Tractive Smart Dog GPS Tracker | Live Pet Tracker with Virtual Fence | Vital Signs Monitoring of Heart & Respiratory Rate | Bark Monitoring | Dog Collar Attachment (Brown)

The Tractive Smart Dog GPS Tracker has been an absolute game‑changer for me. It’s incredibly easy to use, super reliable, and honestly gives me a level of peace of mind I didn’t know I needed. Knowing exactly where my Maggie — my sweet Aussiedoodle who loves to explore — is at any moment has taken away so much worry. The real‑time tracking is fast and accurate, the app is simple to navigate, and the alerts are instant. Whether Maggie is napping in the yard or sneaking off on one of her little adventures, I can check on her with just a tap. It feels like having an extra layer of protection wrapped around her. If you love your dog like family and want that constant reassurance that they’re safe, this tracker is worth every bit. It’s honestly one of the best pet purchases I’ve ever made.

Recommended to a friend! I absolutely love this product. The charge lasts about 2 weeks, easy to use and light weight. It doesn’t feel heavy or uncomfortable for my dog. Also my dog is loves to swim and so far it’s worked even being in water. Also it is a good price!! Amazing product. Helps me keep track of my fur baby! Don’t even have to worry.

After switching from a more expensive competitor, we’ve been using Tractive for over a month now and it’s been a noticeably better experience. The tracking is accurate and consistent, even outside Wi-Fi range. The app is intuitive, doesn’t drain your phone battery, and includes thoughtful features without being pushy. Social elements like location sharing and activity tracking are fun, but not intrusive. Most importantly, it does what it promises: keeps tabs on your dog reliably and in real time. Battery life is solid, and the hardware is somewhat more clunky than the main competitor yet easy to attach. It’s also much more affordable than other options we tried, both up front and over time. Customer service hasn’t been needed often, but when we’ve reached out, it’s been straightforward and responsive, no hidden fees, no games. If you’re looking for a GPS dog tracker that just works, Tractive’s been the clear winner for us.

I have had this collar almost 1 year. I love it!!! Our cabin is in a cellular dead zone, so anything that runs off of cell towers are hit and miss. This collar however never has failed me. It always shows me where my dog is. The battery life is good and recharges quickly. I also like that it has a light on it, so at night I can turn it on and locate my dog easily. My dog is a GSP and has put this collar through water, cattails, thickets, you name it. The collar has held up!!! I did have to get a new holder to attach to her collar, but Tractive gave me credit for the days I had to wait to get the replacement. The collar is light weight and fits on to the collar she wears all the time. Best money I ever spent!!!

ANOTHER UPDATE: Unlike every other iPhone app that has in-app purchases, Tractive doesn't offer a free trial period. Silly me. I'm so comfortable purchasing from Apple's App Store, I never noticed there's no free trial. In order to connect the app, you give them a credit card #. Fine. Normal. But there's no trial period. Tractive charged $156.00 on day one. When the device turned out to be defective (and the only way to know was to activate the so-called GPS) they're like "HAHA, GOTCHA!!!' I didn't notice the charge on my credit card until a couple of months after I had purchased AND returned AND reported it was utterly useless as a tracker. I disputed the charge. They had the gall to dispute my dispute by saying my credit card was good. They sound like a 5-year-old justifying stealing candy because it was within reach at the checkout lane. They sent the bank a completely irrelevant screenshot of someone's 5-star review (not on Amazon) of a $49 cat collar, saying it was an example of a product description "presented to the cardholder before they completed the transaction. Dig a little and it turns out to be a celebrity endorsement. Had nothing to do with a 12-month subscription that must be paid before the device can be activated. Which is exactly how the App Store works, but the sub can be canceled during a trial period. And of course Amazon has a 30-day return period, even if you don't like the color. But in my case it didn't perform as claimed. Even worse: I went to purchase a Whistle Tracker, which I had several years ago. Great product, great phone service, and month-to-month cellular. Plus their site tracked the dog 24 hours showing the level of activity. (Came in handy when my neighbor accused my dog of barking for hours under his bedroom window, and the Whistle showed she was inside asleep the whole time.) Well, don't buy that either because Tractive has acquired the company. They've no doubt turned it into the same garbage as Tractive. UPDATE: TRACKER SHOWING PET IS IN HOME ZONE. IN ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD. SHE IS RIGHT HERE WITH ME. This gadget is worse than useless. I am returning, and purchasing a different brand. I am infuriated. They make a product for protecting pets, but this company doesn't seem to care about pets. My dog was rescued from horrific conditions. I adopted her and have been working hard to keep her safe, trained, well-fed, and treated like a family member. She's my companion and protector and I AM HERS! A week ago she figured out how to escape the gate and went on quite an excursion through the neighborhood. I had an Apple AirTag on her collar, from my deceased 16-year-old dog which was enough. But AirTags don't show in the FindMy app unless it's not moving. AirTags also need to ping off other iPhones. This is a young, strong, very active dog. After chasing her for an hour in 90º heat, I got a call from someone whom she had approached. (Putting one's phone number on the collar in big numbers is the best when you have a pet who never met a stranger. I went straight to Amazon and ordered this tracker. It arrived in about a week. I set it up yesterday. Today, she escaped again. I normally don't review until I have a lot of experience with a purchase. I live on a half acre. Apparently that's too small to create a geofence, Maybe there's a way to alter it. But I was out looking for her while the app was telling me she's safe at home. I spotted her in my next door neighbor's heavily wooded yard. Then the next yard and the next. The homeowner was just getting home and got out of the car to pick up her mail. I yelled. She spotted my dog and spoke in a friendly way, causing the dog to come to her. (Luckily she likes both dogs and humans.) However, this is not what I signed up for. There is no way except email to contact this company. Fine for most electronic gadgets, but unacceptable to find a lost pet who is in danger of getting hit by a car. There is no way to draw a geofence that is accurate and useful. Tractive is well-aware their devices are not reliable. They make their money scamming people. I disputed the charge, since I had returned the item. They disputed my dispute. I've disputed their nonsensical dispute. Update to follow. Also filing a complaint with the App Store.

This product is completely useless in my backyard - watch my video! FIRST, i purchased this with the 6 month subscription INCLUDED. Despite this, the app will not register your device UNLESS YOU PROVIDE YOUR CREDIT CARD. SECOND, it absolutely does not work on my 2 acre yard. It says the dig is next to me, when the dog is about 300-400 feet away, in the neighbors yard, outside the "safety zone". No alerts, no updates. This morning I got an alert that the dog left the safe area....as she is laying on my bed next to me. This is totally comical. Aaaand again later...I am sitting outside at a restaurant, apps shows the dog next to me...she was two blocks around the corner. This tracker might be useful if you dog is gone, it MIGHT help you locate the dog. But live tracking is a NO for me!

I purchased my Tractive device about a year ago. My dog is a LAb/Pyrenese mix that loves to roam. We live in a rural mountain area without fences, so knowing where he is in real time became very important. I've been very happy with the device, and I have peace of mind knowing when he's off property and when I need to track him down. Thankfully, not every day As long as you have cell service, it works, that's the only negative.

Really loving the map, the tracking, very cool. Wish I'd had this 25 years & one escape artist labrador ago. Note: I did have trouble getting the 6 month subscription to show up. No activation code and no option not to buy the 1 year subscription so putting in this review to address that. No, you do not need to buy a 1 year subscription. If you don't see the "activate 6 months" option, let customer service know. They fixed it for me within hours and now all is well. Also, it had an extend 6 more months for $10 option (which I took), which should also be a price consideration (tracker+12 month subscription for $89). I was trying to decide between Fi and Tractive, and decided to go with this because when you are looking for your dog, 1 minute updates are not enough to catch them imo -- it has to be seconds. Also think this one will be more durable for rough housing. Really like the map they have. I took the advice in these reviews and put a couple of zip ties on it just in case. Only had it 24 hours but really like it so far after initial set up issue.

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.

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.

Als ik op vakantie ga kan ik de tracker absoluut niet missen. Mijn hond gaat graag de bossen in en met de tracker kan ik hem goed in de gaten houden, altijd goede GPS bereik en vooral accuraat. Geweldig apparaat. Ook de service is prima, de mailtjes met vragen worden altijd snel beantwoord en als de tracker problemen geeft wordt deze zo voor een nieuwe omgeruild.

Comme toujours, je suis à fond Tractive. J'ai 2 chiennes qui portent leur tractive depuis leur arrivée à la maison 6ans et 3ans. La batterie faiblie, mais le traceur est super efficace. L'abonnement n'est pas donné (surtout avec 2 chiens) mais cela me rassure. Ce tractive a été acheté en prévention d'une éventuelle panne. Nous partons à l'étranger et nous ne sommes pas certain qu'il n'y ait pas un bug de mise à jour. J'adore le couleur menthe !!!
