SpotOn GPS Fence was named Pet Safety Product of the Year in the Outdoor Innovation Awards, recognizing the brand's leadership in GPS-based dog containment and outdoor pet safety technology. Just months later, SpotOn earned a second 2026 honor, being named Fencing Product of the Year in the Pet Innovation Awards.

The Outdoor Innovation Awards honor products that are advancing the outdoor industry through innovation, performance, and real-world impact. SpotOn was the only pet product recognized this year, highlighting its unique position at the intersection of outdoor innovation, and pet tech.

The Pet Innovation Awards celebrate innovations that are redefining the pet care industry, recognizing products and solutions that improve the way people care for and support their pets. SpotOn’s Fencing Product of the Year recognition further highlights the system’s impact within the pet industry and its role in advancing modern dog containment.

Judges recognized SpotOn for redefining dog containment with patented GPS technology that eliminates the need for buried wires or traditional base stations, allowing dog owners to create customizable virtual fences virtually anywhere - from the backyard to the back country. Features like Off-Grid Mode, Keep Out Zones, activity tracking, and enhanced GPS accuracy further reinforced SpotOn’s commitment to innovation built for real outdoor use.

Together, the two 2026 Product of the Year awards add to SpotOn’s growing list of industry recognitions and reinforce the brand’s role in helping dog owners safely explore more with their pets. Recognition from both the outdoor recreation and pet care industries underscores SpotOn’s position at the intersection of pet safety, GPS technology, and outdoor freedom.
