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.

We bought Tractive (£40 ish for Hardware and £6 per month Basic Subscription) to keep track of our Female Puppy/Dog who will be having her first Season over next few months, and also as we are taking off lead for Recall Training. Very happy with the results so far. The Unit goes into Battery Saving mode (updates every 5 mins) when at home but it lasts pretty good...about 10% per day.During Walk, press the button on App and it logs the route in real time....just got to remember to END the Walk otherwise it affects the Stats I guess.The safe zone minimum is a little larger than we anticipated so technically the Dog could escape and we wouldn't know for over 5 mins if it stayed with the large safe Zone around the House Area ie roads. A slight downside, but really the Unit was purchased for walk tracking and off lead operations so not really too worried.The Wellness Tracking is at early stages but looks interesting. Not sure about Sleep tracking when Collar is removed on a night.The Units Base Plate fits onto collar okay with a lot of stretching of rubber... a back up plate would've been good in case the rubber snaps. The Unit then clips onto the Plate with four stretchy rubber clips. Charging up on collar so not needed to remove once in place.Very happy so far.

I purchased the latest Tractive 6 for our pup via Amazon UK and it arrived the very next day. So far, so good! The build quality is excellent, battery life is excellent (depletes 6% - 7% daily), the App is easy to navigate and use and most of all, when tracking my dog it's spot on.BE WARNED...You need a subscription to use these trackers (that's one subscription per tracker). I did my homework prior to purchasing mine, so I wasn't disappointed by finding this out after purchasing. I chose a 5-year premium plan which cost at the time of this review £240. Tractive also offer 1 (£96) and 2 (£120) year premium plans.Alongside their subscription plans, Tractive offers a service called Tractive care. My advice is don't waste your money on this (I did). You can only make a claim twice if you have a 2 or 5 year subscription and once if you have a 1-year subscription. I haven't had to make a claim to date, so I can't comment on how well the claims process works, but I feel like I would be better off simply purchasing another tracker from Amazon and then transferring the subscription from the old device over to the new device. It would actually work out cheaper this way if you had a 1-year subscription, and you would get the latest model! Tractive care will only replace like for like.The negatives...1. Support - It's email only and going by the reviews of others, one can expect to wait up to five days for a response.2. Refunds - If you stop using the service for any reason, you will NOT receive a refund for any remaining months of your subscription.Final thoughts...All in all, I'm happy with my purchase. So much so, I just purchased a second tracker to put on our 10-year-old pooch.

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.

Literally just put this on my dog today and he ran off chasing a deer while we were playing frisbee. I'd never used the app before but it was very intuitive. The real-time function is excellent and it was reassuring to be able to see where my dog was and predict where he was headed. I managed to track him down within 10 minutes. Perfect.The collar attachment is secure for now, but as it is made from silicone I do wonder if it will last. I feel this should really be attached to the collar via a metal ring or something less flexible. I bought the black one, so it would be less obvious, and he doesn't seem bothered by it (he's a 17.5kg border collie).Overall, I'm very pleased as it took two hours of searching through the woods in the dark to find him last week. It gives me some reassurance to know I'll be able to track him down quickly even his prey drive gets the better of him.
