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

Very impressed. Does everything and more, quick and easy to use and my dog isn’t bothered by it at all. Very helpful anxiety/stress monitoring for when your pet is alone at home. In fact lots of useful information as well as the tracking. Good value for money.

This is a brilliant device and can recommend it without reservation as long as GPS reception in the working area is good. Easy to set up, the app is easy to use, the mapping is amazingly accurate and the live tracking is unbelievably impressive in terms of where the dog is at any time. It secures easily to a standard collar and does not seem to bother the dog at all. Yes, the cost of the GPS is quite high but in terms of the peace of mind it gives it is surely worth it. It is amazing how many miles my Flatcoated Retriever can travel out of visual contact….this reveals it all.

An innovative gps tracker. It performs the basic tracking duties admirably and at least as well as the competition with very good accuracy mostly within 3m of true position. (our previous make would often switch from gps to trilateration of mobile signals or wifi networks and give false readings that were miles out. We are now abandoning it for Tractive). It has many ways to optimise power saving whenever possible resulting in not having to charge it daily, and neither do you need to manually switch it off to save battery with the possibility of it being OFF just when its needed. For instance it varies its gps locating and reporting rate depending on movement of the tracker (ie pet dog). Slowing down when the dog is inactive. You can also define a power saving zone by means of nominating your house wifi zone (or office etc) which quickly puts the tracker into power saving mode until it moves out of the coverage zone. Plus if your phone is close by it uses Bluetooth LowEnergy rather than cellular for communication. Cellular communication uses modern 4G LTE and can fallback to 2G GSM if coverage lacking. As soon as your dog moves more actively the locating and reporting rate auto increases. If you've lost your dog simply tap the Live option on the app for position updates every couple of seconds. Fast and accurate map view of your dogs location, but uses up the tracker battery so will auto turn LiveMode off every 5min (customisable) after prompts to see if you want to continue. Like others it has safe zones you can set and be notified on your phone if the dog (tracker) leaves the zone. Even better these are drawn on the map as polygons so I can accurately map my garden as a safe zone, and set multiple other zones if needed (workplace?). Most trackers only implement circular safe zones so nowhere near as accurate or useful as these polygons where I accurately map the fences around my garden with straight lines on the map. Has remote activation of both a flashing light (useful at night) plus a NOT particularly loud beeper (about as loud as an Apple AitTag). Presumably to help location when very close to. However our dog soon learned that if he ran back when the beeping on his collar went off he got a reward (treat and hug). So now most useful and especially at night as alternatives to a whistle or shout. It also helps with fitness tracking by giving time and distance of walks and playback of past records of tracking on the map also with time and distance displayed. There are more fitness features but I have not explored these yet. Finally I did find a minor display switch problem with the maps on my iPhone but after explaining and reporting it (with screen capture video) online, once it was escalated to the development team it was fixed at the next minor app release just a few days later. A rather long review but I am impressed with its capabilities and in no way connected nor provided with product by the company.

The tracker works but I would seriously avoid. Customer care is non existent. Seems to be bots only. I paid extra for 'Tractive Care'. Useless. When my tracker's securing straps broke and the tracker was lost, they wanted nothing to do with it. Quoted 'wear and tear'. It's been on a dog's collar for over a year. Wear and tear is all the 'Tractive Care' should be covering. Do NOT PAY FOR ANY EXTRAS. They are designed to exploit customers who love their pets. There must be better and kinder options out there.

Got this after searching for what seemed forever for a tracker - got this one based on market share. First impressions are that it's light and clips onto the harness well and doesn't appear it will come off easily. Signed up for a 2 year subscription as it worked out relatively cheap. The app is good and informative and I like that you can use different styles of map. The power save function at home is great, and keeps the battery at a good level. Have had it for around 5 months and I've noticed that the "waking up" once leaving the safe zone at home takes some time. I often get a push notification that the dog has left the safe zone around 30 minutes after she has. Live tracking works well most of the time, but maybe 10-200% of the time it takes forever to connect and sometimes times out without connecting at all, even right next to a phone mast! It's almost like it's stuck in a deep sleep mode, which would also explain the delayed push notifications. But when it's online, which is it more than not, it works really well, we track walks accurately. This is my first tracker so cannot compare to others, but this one seems to work well and does what I need it to do. When tracking my dog on Live, it can say that they are 10m in the opposite direction, which worries me if she did run off - it would say she is to the left of me, when in fact she is to the right, so the 'close up' accuracy seems to be a little off, but in these circumstances it will (hopefully) take you the right right radius!

Excellent tracker!! Had previously used a non subscription one which was not as great. The accuracy had been fantastic and we can now track our dog walks. Love this and very happy with the price of the 2 year subscription

Great to have peace of mind that you can find your dog if he or she wanders off. I had a different tracker before but much prefer the tractive one I have now. The battery lasts much longer, and it's very easy to use. I wouldn't be without it. You can also use it to monitor your dogs health. The company is very helpful if you have any queries. Highly recommend this product.

Certain postcode cant get monthly subscription so u need to pay the 160 plus for the year

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!

Super działa. Jest abonament. Aplikacja uczy się do psiaka. Śledzenie live działa. Urządzenie działa w sieci SIM. Można zdalnie włączyć światełko i melodie na urządzeniu. Dobrze kupic razem z etui.

Hacía tiempo que estaba investigando este producto, porque solemos hacer escapadas por el campo, la playa e incluso la nieve y buscaba algo que me diera la tranquilidad de tener a mi perro bien localizado en todo momento. Las primeras impresiones han sido realmente buenas. Desde el packaging, el diseño y los materiales del dispositivo en sí, las instrucciones, y la propia aplicación que es super user friendly y funciona muy bien. Se coloca muy fácil y de forma muy segura por la calidad de las gomas. No se mueve ni se suelta nada. Pero además el GPS de Tractive tiene muchas otras funcionalidades que me han alucinado y que cuanto más lo utilizo, más me gusta. Puedes configurar zonas seguras, como "casa", poner alertas si tu perro sale de un perímetro que hayas establecido, historial de ubicaciones, seguimiento en tiempo real, controla y monitoriza los niveles de actividad y de la salud del perro... es una maravilla. Me ha sorprendido mucho lo preciso que es en todo lo que ofrece. La función de rastreo en vivo es una maravilla también y la he probado cada vez que salimos de excursión. He podido seguir desde mi móvil a mi perro cuando corre por el campo, o se aleja más de la cuenta, y como encima es resistente al agua lo he usado tranquilamente incluso con lluvia. En definitiva, mi opinion del gps de Tractive es que es mucho más que cualquier rastreador y me parece una herramienta integral que funciona estupendamente. Así que lo recomiendo sin duda y espero darle mucha tralla. La verdad que ha cambiado totalmente nuestros paseos y es una herramienta que me da mucha más tranquilidad.

Es bueno, pero no excelente, no es tan preciso.
