The tags collect biometric data,its actually a little chip with a battery this means the health and wellness of the animal can be determined. The tags combine sensors and smart radio technology to deliver valuable information about the animal to a receiver or cell phone up to 30 feet away. The tags collect various information ,animals often hide their illnesses for days but the tags can detect problems immediately.
