Best Pet GPS Trackers of 2025

"For the past two years, I’ve used this tracker for my two hound dogs. Living near a national forest, they often venture far from home, but the tracker helps me locate them quickly. I can usually find them within a few minutes, and the unit gives me accurate updates when I can get a signal. It’s reassuring to know where they are, especially with potential dangers nearby. I appreciate its durability, and the battery lasts quite a while, even with regular use. This device has proven invaluable during their more adventurous days!"

"I chose this tracker because it has its own SIM card, which is perfect for my remote desert area. After my deaf service dog went missing for five days, I desperately needed a reliable tracking solution. I love how the app provides real-time updates, activity levels, and alerts if she leaves the virtual fence I set up. Although I wish the subscription cost was clearer—it's actually $9 a month—it's worth every penny for the peace of mind it gives me. I can’t imagine letting her wander again without this device!"

"The collar works well for my cat, and I’ve been able to find him after he lost it several times. The app offers a lot of useful information, but I’ve noticed that the GPS signal can sometimes be inconsistent. One downside is the battery life; it doesn’t last more than 48 hours if I check the app frequently. Still, the idea of being able to track my cat gives me great comfort, and I appreciate that Tractive has a system to return lost collars."

"I absolutely love this tracker! I bought it for my 11 lb male cat who tends to wander off into the woods and around the neighborhood. It allows me to track his paths in real time on my phone, making it easy to find him. As someone who works as a design engineer, I can be critical, but I found the Tractive mini tracker to be well-designed. It's lightweight, fits well, and the price is fair. The customer service team was also prompt and gracious in answering my questions."

"I can't say enough about this tracker! After my cat Biscuit didn't come home for two days, I bought it for peace of mind, and I'm so glad I did. The app allows me to set up a 'safe zone' and alerts me immediately if he crosses those boundaries. It's been a lifesaver for calling him back home safely."

"I purchased two trackers for my cats and signed up for the monitoring subscription. The trackers are great and the cats don’t mind wearing them at all. I love that I can track where they go in the neighborhood and how far they wander. The app is user-friendly, and I can even trigger a sound to help locate them. I had a minor issue with one tracker, but the customer service was quick and polite, and they sent a replacement right away. Overall, I’m very satisfied and have peace of mind knowing I can easily find my pets."

"Living in a rural area, Tractive has been a wonderful asset for tracking my rescue dog, Buddy. I can track his exercise mileage and ensure he's getting enough activity. The rechargeable battery lasts a long time, and I highly recommend it!"

"I was thoroughly impressed with my recent purchase of the Tractive Dog Tracker. The real-time tracking feature is amazing, and the app is very user-friendly. It allows me to set virtual boundaries, alerting me if my dog goes beyond them!"

"I purchased the Tractive XL GPS Tracker for my large dog, and it has been a game-changer. The reliable tracking, waterproof design, and unlimited range have given me peace of mind during our outdoor adventures. The battery life is fantastic too!"

"I've been using this system for about a month, and I have no complaints. Our stray cat, Nori, is transitioning to an indoor cat, and this TabCat tracker works remarkably well. It’s small and light, and Nori doesn’t mind wearing it. I can detect his signal from about 300 feet away and even found the collar in my car from 50 feet. There's a bit of a learning curve due to obstacles in the area, but overall, it's an inexpensive and effective device. If only they could combine RF with GPS..."

"I must admit, I was skeptical about this device, but it found my cat in complete darkness from four houses away. The tag is small and the batteries last a long time. It beeps softly when searching, and the handheld sensor is easy to use. I can tell when my cat is nearby based on the lights. After a few weeks, she even comes to me when her collar beeps! While it can be tricky to determine the exact direction initially, it gets easier as I move. This cat finder gives me peace of mind, and I would definitely buy another if I lost it."

"Five months in, and I still love this device! If I misplaced it, I’d purchase another right away. It brings me so much peace of mind when my cat is outside. She has learned to come to me when her tag beeps. Even if there's just one light on the tracker, I know she’s close. It’s incredibly useful just to check if she’s near the house. I learned the hard way that if my dark gray cat is too close, the TabCat won’t detect her. Lessons learned!"

"I found the cat tracker collar to be a game-changer for keeping tabs on my feline friend. It’s lightweight and my cat barely notices it. The tracking system is incredibly accurate, providing me with real-time updates on her location, which gives me peace of mind when she’s outdoors. The setup was straightforward, and the app is user-friendly, making it easy to monitor her movements. I highly recommend this collar for any cat owner wanting a reliable way to keep their pet safe."

"I appreciate the small size of this tracker for my kitty. She doesn’t mind wearing it at all, and it performs quite well. Now, I don’t have to worry about her slipping out and not being able to find her."

"We purchased four of these collars. The first one wouldn’t pair with our iPhones, and while the second did pair, it failed to locate our cat accurately when she was outside. Even when she returned, the app showed conflicting locations. Unfortunately, we lost one collar outside, and we felt these collars weren’t worth the money. The seller was good about refunding three of them, but it was disappointing overall."

"I love this product! It sends me a message when the battery is low and the app is extremely easy to use. I really appreciate how quickly it charges. Although there's a service fee, opting for a long-term plan is much more economical. I hope I never actually need to track my dog, but it’s comforting to have it just in case. I tested it on a car ride, and it's very accurate!"

"Initially, I was impressed with this tracker. It helped me locate my elder dog, though it did cause some anxiety. The compact design and thoughtful packaging remind me of an iPhone. However, the power toggle was difficult to understand, and the app's response time was slower than expected. They could improve the user experience by simplifying some features."

"I had a wonderful experience with customer support after my device had a charging issue. They replaced it for free, which was a huge relief. I would definitely recommend this to other pet owners looking for reliable tracking solutions!"

"I was amazed at how quickly it helped me find my dog when she ran off last night. Works effectively and quickly!"

"I activated it but haven't attached it to my pet yet. Still looking forward to using it!"

"This GPS tracker is fantastic! Very easy to use and worth the investment."

"For the value of the money, this item is extremely reliable. It works on my phone through an app and does live tracking. The app opens at a normal speed and is super lightweight. It simply wraps around my dog's collar, and I love the long battery life—it’s crucial since my dog loves to explore. I highly recommend it for anyone with a dog that tends to wander off!"

"I had been eager to try a pet GPS, and the price made it worth a shot. The app installation was straightforward, and I appreciated that it worked immediately without a subscription. However, I need to take my dog's harness off between walks, which makes it not very useful if she accidentally gets out. Keeping the device charged is also essential to avoid overcharging the battery."

"This dog tracker arrived in a repacked box and was completely dead upon arrival. I had to charge it right away. The app setup revealed there was no trial subscription, which made me hesitant to commit to a fee without knowing if it works. My previous experiences with other trackers had offered trial periods, which makes this one feel a bit risky. The quality seems decent, but I need to see it in action before considering payment."

"I've been using the Pawfit 3 for over a year with my first dog and recently switched to the Pawfit 3 for my new pup. The design remains the same, but the network performance is noticeably improved. The accuracy is spot-on, matching the previous version. Although the battery life is shorter, it still holds about 30% charge after a week, which is manageable, especially considering it's $40 cheaper. Overall, I find it to be an affordable and effective tracker."

"I have two wienerdogs, and this tracker has been a great stress reliever. The software is easy to use and the location accuracy is impressive. We once left one in our camper for several days, and the battery was still over 40% after that time! The collar attachment is very secure, even for dogs that like to burrow."

"I recently had a situation where my Cocker Spaniel got lost while exploring. Thanks to the Pawfit, I was able to track him down. It provided peace of mind and I could see his movements in real-time. The waterproof feature is impressive too; it has survived multiple swims. I’m incredibly grateful for this product and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it."

"After losing my dog for 17 hours, I quickly researched GPS dog collars. I found Fi had great reviews and features that met our needs. I can't recommend this collar enough! The tracking, app information, community, and light feature are all excellent. The battery life is also impressive. Although it's a bit pricey, it's a fantastic value for the money. Our dog fits perfectly in the small size, and she doesn't seem to mind wearing it at all. I hope I never have to rely on its tracking overnight, but if needed, I know it will perform."

"I recently bought the Fi Series 3 Smart Dog Collar for my active pup, and I am absolutely thrilled! The GPS tracking is a game changer for us. I can track my dog's location in real-time using the app, and the geofencing feature alerts me if he wanders outside our safe zone. Plus, the collar monitors his daily activity levels, encouraging us to play and exercise more. The battery life is fantastic, lasting weeks on a single charge, which gives me more time to enjoy our walks. The Fi app is intuitive and user-friendly, providing detailed reports and goals for my dog's activity. Overall, the Fi Series 3 is more than just a collar; it's a comprehensive tool that enhances my dog's safety and health."

"After a friend's dog went missing, I bought this collar right away. The tracking function works well in urban areas, and I'm curious to see how it performs in rural settings. The battery life is incredible; we hardly ever charge it. I appreciate their exchange policy for bigger sizes as my puppy grows. However, while it has a step counter and leaderboards, I find the calculations unfair since different size dogs cover different distances. I also wish I could see my dog's total distance run in a day, as it only counts actual walks. Despite some drawbacks with the activity tracker, the ability to know my dog's location is invaluable."
