Priceless Peace Of Mind
I tried to keep my cat indoor-only but like Houdini, he always found a way to go on walkabout. Fitting him with Tractive Cat Mini was a concession toward his happiness and my peace of mind.Location: this has been dead-on accurate and such a huge relief. Recently, I wasn’t able to return home before dark and got a notification kitty was 2 blocks away from our house. I drove right to the address shown in the app, activated the flashing light, called him and bingo, less than a minute later he came right to me and I got him home safe. I have also located him at other areas of the neighborhood during the day and when found he always blinks up at me rather bewildered, like “how did you know where I was?” There have been a number of other times I want to know exactly where he is and this tracker shows me. My only “wish for” is that live tracking is available in the ‘safe’ aka wifi zone. Sometimes I can shut down the program, restart, and have that option, but not always. I know the safe zone is for power saving but sometimes it’s more important to me to know precise location on the property and the wifi/radar tracking is occasionally iffy.Battery: tracking my cat 8-10 times a day for a minute or two each time seems to use about 10% or less per day (kitty is only allowed out during the day). As I learn to trust both tracker and kitty, I’m getting more comfortable not charging the tracker every night, and am satisfied with battery performance. I recently downloaded the program update, so look forward to even more improved location and battery life with the update.Comfort: not gonna lie, even the ‘mini’ takes up quite a bit of furry real estate. But my guy is 20 lbs (ahem, “big-boned”) and seems to wear it comfortably. I purchased the ‘harness clip’ for the Tractive and a dog-sized harness to fit him thinking that would be more comfortable having the tracker weight on his shoulders than having the tracker directly under his chin. Kitty doesn’t like the harness on/off routine so for now we’ll stick with the collar. The collar itself is very good quality and snaps on and off exactly as it should. It is easy to adjust for size and weight of cat (breakaway point). I took the bell off; just something to get in the way and didn’t really produce much sound to warn wildlife.Sound locator: very, very quiet. Hard to hear unless very, very close. The cat will hear it though, and perhaps could be trained that when the song plays it’s time to either come home or start looking for parent to give them a lift.Attachments: I found the best option for us is the flexible rubber encasement that fits onto the collar. It’s easy to remove the tracker to charge and reinstall it. That said, though handling carefully, after 3 weeks of use it has already torn and I’m currently securing it with rubber bands. I’ve ordered replacements, but more robust durability of this item would be most welcome to prevent loss.Subscription plans: I like that I can pay month to month, which has been super helpful during the adjustment period to see if Tractive will be a fit for me before committing to a long-term plan. Tractive is a good fit, so at some point I will consider a longer subscription to lower the monthly cost.App: great app, easy to use, and accurate so far. The out-of-safe-zone and re-enter notifications have worked perfectly. It’s fun to see the other Tractive kitties in the neighborhood and interesting to keep up with my guy’s fitness/sleep stats. But where app really shines is location, location, location. Friends I show this to are amazed and fascinated. A tip if you don’t have the upgraded plan that keeps track of history: screen shot your cat’s location or history map each day to keep a record of their travels. That can be texted to someone helping locate/pick up kitty. Again, the ability to live track in the safe-zone would be a bonus for more peace of mind. Pretty please. :-DValue: with coupons/sales, I was able to purchase the tracker for under $40. I feel the tracker itself is well-made and a good value. I’ve been recommending it to friends and they are enthusiastic.All in all, the Tractive Cat Mini has met and even exceeded expectations on just about every front. My cat is happier, gets more exercise and I am 1000% more relaxed during his absences knowing I can locate him any time I need to. I highly recommend this product for worried pet parents. Please keep working on development to decrease tracker size/weight without losing too much battery capacity, add live tracking to safe area, and beef up rubber encasement attachment. Then it will be absolutely perfect!The big guy and I thank you, Tractive. This was just what we needed!

I’ve been using this pet GPS tracker for a couple of years now, and overall I’m very happy with it. Setup was fairly easy, and once it was up and running the perimeter and notification settings gave me real peace of mind. The mapping is accurate, and I also like the health tracking features—activity minutes, sleep info, and the weekly reports are a great bonus for keeping an eye on my cat’s overall wellbeing.The battery life is decent; it lasts quite a while as long as you’re not actively tracking your pet in real time all day. After two years, the silicone battery holder did rip, but I found affordable replacements on Amazon, so it wasn’t a big deal. The collar and device are a comfortable weight for my 7 kg cat—he wears it without issue and still manages to catch rodents while sporting it!I recommend this tracker to friends who want extra security and insight into their pet’s health and activity. It’s been reliable and useful, with only minor wear-and-tear issues over time.

Works extremely well, even in densely wooded areas. The only time I lost a signal was when my cat had crawled under the shed and lost his collar. Located it using Bluetooth, however ‘alarm’ sound was too faint to be useful. Overall though a great product and my cat has not been slightly worried about wearing it. We pair it with a ‘bird safe’ collar for extra visibility. Would be great to have somewhere to write a pet name/phone number on the band.

Es compacto, marca bien el GPS y es fácil de entender, tengan en cuenta la suscripción aún a la aplicación pero vale la pena.Lo único que no me.gusta es que la.bateria no dura lo que menciona
