are interested in them,we will send our quotation and specifications to you.<br>Any questions,do not hesitate to contact us.<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Bruce<br><br>Rainbow Industrial (HK) Co,.Ltd<br>add:Room 402, building 117, sungang village,luohu district,<br>shenzhen, china<br>email:brucezhangyihua@gmail.com<br>mobile phone :+86-15989397485<br>msn :cloudstarnight@hotmail.com<br>skype :cloudstarnight<br>website:www.rainowindustrial.cn]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bruce]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 8th 2008 12:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Float-a-Pet inflatable collar helps track, save dog's life]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good God!

I see I was proven wrong.  After some additional thought though I could see this helping the smaller breeds of dogs that may not have the power to keep themselves afloat long enough to reach shore.  as far as choking the dog that's not an issue as long as the thing deploys outward not inward, which i'm sure it does.  Also depending how fast it inflates it may not scare the dog at all.  I for one would give it a shot if I had a little rat-dog near water.  Luckily my dog can swim really well and is trained well enough to not jump in water unless I tell her to, then again she also doesn't touch her food until I give the command that its ok.  When you have a dog that weighs 170lbs. and is 4'2" obedience training is a must.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wolff000]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 17th 2006 3:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Float-a-Pet inflatable collar helps track, save dog's life]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</guid><description><![CDATA[Can we just teach the dog how to swim?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eddy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 17th 2006 3:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Float-a-Pet inflatable collar helps track, save dog's life]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</guid><description><![CDATA[Greetings,<br> <br>As what i read on this posted article, i found out the informativeness of this <br>kind of topic.

Because our 35 lb pug fell in the pool at 1:00 am last night and because he doesnt swin, at best vertically, for a few minutes. So we heard him, ran to the pool tore our nightshirts off, dove in and hauled him to shore. No, some dogs are physically not designed to swim, or are too stupid to find the way out of a pool, at night, or they have bad eyesight,,, or their fur is too heavy and pulls them down. So the first thing I did was to Google "inflatable dog collar wondering if there was such a thing, and low and behold someone is working on it. So more power to you, this is an inventive thing. There are negatives to just about anything and quirks to work out, but if this device saves a life of a pet, its a good thing.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sinthia Szato]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 13th 2007 1:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Float-a-Pet inflatable collar helps track, save dog's life]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sinthia,<br><br>I am so glad you heard your dog and managed to save him. We lost our pug on July 27th, 2005. While we were at work, he jumped in the swimmimg pool in the backyard. It was one of the Wal-Mart type ... 12 feet across, 4 feet deep, and with an inflated ring around the edge. We'd actually taken him swimming in the river with us a few times and took him into the pool when we were home and let him swim around with us, but there's no way he could get out over that ring once he fell in. The cover was on the pool at the time, too. It's been almost two years now, and it's still heart-wrenching for me to think about. <br><br>He was just about the pinnacle of fitness in a pug ... 1 year, 9 months old and only 18 pounds, and that was all muscle. We kept him in great shape, and he still couldn't make it out. We never would have imagined that he would make a four-foot jump into the pool.<br><br>So for all you nay-sayers ... if you've ever lost a pet to a drowning accident, you'd be singing a different toon. Something like this could have saved my dog's life, and I applaud it's inventor for it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 28th 2007 10:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Float-a-Pet inflatable collar helps track, save dog's life]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</guid><description><![CDATA[this is a nice idea. ;)<br><br>-Andrei<br><a href="http://www.designerdogcollar-4less.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.designerdogcollar-4less.com</a><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[designer dog collar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2007 10:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Float-a-Pet inflatable collar helps track, save dog's life]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/float-a-pet-inflatable-collar-helps-track-save-dogs-life/</guid><description><![CDATA[Float-a-Pet!
