Pets frequently have implanted microchips, but for identification purposes, not live tracking. I suspect folks offer GPS trackers for pets already.

Lifestock you can typically afford to lose a couple of.

"afford" is relative. If a tracker is cheaper than the expected loss value (replacement value X percent chance of losing an animal), it makes sense to track.
