Every dog owner has had that heart-stopping moment: you call your dog's name, and they don't come running. Whether it's a gate left open, a collar that slipped off, or just a particularly adventurous escape artist, losing a beloved pet is one of our worst nightmares.
For decades, pet owners have been promised GPS microchips that could solve this problem. "Coming soon," companies would say. "Just around the corner." "Almost ready."
Well, the wait is almost over.
At HALO Technologies, we've done what the industry said was impossible: created the world's first truly functional GPS implantable microchip for pets. Our beta program launches in September 2025, and here's everything you need to know about what's real, what's coming, and what comes next.
For over a decade, pet tech companies have teased GPS microchips that never materialized. Why? Because they couldn't solve four fundamental problems:
The Power Problem: GPS tracking eats battery life. Traditional approaches would drain a chip-sized battery in hours.
The Size Problem: Cramming GPS receivers, transmitters, processors, and power sources into something smaller than a grain of rice seemed impossible.
The Signal Problem: GPS signals barely penetrate skin and tissue. Most attempts failed completely indoors or under dense fur.
The Safety Problem: Creating a device that could safely live in your pet's body for years without causing harm required breakthrough materials science.
We didn't just solve these problems—we revolutionized them:
Power: Our multi-modal energy harvesting system generates electricity from your dog's body heat, movement, and ambient light. No charging. No battery replacement. Years of operation.
Size: At just 15mm × 3mm, the HALO chip is smaller than most traditional ID microchips while delivering full GPS functionality.
Signal: Our advanced antenna design and signal processing provide reliable GPS tracking even under thick fur and through tissue.
Safety: Medical-grade borosilicate glass housing with full biocompatibility certification. Safer than traditional microchips.
The HALO chip doesn't just have a battery—it IS a power plant:
Thermoelectric Generation: Your dog's body temperature creates a constant temperature differential with the environment. Our thermoelectric generators convert this heat difference into continuous electricity.
Kinetic Energy Capture: Every step, every tail wag, every movement generates power through advanced piezoelectric materials. The more active your dog, the more power we generate.
Photovoltaic Backup: Microscopic solar cells supplement power when your pet is in sunlight, extending operational capability during outdoor adventures.
Smart Power Management: Our advanced processor intelligently manages power consumption, ensuring maximum efficiency while maintaining connectivity.
HALO doesn't rely on short-range technologies that fail when you need them most:
Cellular Connectivity: HALO connects directly to cellular networks—the same infrastructure your phone uses. Coverage anywhere you have cell service.
Bluetooth Integration: For close-range communication and app connectivity when you're near your pet.
GPS Precision: Professional-grade GPS receiver provides location accuracy within a few meters, with rapid positioning acquisition.
Here's what HALO is designed to deliver:
Battery Life: Indefinite operation with energy harvesting. Backup battery provides emergency power during extended inactive periods.
Location Updates:
Accuracy: Meter-level precision under optimal conditions, accurate enough to pinpoint which yard your dog is exploring.
Coverage: Works anywhere with cellular coverage—urban, suburban, and most rural areas.
While other companies make promises, HALO has working prototypes ready for real-world testing. Our beta program launches September 2025 with select veterinary partners.
Every aspect of HALO has been rigorously developed:
HALO isn't just hardware—it's a complete pet safety platform:

Consider the costs of a lost pet:
HALO provides protection that pays for itself the first time it helps you locate your pet quickly and safely.
HALO's breakthrough technology opens doors to exciting new applications:
As the pioneer in GPS microchip technology, HALO is leading the industry forward:
HALO works best for dogs who are:
Size Requirements: HALO is suitable for dogs over a certain weight threshold. Check with beta partners for specific requirements.
Lifestyle Factors: Dogs with higher activity levels may see enhanced performance from kinetic energy harvesting.
Beta Commitment: Beta participants should be prepared to provide feedback and work with our team to refine the technology.
Technology Comfort: While HALO is designed to be user-friendly, comfort with smartphone apps is helpful.
