For Safety & Fun

Discover the secret life of your pet

Where do dogs go when they run away?

Dogs who run away are often chasing a scent or following another curiosity. Usually, they'll try to find their way back home again. But sometimes they get lost, stuck, or stolen.

The only way to know for sure where dogs go when they run away is with a GPS dog tracker.

Use Tractive to find out exactly where they are, at any time. Get to know their favorite spots, habits and curiosities, all while keeping them safe.

How far do cats go?

Studies show that cats tend to stay surprisingly close to home; male cats usually stay within about 1500 feet. Female cats tend to have an even smaller territory.

With Tractive, you can see exactly how far your cat roams with the Cat Territory feature. Discover if they go to the park, hangout in the yard, chase birds or visit the neighbors.

Plus, you can use Find Mode to uncover their hiding spots. And you'll get alerted if they roam too far.

What our users say about Tractive

Wet dog with DOG 6 standing in water

Charlie’s owner

Charlie loves the water, and thanks to Tractive, I can let him enjoy it worry-free! It is fully waterproof and stays securely attached to his harness. The GPS is incredibly reliable, so I always know where he is, even when he’s out exploring the shoreline. The real-time tracking gives me total peace of mind.

Happy cat parent Rachel

We've been using Tractive for a month and it's great so far. It's interesting seeing where my cat has been with the Location History.

Light brown dog with XL

Happy XL tracker owner Keira

I can definitely recommend the XL trackers. We charged ours nearly two weeks ago and they still have almost 70% of battery left!

Dog with man on paddleboard

Caspar’s owner

My new tracker has been perfect for outdoor adventures! Whether paddleboarding or hiking, I can track my dog's every move in real time, even on the water. It's super accurate and the battery lasts for ages. Now, I feel confident letting him explore while staying safe.

Fluffy cat in forest

@loraddereminus

The tracker is so lightweight that Minus doesn’t even realise it's there. And for me? No more stressing about him getting lost.

I get so much peace of mind knowing where my gal Clementine is! Plus, it's very durable—the tracker handles daily wear and tear!

Black and white dog with DOG 4

Jasper’s owner

We live on an acreage and also farm. Jasper loves to run around and check things out. As long as we are in a decent service area I love that I can look at the app and see that he is not too far from me before I start calling for him. It’s not too big and bulky.

@maltipootoy.mia with Tractive GPS for Dogs

@maltipootoy.mia

One year we are using Tractive GPS Tracker. It’s very easy to use! Mia doesn’t walk without a leash within the city, but we often go hiking, and it’s a very useful thing! Mia weighs 4.5 kg and the small size of the tracker fits her. You can control not only the location of your per but also monitor their sleeping. Battery charge lasts a long time. We recommend!

It’s very nice to be part of the Tractive family. We spend a lot of time with the dogs in nature. Thanks to Tractive, our live-legged family members can also enjoy their freedom to the fullest.
