Tractive Dog & Cat GPS Tracker, White

this is the best thing we could of bought our boy gets out of the eye and he’s gone, we’ve found him without the tracker 20 miles away from home (facebook also is a saver) we paid for the yearly payment and it’s been SO amazing.. it alerts you for lots of things, it tells you when the battery is low then critically low, when he leaves his virtual fence it also alerts us. you can set up the account on multiple phones. it’s like a life 360 for dogs. i absolutely love this tracker and it’s made me feel a lot better about leaving him at home.

The only reason I am giving a 4 star review instead of 5 is because it broke when I needed it the most. I left my dog with my parents when I went on a trip and put the GPS tracker on her collar just to be safe as she is a flight risk when I’m not around. I put the tracker in power saving mode so it wouldn’t need to be charged while I was away. Three days into my trip I get a call from my mother asking me to ping my dog’s tracker because she is missing, but when I go to the Tractive app, the tracker appears to be stuck in power saving mode and I can’t do anything to locate the tracker. I end my trip early to look for her and after about 12 hours we find her with the help of animal control.

Funny enough, animal control called me because my number was written on the back of the tracker (she had an ID tag and microchip as well but the tracker is what animal control used first). To wrap up a long story, the tracker stayed on her collar the entire time, but it must have broken when my dog busted through my parent’s fence because that’s when it stopped working. I like to think that if she didn’t have the tracker on her collar she would’ve gotten a nasty cut in her neck, but at the same time I wish it hadn’t broken when I needed it the most because it would’ve saved a lot of time and stress. I should add my dog got hit by a car on her little adventure so the GPS could’ve broken at that time, but if that was the case then the GPS didn’t leave power saving mode like it should have when getting too far from my parent’s house. Either way I would recommend using this product not in power saving mode because it seemed to give me problems even before leaving on my trip. … more

I've tried Fi, and Whistle. This works FAR better than the other 2. Now let me clarify - I want to TRACK my dog, the other bells and whistles are interesting, but besides the point. If the unit does not quickly - and accurately- locate my dog, it's worthless to me. This unit tracks very quickly with great accuracy. The only downside I have with it is the charging system is not a very positive connection, and could be improved. But after 3 months it hasn't failed me, and the unit works great. I charge it nightly - it will last for 2 days but I don't want to chance a lost dog with a dying battery on his locator. BTW, the other brands did not last past 2 days either, even though they (falsely) advertise I've tried Fi, and Whistle. This works FAR better than the other 2.

This tracker is garbage, when she's sitting on my lap inside it shows her on the property next door. I got it so I could find her if she's lost and how am I supposed to do that if it doesn't show anywhere even close to where she is? In live mode it looks as if she's sprinting around the property at all times even when she's napping in a cat bed inside. Worst tracker ever.

After having the product for several weeks & using it, I'm not satisfied with it at all.im constantly have to resync the collar to my phone/app. It's always saying can't connect..can't find location. It's more 9f a frustration to use the product then not. This is not a product I would recommend.

I have a runner. She's escaped twice and come back twice. NOW I have this. I can tell it works on our walks and when she's at home and I'm not, but I haven't really had to use it to track her yet. Soon, I'll test her off leash when we are hiking remotely. If she doesn't stay with me, I'll be tracking her. Ask me again in a month. The battery seems to last longer than was listed, but I haven't had it on LIVE for very long.

My German Shepherd loves to run on our land, so he is not tethered. Generally he stays within his zone, but on occasion he will go a little farther. With the tracker, I get notified and can call him back. Love it!!!

I really like this tracker. The app is easy to use and set up. It fits on our existing collar very well. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that I wish the tracker stayed charged longer.

Only had the device for a week but it has been performing as advertised. I have not really tested all of the potential but for the little time that my dog has had the device on it has provided a rapid and accurate location that is surprisingly sensitive to even movements of short distances. I have not studied the results of his activity tracking but it is recording times of exercise and rest. Time will tell but so far, I am impressed.

This is the best thing ever since my dogs are runners. I seen some reviews where you have to pay $100 to activate and they shoulda read the fine print. You don’t have to. Click on basic premium when setting it up on your phone and it will give you the option to pay $10.00 a month.
