Tractive Waterproof GPS Dog Tracker: Location, Activity, Unlimited Range (White - Newest Model) Review

We bought this unit expecting to leave home for a vacation somewhere else with our pet in case it runs away. peace of mind. The device works as a GPS and works well I think, but the kicker was the subscription plan. Little did I know that to start tracking on a device you have to buy a plan that Tractive offers for an annual fee. They don't offer the traditional "30-day trial" to see if it fits your lifestyle. You can't use it without a subscription as it literally doesn't track your pet at all

Hoping for the best. After researching trackers I decided to go with them, but I'm not sure I'll continue my work with them. First, the device itself is fine, didn't fall off the collar, but the battery life could be better. In terms of using the app, the navigation is fine, but if you go to live tracking more than half the time it shows a bad connection and fails to do so. , now I live in a big city, there shouldn't be any connection problems. Tracking - actual tracking is pretty fun - my dog…

After losing my dog for 5 days and nights I was looking for a GPS tracker in case it ever happens again. I bought a Garmin unit which was probably good but not for my needs. I wanted something more for trail running with my dog, but it was too bulky for everyday use. Then I bought a fi collar. I'm just saying it was a joke. Not only did my dog's collar fall off while walking, the tracking was useless too. I couldn't even use this service to locate the collar despite having good coverage on my…

DO NOT BUY! This ONLY works with a subscription - I knew that before I bought it. And they say free trial but couldn't get it to work so they paid for a subscription. I tried it for 3 days and the device NEVER got a signal, neither on the dog nor in my hand. I even drove 30 miles across town with the gauge and dash on; When I got home he said there was no story. Of course the cell phone signal is weak here, but I still have 1-2 bars on mostly 4G and I can constantly make and receive calls…

I have three of these for my three dogs. These devices do what they promise, with some caveats. I live in a metropolitan area with good cell phone coverage. However, in some cases, devices simply stop responding to GPS signals, rendering the protection useless. Sometimes a hard reset will fix the problem. But if your dog is lost, you are SOL. In terms of runtime, the battery life for practical use is one day, even without "live” tracking. In standard tracking mode (not real-time) I lose about a

I bought this and followed all the installation instructions which seemed pretty easy. The problems started when I had to subscribe to a monthly plan so the tracker could be activated and tested. Without a plan, it's impossible to verify that the tracker is working. I signed up and off we went. OR NOT. At first the tracker said the battery was low even though I charged it so I charged it again to be sure. Now it's charged but the app doesn't recognize it and keeps saying the battery is at 0%…
