Tractive vs Bluetooth trackers and Microchips

When it comes to tracking your pet in real-time with reliable coverage, Tractive GPS is the only solution. Bluetooth trackers for belongings can be a great backup locator, but they're not GPS trackers and need a phone nearby to update their location. Pet microchips are not GPS trackers and are only for identifying lost cats or dogs.

I lost track of my dog, turned on LIVE and found her within minutes. She was stuck and couldn't move. Without Tractive, I wouldn't have found her — I think it saved her life!

Looking for answers? You've come to the right place.

According to the American Humane Society, a staggering 10 million cats and dogs are stolen or lost annually in the United States. Pet GPS trackers are the best way to act fast if your best friend goes missing.

With Tractive, you'll get instant Escape Alerts if your buddy runs away or is out of bounds. When you're on the trail, you can turn on LIVE tracking to follow them in real-time and bring them home safely.

Got a cat or dog that likes to roam outside? Thanks to Tractive's long-lasting battery and unlimited range, you can get peace of mind knowing that their tracker will work when you need it most.

Tractive GPS is highly accurate, offering real-time tracking with location precision typically within 5-10 meters, making it reliable for keeping track of your pet’s whereabouts.

This depends on the model of your tracker. For the DOG and CAT Mini models, the battery can last up to 10 days. For the XL and XL Adventure trackers, the battery life is up to 1 month.

You can see the Location History of your pet for the past 24 hours with a BASIC Tractive subscription. Choose PREMIUM and get 365 days of Location History.

Tractive works in 175+ countries where there is 2G and/or LTE (CatM1) cellular coverage from one of our 500+ partners.

With Family Sharing, you can invite others to help keep an eye on your dog. Add trusted friends, family and sitters to your pet's Profile so they can also record walks, turn on LIVE tracking, see your pet's Location History and Wellness info, and much more!

It's the perfect way to keep others in the loop.

Another feature we support is Strava sharing. After recording a walk with your dog, you can share it to sports app Strava and share special moments on your walks to your community.

Do you ever wonder what your cat gets up to on their adventures? Curious to see where your dog likes to hide their bone?

With Location History, you can learn about your pet's routes and where they were exploring. You'll be able to spot places they shouldn't (like a neighbor's yard) or if there's a part of the fence that needs patching if they escaped!

You can also turn on the Heat Map, showing you where your pet lingered the most and where they might like to hide out!

No-Go Zones are customizable virtual boundaries that you can set up in the Tractive app. If your dog enters a No-Go Zone, you’ll receive an instant notification, helping you prevent them from wandering into dangerous or restricted areas.

Danger Reports allow users to mark and share areas where potential threats or hazards have been spotted. This could be a construction site or wildlife. This provides real-time alerts to help you avoid these areas during your walks.

While Danger Reports alert you about general hazards, No-Go Zones are personal boundaries you create to protect your pet in specific areas.
