XYO and One Dog One Bone: Tracking our Furry Friends with Sentinels!

Dog owners, YOU know that it’s practically im-frickin-possible to find a bathing pool that survives one or two summers before morphing into a collapsing, dirty, chewed-up mess.

Because while you’re giving your German Shepherd or Yorkie or Chocolate Lab or Boxer a bath, your dog really thinks you’re playing a game that generally revolves around splashing huge amounts of water, using the tub as a giant chew toy, and barreling through the house at roughly 78,000,000 miles per hour, jumping on your off-limits furniture, and rolling around on your expensive rugs — all while totally soaking wet.

Raymond Palmer, general manager of One Dog One Bone, knows that any dog pool that withstands the test of time will have to be tough-as-nails and totally chew-proof. So he manufactures and sells heavy duty, dog-shaped pools made out of the same hardy material used in truck bed liners.

Just recently, however, Raymond came up with an idea. What if he could use XYO’s beacons to track shipments, and then ultimately track our beloved, furry friends?

It’s a brilliantly simple idea that we immediately loved — this double chihuahua-owning writer included!

After sentinels are placed in One Dog One Bone shipments, pet owners can attach those XY4+s to their dogs’ collars for tracking!

This will automatically help build out the XYO network. And the tracking will certainly be helpful when a dog just took off down the hallway, post-bath, with plans to make sure that brand new sofa in the guest bedroom permanently smells of organic vanilla doggy shampoo.

This is a use case with heart, which is why we’re happy to place sentinels in One Dog One Bone shipments to be sent all over the country.

Welcome to the XYO family, One Dog One Bone!
