Reliable, real-time tracking with no subscriptions, no cell signal needed, and no bulky gear.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — For dog owners who live off the beaten path or spend weekends in the backcountry, most GPS trackers come with two major problems: they rely on spotty cell service and require ongoing monthly fees. Aorkuler offers a different path — a GPS dog tracker without subscription or cell signal that’s lightweight, easy to use, and built for real adventures.

Now available across the U.S., Aorkuler has gained traction among rural pet owners and outdoor adventurers alike. The system includes a small tracker that clips to the dog’s collar and a handheld receiver that displays real-time direction and distance — all without needing Wi-Fi or a phone connection.

“We heard from people who hike with their dogs, live on farms, or travel off-grid — and they all said the same thing: they just wanted something that works,” said Casou, product manager at Aorkuler. “No apps, no monthly payments, no signal headaches. That’s exactly what we set out to build.”

A Blind Dog, the Colorado Wilderness, and a Simple Solution

Laurie Luce, who lives in rural Colorado, adopted River — a blind rescue dog who loves the outdoors. But over time, River began to stray farther during walks, sometimes losing track of Laurie entirely. Finding a solution that didn’t rely on cell service wasn’t easy — until she came across Aorkuler.

“It was the answer I didn’t know existed,” said Laurie. “Now, I always know where River is. It’s given both of us more freedom and confidence.”

Laurie’s story has resonated with other pet parents caring for senior or special-needs dogs, as well as those whose pets simply love to roam.

Built for Real-Life Dogs, Not Just Big Gear

Unlike heavy-duty tracking systems often designed for hunting dogs, Aorkuler is compact and easy to carry — even for smaller breeds and non-technical users. It’s waterproof, ready for rough conditions, and doesn’t need cellular towers to guide owners to their dogs.

Veterinarians are also starting to take note. Dr. Richard S., a vet and dog owner living in rural Western Canada, tested the Aorkuler with his energetic Gordon Setter and found it far more reliable than subscription-based options.

“If you live in a rural area with limited cell service, or if you take your dog into remote areas with no cell service at all, the Aorkuler dog tracker may be the answer for you,” said Dr. Richard S. “When the numbers start decreasing, I know he’s on his way back long before I spot him again. It’s always gratifying when I call him and almost immediately the numbers go down.”

About Aorkuler

Aorkuler is a pet technology company focused on real-world solutions for dog owners who live, travel, or play beyond the reach of traditional systems. By removing subscriptions, apps, and the need for cell signal, Aorkuler gives owners more freedom — and more peace of mind — wherever their dogs go.

TORONTO, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On May 23, 2025, Changle Shuang, a subsidiary of Visionary Holdings (Nasdaq: GV), officially reached a strategic partnership with the Guangzhou Jianjia Charity Foundation in Guangzhou. The two parties signed a strategic cooperation agreement around the “Healthy Stomach Future, Early Screening for Peace of Mind” national free Helicobacter pylori (Hp) screening campaign, planning to provide free Hp testing services for 10 million users to safeguard national gastrointestinal health with practical actions.

The Hp infection rate in China is as high as 40%-60%, with 70% of infected individuals showing no obvious symptoms. However, long-term infection may trigger chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and even significantly increase the risk of gastric cancer. The World Health Organization (WHO) has listed Hp as a Group I carcinogen, and its potential threat to national health cannot be ignored. This public welfare screening campaign aims to help the public promptly understand their infection status through large-scale testing, enhance public scientific awareness of Hp, promote the implementation of the “National Hp Resistance” initiative, and build a solid defense line for gastrointestinal health.

As a key participant in this collaboration, the Guangzhou Jianjia Charity Foundation was established in October 2017 with donations from Mr. Luo Zhiwen, a descendant of the revolutionary martyr Luo Keming. Over the years, with the support of experts and scholars in the medical and health field and all sectors of society, the foundation has always upheld the mission of “promoting the spirit of public welfare and charity, committing to improving people’s health, and promoting the development of medical and health undertakings,” continuously providing care, support, and rescue services to patients.

Changle Shuang has deepened its presence in the gastrointestinal microecology nutrition and health field, adhering to the core philosophy of “nurturing bacteria to protect the stomach and intestines” and the mission of safeguarding the gastrointestinal health of Chinese people. Relying on a strong team of professional gastrointestinal care specialists, Changle Shuang’s probiotic products for inhibiting Hp have gained wide acclaim in the market due to their Chinese patented technology. In this cooperation, Changle Shuang will fully leverage its product technology and professional service advantages to assist in the efficient implementation of the screening campaign.

In the future, Changle Shuang and the Guangzhou Jianjia Charity Foundation will closely collaborate, integrate resources, and innovate models to ensure that the free screening campaign covers more regions and populations nationwide. The two parties will also further enhance public attention to Hp prevention and treatment through diverse forms such as science popularization promotion and health lectures, contributing positively to achieving the goal of “Hp-free Nation” and advancing the construction of Healthy China.
