Smart Dog GPS Tracker

I tried the Tractive, but it had to be charged almost daily; and having to take it on & off so much was bound to leave them without when it was needed! The AirTag battery, on the other hand, lasts for like 6 months. I know they aren’t the same thing, and that’s why my dogs both have Fi GPS trackers.

Yeah if it has poor GPS signal it eats through battery and gives spurious location. And never trust the blue shaded "accuracy" circle, I don't think tractive engineers understand what it's meant to represent

Tractive pros and cons: Better international coverage if you travel, works just as well in rural and no coverage areas. More affordable monthly subscription, exact prices depends on the plan you pick, cheapest is I think 5 or 6 bucks a month Health monitoring included at base price Updates much fast

I think it would be helpful to research reasonable expectations for a GPS tracker. For example, with Tractive (and many others), your home wifi may be set up as a power-saving zone. Great for battery life and makes sense, because you don't need it pinging all the time when your pet is at home, right

I have 2 dogs and they both have a tractive 6. I’ve attached it on the handle of his collar, as this collar is too wide, but it fits perfectly fine with his normal sized collar. The positives: It’s accurate, the battery lasts about a week with walks, super quick notifications when they leave the bou

Hi u/DisastrousTwo4163, Thanks so much for sharing your concerns and feedback. It's true that Tractive was acquired by Bending Spoons. This happened in late May, so the new management only stepped in a couple of months ago. 😊 In our case, new management doesn't mean a change in our dedication to Tra

It is a bit strange. The thing is, I've built my own network based on small Tile trackers and custom built hot spots that are placed around the property and indoors. They have around 3 years of battery life but it's not GPS. If the cats leave the property I don't know where they are. So my wife want

You can’t manually ping the GPS (except by turning Live mode on and off again) or set your own interval. You can extend battery life by allowing the tracker to pause GPS updates when it’s is in range of your home wifi. See https://help.tractive.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019061079-Power-Saving-Zone-Ho

I’ve been using Tractive trackers for years and, honestly, my experience with the CAT Mini 6 has been disappointing enough that I’ll be switching back to my older trackers.The first issue was the collar sizing. Tractive advertises the CAT Mini 6 as being suitable for larger cats, but the supplied co
