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!

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.

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, but maybe 20% of the time it takes forever to connect and sometimes times out. Almost like it's stuck in sleep mode, which would also explain the delayed push notifications. But when online 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.

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.

I recently purchased the Tractive GPS Dog Tracker for my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The real-time tracking feature is accurate and gives me peace of mind knowing I can always see where my dog is, even when he’s off-leash. One of my favorite features is the virtual fence, which allows me to set up a designated safe area. If my dog ever leaves this zone, I get an instant notification, ensuring I can act quickly to bring him back. The battery life is another standout feature. Depending on usage, it can last up to seven days, which is perfect for minimizing the hassle of frequent recharging. The tracker is lightweight, durable, and waterproof, so I don’t have to worry about it during outdoor adventures or in bad weather. Overall, the Tractive GPS Dog Tracker has exceeded my expectations with its reliability, ease of use, and thoughtful features. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable way to keep their pet safe and secure.

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!
