GPS trackers for dogs and pets

Kin One on a collar: cellular location for animals that will never carry a phone, with the same $0/month data as the rest of the house.

• How to choose the best GPS tracker for dogs

  Best-of lists here usually rank pet-subscription collars we do not make. This page is the fork: radio class, then the criteria for a family pin.

• GPS tracker collars for cats

  Cat collars have a safety feature that works directly against trackers. This page is that trade-off, honestly.

• GPS tracker collars for dogs

  The collar question, not the device question. How these things attach, what survives a river, and what happens when the collar comes off.

• GPS trackers for cats

  Indoor cats still slip a door. A chip tells the shelter who they are. GPS tells you where the collar is now. You usually want both.

• GPS trackers for dogs and pets

  The same Kin One that clips to a child’s bag sits on a collar. One map for the household, including the animal that keeps slipping the yard.

• GPS trackers for small cats

  Cats carry less than dogs and the category keeps pretending otherwise. Here is the size question without a sales pitch.

• GPS trackers for small dogs

  The honest version of this page: there is one size of Kin One, and on a very small dog that may be the wrong answer.

• Pet GPS trackers

  The hub above the dog and cat pages. What the hardware class actually is, what the monthly plans buy, and when a tag is enough.

• Pet microchip versus a GPS tracker

  A chip is a nametag under the skin for the shelter’s scanner. GPS is a radio on a collar for your phone. They do not replace each other.

• Radio pet trackers versus GPS collars

  A beep-finder is a radio you carry into the woods. A GPS collar is a pin on your phone where there are towers. Buy the job.

• Tractive alternatives

  Pet GPS search is usually a collar plus a monthly plan. This page is for people leaving that model — including Fi, and including Whistle after that line went away.
