tractiveSmart Dog Tracker | 2025 Edition | Real-time GPS Tracking | Escape & Health Alerts | Vitals Monitoring | Market Leader (Brown)GreenCircle Certified: Certified Energy Savings

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.

By far the best tracker. Tried others with no subscription and although the trackers seemed fine, the App functionality was awful and didn’t provide the information I wanted. This tracker covers everything. The App is incredibly and so detailed. Tracker itself is very high quality. By far the No.1 pet tracker and well worth the money / subscription.

Really disappointed with this tracker. I’ve kept it off live mode to save battery, but it still dies in a week or less, nowhere near the 14 days the seller promised. The GPS signal is unreliable and often drops out completely. It last updated 3 hours ago, which is pretty useless when you’re relying on it for your pet’s safety. Overall, not something I’d trust or recommend.

Neat, secure, lightweight. I wouldn’t like to be without it now as having had it only a couple of weeks, it has already alerted me to my dog having escaped the garden. I am very pleased with the tracker but the battery needs charging quite frequently, despite being put in ‘low power’ mode. Also, a few scary times when on ‘live’ function, my dog appeared to be outside the garden and along the road. This I think is down to the satellite signal though, not the actual tracker. I haven’t tried the ‘health’ functions as I only need the tracking function. I would rather not keep having the pop-ups suggesting I create a ‘safe boundary’ alert. If I want a function, I will seek it out myself. Also, I turned it on ‘live’ one day, only to be shown where my dog had already been (? - he had been in the house with me ) and the tracker lines covered an area it was not even possible to access. A glitch I am assuming.

Upgraded from older unit. battery life improved, signal seems stronger, love the usb-c charging (old one had proprietary charger plug that held on with magnets)Have used a few tracking systems and I find tractive better than most and the actual units more reliable (never had to replace one due to failure - had 2 pitpat units changed under warranty - which took a while to get to change them - before giving up on them)

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.
