Tractive
Smart Trackers for Cats & Dogs
Tractive helps pet owners keep their cats and dogs safe with real-time GPS tracking and health monitoring. Used by over 1 million pet parents worldwide, the lightweight, waterproof tracker attaches to your pet’s collar and connects to a mobile app—so you can see where they are, set up virtual fences with instant escape alerts, and track their activity, sleep, and overall wellness. Founded in 2012 in Austria, Tractive works in over 175 countries and is the only pet tracker that works with all major cellular networks around the world. In 2025, both Consumer Reports and The New York Times Wirecutter named Tractive the top pick for pet trackers.
