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 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.

• 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.
