    GET IT!!!
    Awesome! My pittie got lost in the woods last week and was missing for 14 hours in a dark storm. We finally found her and I bought this tracker immediately after a friend recommended it. I have less anxiety leaving my dog now and have even set up the “virtual fence” around my house so I get alerted if she gets loose or my parents take her out. This thing is literally a life saver! Please don’t make my mistake and wait for something horrible to happen before trying Tractive. Couldn’t recommend more. Be aware that you’ll need a subscription once you purchase this tracker, but it’s beyond worth it. I paid mine upfront and will never look back.

      This is a very good tracker for my small mix dog that weighs 31 lbs. The device fits well on his collar and he doesn't seem to mind wearing it. I am a senior and not real knowledgeable about computers and tech products, but I was able to figure out how to install the app and set everything up using their online directions and the booklet that came with it. I took him for a walk today and it tracked our journey just fine. I opened the Ap on my I Phone and turned on live, and it showed me a map of where my house is, and a red line being drawn that shows where you are walking at that moment. I live in a small town in the California mountains, where sometimes we see and/or hear coyotes, foxes, and an occasional mountain lion and bobcat. At night, sometimes you can hear them. So the threat is real if he were to get out of the yard or lost, and travel up the mountain by himself. This device helps give me peace of mind that if he got out, that it would make it easier to find him in a more timely manner. Happy with my purchase, and just ordered another set for my little Maltese Poodle that weighs 17 lbs. after trying it out.

      This is my second tractive collar, have not opened it up yet because my other one I have is still working very well. Love this collar and its great for gps location but its also nice in that it gives me the approximate heart and respiration rate for my senior dog. I have had various other brands years back that cost two to three times the amount and they had so many technical issues all the time. Oh and there is a monthly sub fee if one wants it, but i choose to do yearly as I only used the monthly sub years ago when I was first trying it out. I love this tractive device for my dog. He is used to wearing a harness and a collar, which I take off in the evening so he doesn't mind a collar. I also use my own dog collar too, I like I can use my own. Very happy with it, and boy do I know the difference. No more technical issues just charge it every day on the dresser and put back on in the morning.

      1-YEAR, NON-REFUNDABLE SUB PURCHASE BEFORE TRACKING CAN BE ACTIVATED.

      Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

      ANOTHER UPDATE: Unlike every other iPhone app that has in-app purchases, Tractive doesn't offer a free trial period. Silly me. I'm so comfortable purchasing from Apple's App Store, I never noticed there's no free trial. In order to connect the app, you give them a credit card #. Fine. Normal. But there's no trial period. Tractive charged $156.00 on day one. When the device turned out to be defective (and the only way to know was to activate the so-called GPS) they're like "HAHA, GOTCHA!!!' I didn't notice the charge on my credit card until a couple of months after I had purchased AND returned AND reported it was utterly useless as a tracker. I disputed the charge. They had the gall to dispute my dispute by saying my credit card was good. They sound like a 5-year-old justifying stealing candy because it was within reach at the checkout lane. They sent the bank a completely irrelevant screenshot of someone's 5-star review (not on Amazon) of a $49 cat collar, saying it was an example of a product description "presented to the cardholder before they completed the transaction. Dig a little and it turns out to be a celebrity endorsement. Had nothing to do with a 12-month subscription that must be paid before the device can be activated. Which is exactly how the App Store works, but the sub can be canceled during a trial period. And of course Amazon has a 30-day return period, even if you don't like the color. But in my case it didn't perform as claimed. Even worse: I went to purchase a Whistle Tracker, which I had several years ago. Great product, great phone service, and month-to-month cellular. Plus their site tracked the dog 24 hours showing the level of activity. (Came in handy when my neighbor accused my dog of barking for hours under his bedroom window, and the Whistle showed she was inside asleep the whole time.) Well, don't buy that either because Tractive has acquired the company. They've no doubt turned it into the same garbage as Tractive.

      UPDATE: TRACKER SHOWING PET IS IN HOME ZONE. IN ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD. SHE IS RIGHT HERE WITH ME. This gadget is worse than useless. I am returning, and purchasing a different brand.

      I am infuriated. They make a product for protecting pets, but this company doesn't seem to care about pets. My dog was rescued from horrific conditions. I adopted her and have been working hard to keep her safe, trained, well-fed, and treated like a family member. She's my companion and protector and I AM HERS! A week ago she figured out how to escape the gate and went on quite an excursion through the neighborhood. I had an Apple AirTag on her collar, from my deceased 16-year-old dog which was enough. But AirTags don't show in the FindMy app unless it's not moving. AirTags also need to ping off other iPhones. This is a young, strong, very active dog. After chasing her for an hour in 90º heat, I got a call from someone whom she had approached. (Putting one's phone number on the collar in big numbers is the best when you have a pet who never met a stranger. I went straight to Amazon and ordered this tracker. It arrived in about a week. I set it up yesterday. Today, she escaped again. I normally don't review until I have a lot of experience with a purchase. I live on a half acre. Apparently that's too small to create a geofence, Maybe there's a way to alter it. But I was out looking for her while the app was telling me she's safe at home. I spotted her in my next door neighbor's heavily wooded yard. Then the next yard and the next. The homeowner was just getting home and got out of the car to pick up her mail. I yelled. She spotted my dog and spoke in a friendly way, causing the dog to come to her. (Luckily she likes both dogs and humans.) However, this is not what I signed up for. There is no way except email to contact this company. Fine for most electronic gadgets, but unacceptable to find a lost pet who is in danger of getting hit by a car. There is no way to draw a geofence that is accurate and useful. Tractive is well-aware their devices are not reliable. They make their money scamming people. I disputed the charge, since I had returned the item. They disputed my dispute. I've disputed their nonsensical dispute. Update to follow. Also filing a complaint with the App Store.

      Amazon Review – Tractive Smart Dog GPS
      Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2026

      Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

      I recently started using the Tractive GPS Dog Tracker for my dog, and overall I’ve been really impressed!

      Setup was quick and easy, and the app is very user-friendly—even if you’re not super tech-savvy. I love being able to track my dog’s location in real time, especially when we’re out and about or at events. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing I can check exactly where she is at any moment.

      One of my favorite features is the virtual fence. I get instant alerts if my dog leaves a designated safe zone, which is a huge plus for safety. The activity tracking is also a nice bonus—it’s fun to see how active my pup is throughout the day.

      Battery life has been pretty solid for me, and the device itself seems durable and lightweight enough that my dog doesn’t mind wearing it.

      The only thing to keep in mind is that it does require a subscription for full functionality, but honestly, for the peace of mind it provides, I think it’s worth it.

      Overall, I would definitely recommend the Tractive GPS tracker to any dog owner—especially if you have an adventurous pup or just want that extra layer of security. 🐶📍

      This tracker does just about everything it claims to do, and does it well. There's at least one big caveat to this, (which I'll deal with in a moment) and several smaller issues you should consider. The fact is that this tracker, like ALL such trackers, is not a perfect solution. It has several shortcomings, but if you're unfortunate enough to lose your dog, it's still way better than no tracker at all.

      1. The tracker is fairly compact, and fits securely on a standard collar.

      CAVEAT: it does add a little weight to your dog's collar, and although the manufacturer claims it can be worn by dogs as small as 8.8 lbs, if your dog is much under 25 lbs you might want to consider attaching it to their harness instead of the collar.

      2. The tracker is well-made, well designed, and looks like it will last a while. It allows you to set up power-saving zones (in your house, for example) in order to conserve the battery's charge.

      CAVEAT: it's a rechargeable device, so like all such devices, its lifespan is defined by the eventual failure of the battery. At that point you'll just have to discard a perfectly good, functional tracker because the battery's not replaceable. Such is the bane of rechargeable devices in a throw-away culture.

      Also, although the manufacturer claims "up to 14 days" between charges, my experience is that it's closer to a week when you have a power-saving zone active, and 4 or 5 days without. The app will notify you when the battery's running low.

      3. The tracker mostly provides an accurate picture of where your dog is.

      CAVEAT: the trace you see on the map is not always dead accurate, but that's not the tracker's fault; due to the vagaries of GPS, it can't be. But it's close enough to enable you to see pretty well where Fido is, and when you set the tracker to record a walk, for example, it's usually very accurate.

      4. The tracker's a breeze to set up, and connects well with WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and cellular signals.

      CAVEAT- AND THIS IS THE BIG ONE: to work effectively, the tracker needs all four systems available. If you're in an area with no cell coverage, you can't track your dog. In fact, you won't even be able to check their health metrics without a cell signal.

      We bought two of these units for our dogs because we were taking them with us into the wild blue yonder of Canada. Well, not exactly the wilderness per se, but a fairly isolated house in the woods. We had WiFi and GPS, but no cellular coverage. In this scenario, the trackers simply don't work. This can be a big problem, because this is exactly the kind of location in which you want to be able to find your dog. It seems like the tracker should be able to locate and track your dog with just the GPS signal and WiFi (for your phone) but no.

      So the bottom line is this: if you spend most of your time in your neighborhood or traveling in towns and cities, this is an excellent tracker. But venture anywhere without cellular coverage, and you're SOL as far as locating your dog is concerned. The 'radar' function will work, but that just uses your phone's Bluetooth and has a limited range (100ft if you're lucky, 30ft or less if you're not) and isn't particularly helpful as it indicates the proximity of your dog, but not the direction.

      To be clear, this is far better than having no tracker at all, and WAY better than Air Tags, which rely on your dog being close to people with iPhones or other Apple devices. But don't assume that this tracker will work in all situations. As the manufacturer correctly claims, the device is "rugged enough for outdoor adventures." Just be sure that those adventures don't take you too far off the beaten track and out of cellular coverage, because then you're truly in the wilderness.

      Works very well, easy to set up and use. Our Pom/ Shitzu mix likes to run and will disappear from time to time. We live in a rural area and GPS works great to find her and tracker her down. App is easy to use and battery has a long life when in home mode. App will alert you when the battery is low. You can set up a Geo fence and the app alerts if the pet exits the safe zone. We tried tokens and the Find My app but it was a disaster. The Tractive gives us peace of mind and keeps her safe. The app has a great health and activity tracker as well.

      The device will also light up and emit a sound. It was funny as she learned to come home when we activated the sound on the device, so another plus! Even though you have to purchase an additional monthly monitoring plan it is well worth the cost to be able to know where she is.

      Excellent tracking, but takes a bit to notify when the dog leaves the safe zone

      My dog is an eloper. Let’s start there. 😂

      I purchased this Tractive GPS Tracker about six months ago. We live in Mississippi, and while the part of MS we live in is not necessarily rural, I had talked with friends who had been unimpressed with other brands of tracking devices specifically because they did not work well outside of a city setting.

      This tracker has worked well for us more than once! I like that the app lets you track their movements once you get the notification that they have left their safe zone, and I do feel like it’s easy to set up. I like that you can put it on your existing collar (because I put a lot of thought into buying a collar that fits my dog’s personality and I didn’t want to have to jeopardize that or have him wear two collars). The size, design, and fit of the tracker are good. It also tracks a lot of your dog’s vitals, activity, sleep, etc., and that’s cool, but I don’t use it for that purpose. However, if you are interested in that, it is definitely a cool feature.

      My main complaint is that the tracker does take several minutes to alert you when your dog leaves the defined safe zone. This is the only negative factor, but it’s so important that it causes me to remove stars from my rating. Five to seven minutes of your dog being outside of their safe zone without being alerted is way too long, and that’s about how long it has taken to get a notification consistently.

      I have had this collar almost 1 year. I love it!!! Our cabin is in a cellular dead zone, so anything that runs off of cell towers are hit and miss. This collar however never has failed me. It always shows me where my dog is. The battery life is good and recharges quickly. I also like that it has a light on it, so at night I can turn it on and locate my dog easily. My dog is a GSP and has put this collar through water, cattails, thickets, you name it. The collar has held up!!! I did have to get a new holder to attach to her collar, but Tractive gave me credit for the days I had to wait to get the replacement. The collar is light weight and fits on to the collar she wears all the time. Best money I ever spent!!!

      When our dog ran off during a walk, it was one of those moments that makes your heart stop. She had an Apple AirTag on her collar, but once she darted into the thick brush, the AirTag was basically useless without a nearby phone to ping off. That experience made it clear we needed something with real GPS tracking.

      Enter the Tractive Smart GPS Tracker, and honestly, it’s been a game changer. The device gives you live tracking that’s accurate down to a few metres, even in wooded areas. You can follow your dog’s movements in real time through the app, and it updates constantly without the lag we had with other devices.

      The virtual fence feature is another standout. You can set a safe zone around your home or favourite walking area, and the moment your dog crosses that invisible boundary, you get an alert. It’s quick, reliable, and gives huge peace of mind.

      Beyond tracking, the health and activity reports are surprisingly useful. It logs your dog’s daily movement, rest, and overall activity level, almost like a fitness tracker for pets. It’s a nice bonus to see patterns that help you understand their habits better.

      The device itself is lightweight, waterproof, and easy to attach to a collar. Battery life is solid, and the subscription plan for GPS service feels worth every cent for the reliability it brings.

      After trying both an AirTag and the Tractive, I can say there’s no comparison. The Tractive Smart GPS Tracker is designed for pets, and it shows in every feature. I 100% recommend it for anyone with a dog who loves to explore—or one that’s just a little too fast when they see a squirrel.

      Als ik op vakantie ga kan ik de tracker absoluut niet missen. Mijn hond gaat graag de bossen in en met de tracker kan ik hem goed in de gaten houden, altijd goede GPS bereik en vooral accuraat. Geweldig apparaat. Ook de service is prima, de mailtjes met vragen worden altijd snel beantwoord en als de tracker problemen geeft wordt deze zo voor een nieuwe omgeruild.

      Comme toujours, je suis à fond Tractive. J'ai 2 chiennes qui portent leur tractive depuis leur arrivée à la maison 6ans et 3ans. La batterie faiblie, mais le traceur est super efficace. L'abonnement n'est pas donné (surtout avec 2 chiens) mais cela me rassure. Ce tractive a été acheté en prévention d'une éventuelle panne. Nous partons à l'étranger et nous ne sommes pas certain qu'il n'y ait pas un bug de mise à jour.

      J'adore le couleur menthe !!!

      I find Tractive the most accurate & secure device for us. The mapping is clear & shows where they’ve been too. We are in a rural zone & it has been the only reliable method we’ve found. It’s good to be able set varying fence zones.
