Pet parents are powered by Tractive
However, concerned dog and cat parents can breathe a sigh of relief: The Austrian company Tractive, world market leader in the field of GPS tracking for pets, has agreed to provide all Petpointer customers with a free replacement device upon taking out a subscription. Customers can choose from a variety of models that are best suited to the size of their pet.
Michael Hurnaus, CEO of Tractive, said of Petpointer’s insolvency: “It’s a shame to lose a competitor in an enormously growing market. But it’s important to us to give pet parents peace of mind, which is why we’ve opted for the free exchange program.
