Tractive Dog & Cat GPS Tracker, White

I've waited a couple weeks to review this. This tracker is simply amazing. I use it for my indoor/outdoor cat and it's solved my anxiety. I have successfully picked him up from his location more than once. Battery seems to last at least 3 days straight. It hasn't fallen off his kinda flimsy cat collar. The "live" tracking mode is amazing with pinpointing exactly where your pet is, but the app automatically updates every 10 or so minutes. It has a great heat map that let's you see where your pet is traveling throughout the day and where they spend the most time. The only wish I have is that you could remotely turn the tracker on and off, instead of having to manually do it. I just keep it on because I've waited a couple weeks to review this.

Anyways, highly recommend! Worth every penny. I did the 2 year subscription and it's very cheap. … more

We were on the hunt for a dog gps tracker and this Tractive tracker looked great. Half the price of some of the others and it works exactly as we hoped. Tells me exactly where our dog Izzy is when she's off leash, even when she bolted into the woods after some critter. The activity tracking, which is kind of like a Fitbit is fun too. The default size for virtual fences is a bit large but still super helpful. Easy to setup. Highly recommend this device.

City dwelling Labrador with taste for freedom. After 2 years and dozens of escapes we got a Tractive GPS tracker. It is truely fantastic. Very intuitive. Easy to set up geo fence. Tells you when the battery is low. Easy to use with any collar. Gives a pretty exact location of your pooch! This is perfect to keep tabs on our little freedom seeker. Highly recommend.

We bought this because our Rat Terrier has gotten out of our fenced in backyard more than once and it is really hard to find her in the dark. The app works great by letting you know when you need to recharge the tracker and then lets you know when it is recharged. (Each charge has lasted a few days - might vary depending on how you use it.) Has a nice "find" function which emits a light and/or a sound from the tracker if you need to find your pet and also lets you know if you are getting closer to it. She doesn't seem to mind having it on her collar. I would highly recommend this product.

Buy at own risk. Did not work at all. Kept shutting off and saying it was not charged. For the 1 minute it did work it said the cat was outside and he was right next to me. Have you sign up for a subscription plan just to see if the tracker works and when mine didn't they don't refund your subscription fee. I canceled in under 24 hours. Total disappointment. Oh and customer service is only via email. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

My puppy has been using this for eight months now and I am pleased with it. I got it for her when I bring her to the farm without any fences and felt additional security that even if she wanders far I could still find her. Later on saw the feature of it tracking her activity and nearby pets and became a friendly challenge. Everyday I check how she is doing compared to her virtual "friends." I initially paid for an annual subscription thinking that I may not end up continuing it but I am sure that we will be keeping it. I highly recommend especially for owners who have ninja skilled pets.

Our 7 month old Jindo mix puppy can wander a bit when we are camping, visiting my parents who have a big backyard or on trail hikes and Tractive has brought us peace of mind. It is a sleek little device that lets us create virtual fences, measure activity levels, track live GPS or periodically, receive notifications, and make a sound/flash the light via the app. Additionally, the app is well designed, has many features and works flawlessly. Very happy with the product and highly recommend!

The app is expensive and while I was excited about setting up a virtual fence for my pup, it isn't very accurate. I got a tracker because my dog is an escape artist and my neighbors were getting upset about it while we're in the slow process of fixing our fence. While the Tractive App allows you to set up a virtual fence the MINIMUM length is 50 square meters. Our house is far smaller than this. So I set the fence to furthest away from our angriest neighbor, but still around our house. It notifies me about 10 minutes after my dog has left the "fence" and sometimes it notifies me when we're just sitting on my porch that he has "left" the fence, even if he hasn't moved an inch.

The reporting in the non active mode of 10-60 minutes is fairly useless if you want to keep a close eye on your pet. I guess it serves a purpose if your pet is lost. Active tracking works fairly well but is what I believe to be not very accurate and can be 20 to 50 feet off. this is not a big problem except when it comes to the virtual fence. I would suggest looking closer at other options for gps if you need to keep close eye on your pet. Can not say I am totally displeased with purchase for the unit however am with the yearly fee for the results I am getting.

One of my cats goes on "Walkabout" & sometimes hides from us when we call. We try to get her in before dusk, but it doesn't always happen. I belong to "Nextdoor" & someone suggested this product. It's been great. She can run, but she can't hide anymore. The weight doesn't seem to stop or slow her down at all.
