Set an Activity Goal for your dog or cat and see if they hit (or miss) their target. Discover if they're extra active, just right, or need your help getting in shape.
Not sure how active your pet should be? Tractive suggests an Activity Goal to get you started, based on the data of thousands of pets like yours.
With Wellness Score, see how your pet’s doing today compared to their usual, based on activity and sleep levels. In the Activity Summary, discover how active they are compared to pets of a similar size, age and breed.
Vets have long known that changes in sleep or activity levels can be a sign of illness in pets.
Tractive helps you notice if your pet's been more or less active than usual, so you can stay on top of your furry friend's health (and see if a vet is needed).
“Tractive is a lifesaver—I never have to worry about where my dog is. The ability to make sure he meets his activity goal is a bonus—a tired dog is a happy dog mom!”

Track every step
Cat and dog activity trackers help you keep your furry friend healthy, happy and safe.
What is a dog activity tracker?
Dog activity trackers, as the name implies, help you track your dog's activity level.
They let you keep an eye on your dog's physical activity, so you can make sure they're getting enough exercise. Plus, you can monitor your dog's sleep and overall wellbeing.
Tractive GPS is a dog activity tracker that also helps you track and find your dog in real-time. So you can always make sure they're safe.
A staggering 60% of US pets are overweight.1Is yours one of them? And studies show that a lot of people aren’t walking their dog at all, or not enough.
For pets to stay healthy and happy, daily exercise is essential. But they can't do it without your help.
With a little motivation and the right tools, you can keep your pet fit—and enjoy a better, longer life together.
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.

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.
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!
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.

The Tractive XL makes us feel safe on all of our adventures around the world.
@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.
Thea and Clementine
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!
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.

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.
Every dog is different, and how much exercise they need depends on factors like breed, age and overall health. Dogs need anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours of physical activity daily. Check out our guide on how much exercise a dog needs for a breakdown of dog exercise requirements by dog type.
How much exercise does a cat need?
Cats may seem happy to sleep most of the time. But getting enough daily exercise is crucial for a feline's wellbeing. Naturally, outdoor cats tend to get more activity than indoor cats. Experts recommend that all cats should get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day.
What happens if my pet doesn’t get enough exercise?
Pets who don’t get enough exercise may suffer from obesity, weight-related health issues, decreased mobility and a poorer quality of life. Inactive pets may also become withdrawn, depressed, aggressive, or hyperactive. Or they may develop unwanted behaviors, such as barking, whining, and chewing or scratching.
What do I need to start tracking my pet’s activity?
All you need is a pet and a Tractive Dog or Cat Tracker. Purchase your new dog or cat tracker in the Tractive online shop or another online retailer, choose your subscription plan, and download the app on your smartphone to get started.
How does Tractive Activity Tracking work?
Sign into the app and fill out your Pet Profile with information like your pet’s weight, breed, and birthdate. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the tracker’s turned on. Attach the tracker to your dog or cat’s collar and voilà—let the pet tracking magic begin!
How is pet activity data calculated?
Activity data is calculated using a built-in accelerometer that measures your pet’s movements. Then, algorithms analyze the data and convert it into easy-to-understand Activity stats.
What makes Tractive the best dog and cat activity tracker?
Tractive is more than just a pet activity tracker. Besides Activity, Sleep, and Wellness, it's loaded with tons of other pawsome features, from LIVE Tracking to Virtual Fence.
