GPS or Tag: product guides
Read the full GPS or Tag buying guide.
| Product | Best for | Main strength | Main caveat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tractive CAT Mini GPS Pet Tracker with Safety Collar | Outdoor cats over about 7 lb whose owner will keep a plan running | Comes with a Rogz safety release collar rather than needing one you own | Minimum cat weight is stated as 6.5, 6.6 and 7 lb across the two documents |
| Tractive DOG 6 GPS Pet Tracker (TG6A) | Dogs over 8.8 lb whose owner will keep a cellular plan running | Cellular and GPS, so it reports position without relying on nearby phones | Nothing works without an active paid subscription, since the SIM carries the data |
| Fi Series 3+ GPS Dog Collar and Tracker (FCB3), Size L | Medium and large dogs whose owner will keep a Fi membership running | Fi states up to three months of battery, far longer than most cellular trackers | GPS service stops unless the membership is renewed after the first month |
| Halo Collar 5 GPS Wireless Dog Fence and Tracker | Owners who want an app-drawn boundary and will do the training programme | Fences are stored on the collar, so a boundary holds without WiFi or cellular | GPS and fencing do not work at all without an active Halo membership |
| Tractive DOG 6 XL GPS Pet Tracker (TG6XLC) | Dogs over 44 lb whose owner wants the longest interval between charges | Up to six weeks between charges, three times Tractive's standard dog tracker | Tractive rates it only for dogs above 44.1 lb, so it rules out most breeds |
