Had a bit of a wait for a new Tracker for my elderly cat who loves to wander. I had ordered a few in the past which had been delivered very quickly.
The old tracker battery was on its last legs and I was worried it would totally die before the new Tracker arrived. I contacted customer services and they responded very quickly and the new Tracker arrived very quickly. I now have a happy cat who loves his new style tracker and is currently out on his rounds on a sunny evening. Huge thanks

I’ll be honestFrom Skeptical to Super Fan!

I’ll be honest: at first, I was a bit frustrated. I thought I was just buying the tracker itself and didn’t realize a subscription was required. I actually almost sent it back!

However, I decided to give it a try anyway, and I am so glad I did. I was so impressed with the performance and the peace of mind it gave me that I ended up buying a second one for my other dog, Leo.

Leo is a Labrador and a huge part of our family. Now, I never have to worry if he wanders out of sight; I know exactly where he is at all times. If you're on the fence about the subscription, trust me—the security of knowing your dogs are safe is worth every penny!

Very pleased we chose Tractive it gives peace of mind.

Very pleased we chose Tractive for Jess. We live in the country with little phone connections, especially in the woods that Jess likes to escape into to chase deer and pheasants. With the Tractive we know when she has escaped and where she is. The activity tracking is also very useful to know when she is active and how much she is doing.

This worth every penny!i

This is a great device. It’s a real insight into our pets welfare. I absolutely love the fact we have peace of mind and the added health benefits. So easy to fix to her collar and charges up fast too. I would definitely recommend.

I own my second Tractive for cats—the first one my cat lost. Overall, it’s one of the best things for my peace of mind. However, the location isn’t always easy to track accurately. When we lost the first tracker, we weren’t able to find it.

One thing I would definitely improve is the sound—the beeping during search is so quiet that it can’t really be heard.

That said, I’m generally satisfied. When my cat hears the faint beeping or sees the light, she usually comes back home. It’s nice to know roughly where she is and to be alerted if she goes onto the road.

Past Whistle customer

We started using Tractive after they acquired Whistle. It took a little bit but we adjusted to it. Overall it’s been a good experience. We enjoy the activity reports and have been able to leverage it to help us know when our dog wasn’t feeling like themselves and it told us about them moving around more at night. We strongly recommend using Tractive if you’re looking for a gps activity tracker.

We have a wandering dog who’s been impounded 3 times for being found wandering, costing us over $1000 in fees. This has put a stop to it for now as I get notifications when she’s in outside our yard and in “no zones” my feedback would be them changing the app so that you can customize the alarm sound. I would love to set it so the tractive app notifications are an obnoxiously loud sounds so I know it’s important. Sometimes when it ls just the same sound as all other notifications it gets lost in the background. Not sure if this is an issue with the app or iPhones.

Overall a great app to keep track of your pets everyday lifestyle. Also great if your pet likes to escape for a couple hours of fun, easy to manage & track your pet. Also great customer service staff! I had 2 pets & when I explained I had to put one down after having Tractive for less than 2 months they gave me a refund for all used time in my subscription.

I absolutely love this tracker

I absolutely love this tracker. What’s surprised me most is how much I value the health updates, even more than the tracking itself. My golden retriever is nearly 12 now, and having that extra insight into her wellbeing has been incredibly reassuring.

The GPS tracking is also really accurate and gives me complete peace of mind when she’s out and about. I genuinely didn’t expect to rely on it as much as I do, but it’s become an essential for me!

Reliable

After using gps tracker I’m much more calmer letting my cat out. Sometimes it need longer recharge and when he’s in house it can glitch but not a big issue.
