Tractive GPS Dog Tracker | Real-time Pet Location Tracker | Health & Wellness Alerts | Virtual Fence for Dogs | Dog Collar Attachment (Dark Blue)

**Trigger warning: *animal passing* and extremely looong review**As stated above, this will be **long**, so if this review is TLDR (too long, didn't read), here is what I need you to know: this tracker is amazing, get it, it's WORTH IT in my (((many))) experiences and opinions.I have had a fantastic experience over the last several years, for better (and worse), using Tractive.The trackers will occasionally show that they've left your preset "Safe Zone", which I assume is when they've gone far enough in our yard for a neighbors wifi to pick up the signal (we have a fenced backyard and currently live in a neighborhood). But, each time I check the "Live" location, it updates almost immediately to show their EXACT location, which is typically still within the "Safe Zone" I've set up (the fenced yard). The app will update again upon registering their "Live" location and provide the "back in safe zone" notification. It's also *so* helpful to know the exact distance away (for my app and location, it's in feet) they are from you and your device. We have a mini Dachshund that LOVES to escape and hide in bushes and such. The satellite map imagery is basically Google Earth level, if not exactly. In other words, she is now capable of hiding as well as Godzilla hides behind a dandelion.The new(ish) click-in charging ports are absolutely amazing! The trackers charge quickly and are able to use within an hour or so, and last several days on average! The connectivity and range is mind-blowing! If you have Bluetooth on your cell phone, you're bascially good to go!I trust Tractive with every single pet in our family (I've even tried to work out how to attach one to my horse without leaving a halter on at all times, but he isn't even an escape artist!). The design and sizes are pretty sleek and secure, whether for a small or large dog, cat, etc. The connection and range are fantastic; infinite in my experience. With the trackers connecting to neighboring wifi service, I take comfort in knowing that if they even get CLOSE to the edge of the "Safe Zone", I'll be notified and can immediately go to "Live" and see exactly where they are. Even when our dogs have escaped our yard, I've been able to track them to an exact location, whether it's a bush, hole, ditch, etc. Not to mention, the trackers themselves are so unbelievably durable.Here is where the ****TRIGGER WARNING**** comes in. If animal passing is an issue for you, please stop here.Several years ago, a young feral cat decided I was her human, and I humbly accepted. Trying to adapt her to the life of an indoor cat, but understanding the risks, I put a Tractive tracker on her. Here is where I'm sadly grateful. One morning, I received the notification that she had left the "safe zone", and was immediately concerned. I began tracking her and found that she was approximately one mile away from home. She had snuck out that morning as my partner was packing up for work. I jumped in my car and started driving to the location of her tracker. Fortunately, in my opinion, I found her at the edge of the road. She was gone, and her tracker was (I assume) "ejected" into the field beside her, and being private property, I didn't want to trespass to find it. But, it was still putting out a signal and did until the battery died. As tragic and upsetting as the experience was, I'm still SO GRATEFUL for Tractive in helping me find my girl and get closure. There was no extended worrying or wondering. No hoping that she'd find her way home, with the reality being that she was gone with us not knowing. I was able to locate her immediately and give her the proper and respectable rest she deserved. That is something I will always be thankful for.I recommend this tracking service to any and every pet owner. I manage a dog boarding facility, and I will ALWAYS recommend Tractive to our customers.To Tractive, thank y'all so much for what you have created and what you do for pet parents! The peace of mind is indescribable!

First, I want to explain I rarely write reviews, I’ve never found a product that I was thrilled enough about that I was willing to recommend & take the time to leave a review for, this is the exception.I’ve always wanted a true GPS tracker for my last dog, who we lost a year ago, but the price plus subscription was way more than I could afford, so went the AirTag route, which as most people know, isn’t a reliable option for pets.Our new pup came to us over Father’s Day weekend & I was determined to get one for our new pup, who is a very active breed. Looked around & found a lot of very high priced options, then while watching tv, saw a commercial for Tractive GPS & decided to check them out. The reviews were enough to give it a try along with a very affordable price during Prime days in July.I purchased the two year tracker plan to take advantage of the discounted subscription price. Received it 3 weeks ago & charge it once a week. In 1 weeks time the battery level has never gone below 55% & charging is very fast. App setup was simple, attaching to my 15 week old puppy’s collar was easy & not as bulky as the others I’ve researched. Tracking is very accurate, the additional health tracking is very similar to what you’ve seen if you’ve used a smart watch. Tracks his sleep & activity, can also track & record walks, which I find very helpful, especially since he’s such an active breed, I want to make sure he is getting a lot of exercise. Also has the ability to set up a virtual fence that allows you to set up his normal safe zone & alert you when he leaves it.One of my favorite features is the family invite, which allows you to invite a family member or friend to track him. You enter in their information with their email, they are sent an invite with a link to the app, & they can track your dog through the app to. My adult, out of the house son & daughter are able to see his location worldwide & can see his activity, unfortunately, my daughter now yells at me if I haven’t taken him for enough walks during the day!The only con, may only be something I haven’t found how to control through the app, is when we take him somewhere in the car, it gives a warning that he’s out of his safe zone, hopefully I can figure out a way to override this, my kids panic call us when they see him leave the setup virtual fence when we’re on our way to puppy training class, gets a little annoying as we take him everywhere with us.Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable GPS tracker for their fur friend, it’s affordable, accurate, & very durable.
