Buy it / skip it.
Buy if: it has bolted through the door before
That is the most honest reason. The collar earns its keep on the one day you need it.
Buy if: your dog is over 7
Decline in an older dog is gradual and invisible day to day. Continuous data reveals the trend.
Skip if: your cat stays indoors
Indoor cats face snagging risk with little benefit. A camera suits that need better.
