Smart Dog GPS Tracker

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

The new cat 6 mini has atrocious GPS. When it doesnt get GPS connection (which is most of the time tbh) - live tracking will just keep stationary at the last sent location without actually updating the GPS. So considering that, your tracker might as well be 10 minutes of cat walking away from your p

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

It’s hard to say. I’ve tried quite a few trackers over the years, from well-known brands like Kippy to cheaper Chinese models, and they all seem to have the same trade-offs: they're either too bulky, unreliable, or expensive. Each one has its shortcomings, but so far Tractive has been the one that h

I have a very clingy Velcro dog who i cannot imagine running off, but I got a Tractive Smart dog GPS tracker to try it out for hiking as a safety backup feature because I want her to have the freedom to roam in areas where being only a short distance apart means losing visual contact because of tree

We've had the cat 6 mini for a couple of weeks now and top be honest you're better of with the old one anyways. The new one fits better - yes. But it's GPS seems so atrocious that it just doesn't automatically update the location half the time for and hour or more and the Live tracking does not work

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

This is why I love the sound option on the Tractive collar. Even though the GPS isn’t super accurate, you can turn on the noise and at night time you can turn on the light too to help pinpoint your buddy. I only wish the noise was louder.
