Whistle - GPS Pet Tracker - Gray

It's so difficult to find trackers for cats. Usually too big and this one is a little bulky for a cat but it's getting the job done. I'm always worried about where my cat Kyle has run off to. Now I can check exactly where he's located. He's traveling much more and farther than I thought. I can track his path on my phone or computer and receive text messages with the address of his location. Oh, and don't cut off the excess rubber on the sides. They have wire embedded in them for the antenna.

Pros: I get an alert whenever my dog slips out of the fence. No more worrying for hours while searching the neighborhood. Charge lasts for a full month. Cons: Price. Apparently can't track her exercise/activity unless I buy an ACTIVITY monitor which is ANOTHER $80. Plus, I have to pay the monthly fee to use the app. The $80 for the GPS tracker was high enough, the least they could do is include the activity monitoring with that price. It works great, and maybe I'll buy the activity monitor someday, but frankly, I don't walk my dog enough for it to be worth it at this time. Still, if you have an issue with your dog escaping, this works great. It seems a little bulky for small dogs, but my dog never shows sign of noticing it, so I guess it's fine.

My daughters dog is a sprinter and often escaped when we would open the door. She is a mid-sized timid rescue dog, unknown mix breed. She loves being outside, which is fine in our big back yard with our other dog, but would run away when the front door was open and she was not on a leash. I got Nikita the Whistle GPS tracker after she ran away while my mother-in-law was house sitting for us. We found her 24 hours later wandering the woods behind us, cold, scared, very hungry and alone, but now, I know where she is at, even while she is on a walk or at the dog park with my kids. I get a text when she leaves our yard. The set up was easy. The safety zone was adjustable. It has it set up so that I can know where to find her in our neighborhood if she gets out. I also get daily and weekly reports on her exercise, sleep and safety by text and email. That helps me know when I need to get the kids to take her for a walk or to the park. It even notifies me when the battery is getting low and it needs to be recharged. You charge it once a month for just a few hours. I was concerned at first when it said she had left the area, but was really in my lap, but then the settings kicked in and I now love it. It's not too bulky either. I have seen bad reviews on similar items, but I have not had any issues with it. They just need to work through it and figure it out before giving up on it. I love it. I recommend it for anyone who has dogs that love to escape. It gives me peace of mind and keeps her safe.

I purchased this gps tracker as my pet is indoors 90% of the time. I live in an urban area so cars are a major struggle to deal with since pets get run over frequently. This product works exactly as described. I know where my pet is with pretty decent accuracy (within a few feet). The battery lasts for half a week to a week, depending on how much you use the tracker but recharging the device is simple and quick.

We were not really, in fact not, worried about our dog. We were, however, wondering where our son took the car. So, we placed the tracker in the car. Now, we know where he is anytime he's driving our car.

My only complaint so far is that I didn't find the set up process to very user friendly. Other than that I'm loving it so far. It's nice to let my dog out (I live in a wooded area with no fence) and not have to worry he's going to get lost. I periodically check the app on my phone and can see exactly where he's at. He loves it too because he has some freedom now!

My dogs have been known to be escape artists and this gives us a bit of piece of mind. The tracker is easy to use, and you get notified via an app if they leave a predetermined location. You can track them using the app (as long as they are still wearing the collar). Easy installation and the app has a lot more features we don't use. I only gave 4 stars because there is a monthly charge for data, can't use your existing data plan.

It's not clear on packaging that it is a monthly subscription but once you get it unpackaged and set it up it asks for cc number and what plan you would like . It's very neat and awesome product. Once you get it on your dogs collar it's very difficult to remove so I wouldn't be worried about it falling off . I actually returned the product because I just personally just like a one time purchase than a month to month thing .
