Tractive GPS collar review: How does it stack up against the Whistle GO Explore?

Tractive GPS LTE

$49.99

The GPS secures very well to collars • Fully waterproof/weatherproof • Notifications are accurate and fast • Companion app allows for robust customization • including virtual fences. • Activity monitoring is in-depth • and attentive pet owners will appreciate it • Built-in light is helpful for late-night walks

Battery life was much shorter than expected • Live tracking doesn't update as fast as it should • Built-in alarm was more frightening to my dog than it was helpful (mileage may vary)

The Tractive GPS is overall a great pet tracker on a budget. Although the lackluster battery life can be a pain to stay on top of, the tracker features enough bells and whistles to make it worth its low price compared to more expensive options.
