“I have two wayward Bengal crosses and after one of them went on a 4 day adventure that felt like a gap year,I got PetTracer for both of them. Not only is it interesting bordering on obsession creating monitoring their territories and how they evolve, but it means I can always check in on their whereabouts,and sometimes,if necessary, go and find/rescue them. We live in an urban area and I decided to let them go outside,but roads are terrifying, and sometimes so are foxes and other cats. This feels like a compromise that doesn't crush their spirit but allows me to keep tabs. The only reasons I'm not giving this the full 5 stars-are that the cost is a lot,and the coverage isn't perfect - and we have yet to be able to make the radio function for portable tracking work - but in terms of feeling close to them at all times, and being able to find them when it's time to come home, Pet Tracer is a brilliant investment.”
“Excellent customer service, very helpful advice and explanation. I researched several options before choosing PetTracer and I am glad I did. Our boy disappears regularly for days at a time and now we know his territory and that he is mostly over at the neighbours farm. It did take me a while to fully understand the way the collar works and why/how Diggle could be home and the last gps signal was still showing him as away - which is until the next communication with the collar. It didn't concern Diggle to get used to wearing the collar even as a semi-feral. I will say the catch is not a safety catch as I cannot pull it open without unclasping, so I fit it quite loose and we did lose it once, but of course were able to go mobile with the base station and find the collar in a field of peas which was a good test. The metal keeper on the fabric part of the collar was too big and useless so I removed it and stitched the spare end down which worked well. The battery lasts a good week on fast and the reminder by email that the battery is getting low is very useful. An alert of some kind when the collar/your cat comes back into range would give greater peace of mind I think. Overall I am very pleased with the PetTracer.”
“Having researched many cat collars I came to the conclusion I wanted GPS and radio tracking enter petTracer. I took the 2 year option which suits me. I can honestly say this is worth its wait in gold just for the peace of mind of knowing my cats location at any one time. I am on my 2nd collar as the first one failed but this is where customer service comes into play it was very easy to get in contact with them and had a replacement within a week well done petTracer.”
“I would like to thank Pet tracer for helping me relocate both my cats. One went missing today for eleven hours. Zoe answered every email question promptly and sympathetically. I have seen other reviews having a go at pet tracers range and capabilities and to be fair i was beginning to doubt the thing was working. But with the patient help from the team all came good. My problem was more with the iphone 13 i was using connecting to the base station when i went mobile. My only criticism would be they need to make some youtube videos of how to set up a search with iphones and android, just so you can copy and make sure you have set up everthing right. Other than that i would highly recommend pet tracer to anyone.”
“I cannot recommend the PetTracer product and their customer service enough. Long story short, we found our blind, 13 month old kitty, Mei, hiding in the engine of a car about half a mile away due to the PetTracer collar having been missing for over 12 hours. I genuinely think she'd have been lost forever without it. Not only that, Anna, from PetTracer, who was helping us with settings remotely as we searched for Mei, was compassionate, helpful and engaged throughout the entire day we were searching for her.
Mei's collar wasn't picking up satellites as (unbeknownst to us at the time) she was surrounded by engine block but we took the home station out and used it as a mobile unit and it gave us enough of a radio signal (finally!) to locate her. We live in the countryside and there's a lot of space to search hence the time it took to locate her.
The location isn't alway 100% accurate, as some people have said, BUT we know where to start looking for them if they don't come home. The collars are also bulky (although light) for small cats but our don't even seem to notice they're wearing them.
Perhaps the collars wouldn't work so well in a very built up area but for me, in the middle of nowhere, they're great.”
“Our cat, Marmalade, kept staying away from home for many, many hours. Pet tracer now lets us see where he's gone and gives us peace of mind that he's not shut in somewhere. The radiotracer is an excellent addition allowing us the trace him if he's inside a building and the GPS signal fails.”
“For cats who don't roam that far but who get themselves shut in other people's houses, shed and garages, petTracer is a godsend. I've tracked our cats down to locked garages, to gardens where they have been having a stand-off with another cat and safely retrieved them when they have crossed the busy main road nearby. I've managed to locate and retrieve lost collars (which at the price is a VERY good thing!) It gives me confidence that they are safe edven when they're out of sight.”
“in all honesty i expected more for the price, i think the app is very poorly made and you aren’t able to see exactly where your cat has been there is no live tracking either and i think for the price i paid there should definitely be more to the app. The only positive part about the tracker is that the collar itself stays on well.”
“I can't speak highly enough of PetTracer. I tried a couple of other GPS trackers, but the short battery life was problematic or the accuracy of the GPS not great.
PetTracer collars can go uncharged for at least 48hrs, whilst pinging the cats' location every 10 minutes.
It helped find and rescue our 7 month old kitten who was missing and found pinned in a corner of a garage roof by a neighbouring aggressive cat and too scared to move. It's also helps get the 2 kittens in on warm nights by pin pointing exactly where they are so we know where to find them.
The customer service has been excellent. From responding to emails on a Friday evening when first setting up the collars, to double checking that they were working properly.
The collars fit both kittens well, an additional padded spacer being needed for the smaller one, but both don't seem to notice them at all.
Overall PetTracer offers complete peace of mind that we know the cats are safe and well, and if they do ever get lost or trapped in somewhere we can find them.
Thank you very, very much.”
“This is the best tracker I have ever come across , very light and as its distributed into the whole collar so not off set weight my kitten does not ever realise she has it on , when I tried the trackers that fit onto the collar she hated it !!! This one is so comfy and she doesn’t even know it’s on . So easy to keep tabs on your kitty and being able to connect to your phones hotspot enabling it to go mobile to find your car further afield out side of your house wifi is just magical . Never again will I have a sleepless night not knowing where my kitten is . Well worth the money for peace of mind . Absolutely love it 😍”
“I had a previous tracker for my cat which I got because she went missing one night a couple of years ago. By the utmost good luck, we found her within 24 hours but if there'd been an inch of bad luck involved, we might never have seen her again. The first tracker was great for me but it had flashing lights which must have been stressing her out as within 3 months, she had groomed herself bald on her underside. So back to square one.Then I found PetTracer and learned that is has no flashing lights - only an LED which you can activate if you're looking for your pet in the dark. PetTracer is fantastic. She has adapted to it really well - as I say, there are no flashing lights and she appears to be very comfortable with it on. Best of all, the battery lasts the whole weekend (if we're away) and it can last for longer if you change the tracking mode - which we'll be doing when we go for longer holidays. Absolutely brilliant and what peace of mind. Worth every penny.”
“It has really help put our mind at ease when Zeus goes out. We found him caught in bush full of brambles, he was so lucky. Now we can find him within 5 minutes if needed! Amazing to see how far he actually travels.”
“I struggled initially to set it up, but the customer service was so supportive and patient with me. I’m delighted with my purchase and it’s so much better than other trackers I’ve tried in my car. He is only small so others weighted him down but petTracer is much more comfortable in him. It’s great peace of mind knowing where he is when he’s out exploring. I highly recommend it!”
“We have recently moved house to a completely new area. Both our cats had lived at our previous home for over 10 years and loved their out door life.
I chose Pet Tracer mostly because of the size of the collar.
Collars are not a bother to my cats at all they hardly notice them
Set up of Pet Tracer - you need a laptop and Wi-Fi and be prepared to download some USB drivers for the first base set up
Once you are all set up this solution works like a dream. It’s given me such piece of mind letting them loose in their new neighbourhood, I made an excellent choice :)”
“After my sister lost her cat i wanted to keep an eye on my kitten!! Pet tracer is brilliant. I chose it because can fit on a small cat with an insert. Lots of other makes were to big for him!! Its not to heavy and is extremely accurate. I can see where he is at any time of the day. Thoroughly recommend!!”
“When I eventually got it connected to my computer it is really good. I can keep track of my baby now. She is a naughty tortie and likes to get inside things!”
