Tractive GPS for Dogs and Cats

Waste of money, doesn’t let you track your pet whenever you want and it changes your safe zones without asking. I set up a zone around my house and the next time I open the app it’s an entirely different area that includes a busy main road. I spent £14 a month just to not be given the option to track my cat because the “safe zone” feature is broken and changes on its own accord.

On my 3rd or 4th tracker, they don’t last and don’t hold connectivity . I pay £162 a year subscription, latest one has lasted 4 months. Will not be using again

Just upgraded to the latest Tractive. The previous model was good, this latest is exceptional. In addition, the software to migrate devices is so easy. Great app, exceeds expectations!

I moved house with my kitty and the peace of mind it gives me is worth every penny.

Both cats' trackers saying they are home - one stuck at 6am, one at 12pm. It's 1:30pm and both are out. Come on Tractive - 'upgrade' bugs. Stop pushing the 'upgrade membership' when the basics don't work.

Been using for almost 1yr now. Latest update broke the app, again, but a quick uninstall/reinstall sorts it, but I shouldn’t be having to do this at all. So much better than PitPat (for me) as their coverage in my area sucked. Live tracking can be a few seconds behind and is a bit disconcerting when it shows your dog outside your fenced garden/field but that’s down to gps in general, but it could be a bit more accurate.

Such a great peace of mind provider in case the dog ever gets out or anything like that. Also all the data on activity targets and sleep is amazing and really helps manage his energy needs. 100% recommend to any dog owner

A great product, in principle, but flawed: When tracking a wayward dog in open country, an update every 5-15 minutes means gaps of half a mile or more between identified locations; Power usage can deplete the battery very rapidly (from 25% to empty in less than 45 minutes) before locating the dog; The “rubber band” holding the tracker in place will fail sooner or later, dropping the tracker. At least you can use the tracking facility to find a static target; The lugs to secure the rubber band will break when large dogs play together; My tracker failed (will not charge) after 12 months. My suspicion is the amount of water immersion and impact sustained on the collar of a young, large, very active Labrador living in a rural location is more than the device can tolerate. In my experience, sooner or later (probably sooner) this device will let you down.

Amazing, always tell friends about this tracker!!

I’ve been using Tractive XL with my inquisitive, adventurous staffy x whippet for a couple of weeks now. The battery is down to 68% (although I have charged it briefly a couple of times while the generator has been on, putting in 10 - 15% each time.). I generally live track my dog for 15 to 20 minutes a day, and it has provided great peace of mind. It took two tries to teach her to recall when the tracker makes a sound, and this is where I believe there is room for improvement. I have virtual fences set up in the rural area where we live, and also red No-Go Zones. It would be wonderful if the tracker made a noise when my dog approached a No-Go Zone, to warn her that she’s going out of bounds and recall her home. It’s great as it is because I can recall her when I notice her reaching the limits of her virtual fence, but the option to have the sound go off automatically on the off chance that I’m distracted at the moment would be an extra safety feature. Please consider whether this would be possible in a future update. It really would make your product perfect in my eyes. Battery life is great; Lil tolerates the weight of the XL version without complaint (and believe me, she’d say so if she wasn’t happy with it - I’ve never met such an opinionated dog! I’m not convinced by the rubber clip that holds the tracker to her collar, so I’ve ordered a silicone case that looks like it will be more secure. Apart from that, it’s a great product. Well done!
