Tractive Smart Dog Tracker | 2025 Edition | Real-time GPS Tracking | Escape & Health Alerts | Vitals Monitoring | Market Leader (Mint)

I ordered this for my 9kg Pugzu, after struggling to setup a more basic one, but feeling it was about time to get a dog tracker, considering we're on holiday 200+ miles away next week and I would hate for him to run off and us regret not getting a tracker. I'm also a volunteer for searching for lost dogs with drones and on foot and we're always telling people to get a tracker. The size is good and is fine on my dogs narrow collar. You can get bigger ones for bigger collared dogs. It's simple to use; one button and the app. You can even turn the LED lights on via the app or make it play music. Tracking seems good. It works well, despite the poor hone signal by me. The app works well and is easy to understand. I wa disappointed by the fact that you have to pay for ALL the pans in advance, even the basic one. I. The end, I opted for the 2 year basic plan for £108, but will probably upgrade to premium shortly for £12 for the 2 years. This enables sharing with family and friends and records 365 days of recordings, rather than just today and yesterday. I love the Strava integration. I'll use this regularly and it could replace me using my Smart watch, or at least track alongside. Apart from the plan issue, it's really good and definitely recommended. My to: stick it on PayPal pay in 4. £27/month for 4 months is much more manageable if you're on a budget.

This Item is outstanding! Value for money, specification exceds what I would expect from a device of this cost, battery life out performs its charge time and is extencive. Accurate location of you on your mobile App and the Subject you are Tracking. So much more than just a tracker. Dogs sleep time, calories burned in Excercise Etc, Etc!

I decided to get a collar after all the dogs that went missing locally this year around bonfire night after running off scared. My dog hates loud noises so just wanted peace of mind if he was ever to bolt. I have only had it two weeks but seems to be doing its job. You can see where they have walked, track the exercise, sleep, barking etc. the battery is great. I actually forgot about checking the battery and checked after 13 days and it still had 33% on it which i thought was really good. You can set up a power saving zone which ive done for home so it significantly extends the battery life. I just use with a Heele dog collar in photo also from amazon and fits great. The upfront cost is cheap but be prepared to pay a monthly or yearly subscription. Ive just bought a year as was cheaper. Small price to pay if it helps you find my baby though hope i never need to use it. All in all very happy.

The Tractive Smart Dog Tracker is a fantastic tool for keeping an eye on your furry friend. It looks sleek, has reliable GPS tracking, and comes with useful safety features that give real peace of mind. I also love that you can compete with other users in the Tractive app — it adds a fun, interactive element to tracking your dog’s activity. Overall, a practical and enjoyable gadget for any dog owner.

At the outset I was quite impressed with this device. I was a bit surprised at the additional licence of £160+ for two years. I honestly did not expect that and was a bit shocked to be honest. All went well until yesterday when our Sprocker managed to loose this device from her collar. It was then that we saw the weaknesses beginning to shine through. We did not notice the tracker was missing until we got home. The tracker was showing it was still on the walk that we had just completed. As it was getting late we decided to go back at first light to look for it. We got to the area the tracker was still transmitting from and spent two hours searching without any success despite us standing directly on top of it according to the display. We tried the “ radar” which failed to operate as we were out of Bluetooth range. On getting home I contacted customer support who provided us with a full refund for the tracker and the additional holder which detached. Top marks for Amazon. However, the real sting in the tail came when trying to obtain a refund on this licence I referred to earlier. Navigating the Tractive website was not easy. On going through the fine detail it stated that you could not get a refund for the licence out with 30 days of registering despite it being valid for 2 years. The net result is that we are down £160 through shady dealings. Not impressed by the integrity of the device and also that of the company Tractive as well. They should be made to highlight the licence fee costs and the 30 day refund clause. You have been warned.

Great app and happy to say it works in Epping forest, Victoria Park in East London and in Ballyconneely in the West of Ireland.

The actual tracker is inexpensive considering the technology built in. To get functionality a subscription is required. Nonetheless, with a two year subscription, I think it works out at really good value, especially with the peace of mind it brings. In use, the tracker finds GPS and G4 networks quickly and the location indicated on the map in the app is very accurate and in virtually real time. The LIVE feature is especially useful. The app is intuitive but does seem to eat up data if left on continuously. The battery life is more than adequate and the unit can be charged with a USB-c connector. The app has additional features including health monitoring by measuring pulse and breathing rates. Very pleased with my purchase.

When our dog ran off during a walk, it was one of those moments that makes your heart stop. She had an Apple AirTag on her collar, but once she darted into the thick brush, the AirTag was basically useless without a nearby phone to ping off. That experience made it clear we needed something with real GPS tracking. Enter the Tractive Smart GPS Tracker, and honestly, it’s been a game changer. The device gives you live tracking that’s accurate down to a few metres, even in wooded areas. You can follow your dog’s movements in real time through the app, and it updates constantly without the lag we had with other devices. The virtual fence feature is another standout. You can set a safe zone around your home or favourite walking area, and the moment your dog crosses that invisible boundary, you get an alert. It’s quick, reliable, and gives huge peace of mind. Beyond tracking, the health and activity reports are surprisingly useful. It logs your dog’s daily movement, rest, and overall activity level, almost like a fitness tracker for pets. It’s a nice bonus to see patterns that help you understand their habits better. The device itself is lightweight, waterproof, and easy to attach to a collar. Battery life is solid, and the subscription plan for GPS service feels worth every cent for the reliability it brings. After trying both an AirTag and the Tractive, I can say there’s no comparison. The Tractive Smart GPS Tracker is designed for pets, and it shows in every feature. I 100% recommend it for anyone with a dog who loves to explore—or one that’s just a little too fast when they see a squirrel.

Ein tolles Gerät! Ist ziemlich genau und der Akku ist Klasse 👍 Auch die ganzen anderen Funktionen wie Kontrolle von Herz und Atmung einfach Klasse! Auch die Rangliste ist sehr interessant! Danke sehr durchdachtes Gerät! Finger weg von diesen billig teilen! Die sind in der Regel Müll!

Works very well, easy to set up and use. Our Pom/ Shitzu mix likes to run and will disappear from time to time. We live in a rural area and GPS works great to find her and tracker her down. App is easy to use and battery has a long life when in home mode. App will alert you when the battery is low. You can set up a Geo fence and the app alerts if the pet exits the safe zone. We tried tokens and the Find My app but it was a disaster. The Tractive gives us peace of mind and keeps her safe. The app has a great health and activity tracker as well. The device will also light up and emit a sound. It was funny as she learned to come home when we activated the sound on the device, so another plus! Even though you have to purchase an additional monthly monitoring plan it is well worth the cost to be able to know where she is.

Perfect

Jag köpte Tractives nya gps och tycker den är helt fantastisk! Skulle min hund springa bort så vet jag precis vart han är, och jag älskar att titta tillbaka på våra promenader med historiken i appen. Jag kan också se hur mycket han sover och hur mycket han skäller när han är ensam hemma. Jag behöver ladda den ungefär en gång i veckan vilket går väldigt fort. Kan inget annat än att rekommendera!
