Dr Emma Scales-Theobald
Veterinarian
“Dogs are experts at hiding their symptoms until they become severe, so early treatment is key. That’s why I recommend a Tractive tracker—it alerts you to changes in your dog's health or sleep, acting as an early warning system so you can get them to the vet sooner.”
Dr Dwight Alleyne
Veterinarian
“Pets are great at hiding pain, so it’s not always easy to know if your four-legged friend is unwell. By knowing which signs to look out for, such as changes in their activity or sleep, pet owners can catch issues early on and talk to their vet.”
Germany's most popular dog trainer
“I wholeheartedly recommend Tractive to every dog parent who values their pet's health and safety. For me, it's the clear number 1 in GPS tracking for dogs.”
Award-winning broadcaster & adventurer
“I think the best feature is when you lose eye contact with the dog, to be able to take a quick glimpse at your phone and work out exactly where your dogs are when you lose sight of them.”
TV presenter & animal welfare advocate
“Tractive is so much more than just a GPS: it’s my everyday ally. Umy, Minimi and Grisette can enjoy their freedom safely, and I have peace of mind. It’s become essential—I couldn’t do without it!”
Comedian & animal welfare advocate
“Caring for those you love also means knowing where they are. Tractive gives me that peace of mind every day.”
TV host & advocate for pet welfare
“I only recommend what I truly believe in. That’s why I trust Tractive: a reliable product that helps protect our four-legged friends.”
TV icons & pet welfare advocates
“It’s so important that our animals have the opportunity to feel freedom in a safe environment. With Tractive, we have that extra sense of security by knowing where they are.”

The Tractive GPS tracker determines its location using GPS satellites and reports it via cellular networks (LTE). That's why it has an integrated SIM card that automatically connects to local cell networks. Unlike AirTag or other Bluetooth tracking devices, the Tractive GPS tracker can locate your pet worldwide, as long as there's sufficient cellular coverage.
AirTags need to be close to other Apple devices to track objects. If your pet is not within range of an Apple device, an AirTag won’t be able to find them. Tractive uses GPS and LTE technology to provide accurate live location data in all countries where Tractive works.
Battery life strongly depends on tracker model, coverage, and usage. Setting up Power Saving Zones will give it a significant boost.
The CAT 6 Mini can be used for up to 7 days without a charge. The DOG 6 tracker can last up to 2 weeks. The DOG 6 XL and XL Adventure will track your buddy for up to 6 weeks and 4 weeks, respectively.
Unlimited. In fact, you could track your pet even if you're on the other side of the world. Tractive works in 175+ countries where there is 2G and/or LTE (CatM1) cellular coverage from one of our 500+ partners.
Tractive trackers have a built-in SIM card - like your phone - that uses mobile networks to send you location info. All the fees needed to do that are covered by your subscription. That way, you get to enjoy unlimited range worldwide. You can cancel your subscription at any time. More information about subscription plans
After ordering your tracker online, all you need to do is download the app for Android or iOS and pick a subscription plan that fits you best.
Once your tracker arrives, you can either attach it to your pet’s collar or harness with the included clips (dog trackers) or use the collar-integrated Smart Cat Collar (CAT 6 Mini).
After activating the device in the app, you can start tracking your buddy to help keep them safe and well around the clock.
No, Tractive monitors your pet's behaviors and vital signs and if they change from day to day. We alert you to any changes or longer-term trends that might need your attention, but medical advice and diagnosis should always be sought from a veterinarian.
