Priceless Peace Of Mind
I tried to keep my cat indoor-only but like Houdini, he always found a way to go on walkabout. Fitting him with Tractive Cat Mini was a concession toward his happiness and my peace of mind.Location: this has been dead-on accurate and such a huge relief. Recently, I wasn’t able to return home before dark and got a notification kitty was 2 blocks away from our house. I drove right to the address shown in the app, activated the flashing light, called him and bingo, less than a minute later he came right to me and I got him home safe. I have also located him at other areas of the neighborhood during the day and when found he always blinks up at me rather bewildered, like “how did you know where I was?” There have been a number of other times I want to know exactly where he is and this tracker shows me. My only “wish for” is that live tracking is available in the ‘safe’ aka wifi zone. Sometimes I can shut down the program, restart, and have that option, but not always. I know the safe zone is for power saving but sometimes it’s more important to me to know precise location on the property and the wifi/radar tracking is occasionally iffy.Battery: tracking my cat 8-10 times a day for a minute or two each time seems to use about 10% or less per day (kitty is only allowed out during the day). As I learn to trust both tracker and kitty, I’m getting more comfortable not charging the tracker every night, and am satisfied with battery performance. I recently downloaded the program update, so look forward to even more improved location and battery life with the update.Comfort: not gonna lie, even the ‘mini’ takes up quite a bit of furry real estate. But my guy is 20 lbs (ahem, “big-boned”) and seems to wear it comfortably. I purchased the ‘harness clip’ for the Tractive and a dog-sized harness to fit him thinking that would be more comfortable having the tracker weight on his shoulders than having the tracker directly under his chin. Kitty doesn’t like the harness on/off routine so for now we’ll stick with the collar. The collar itself is very good quality and snaps on and off exactly as it should. It is easy to adjust for size and weight of cat (breakaway point). I took the bell off; just something to get in the way and didn’t really produce much sound to warn wildlife.Sound locator: very, very quiet. Hard to hear unless very, very close. The cat will hear it though, and perhaps could be trained that when the song plays it’s time to either come home or start looking for parent to give them a lift.Attachments: I found the best option for us is the flexible rubber encasement that fits onto the collar. It’s easy to remove the tracker to charge and reinstall it. That said, though handling carefully, after 3 weeks of use it has already torn and I’m currently securing it with rubber bands. I’ve ordered replacements, but more robust durability of this item would be most welcome to prevent loss.Subscription plans: I like that I can pay month to month, which has been super helpful during the adjustment period to see if Tractive will be a fit for me before committing to a long-term plan. Tractive is a good fit, so at some point I will consider a longer subscription to lower the monthly cost.App: great app, easy to use, and accurate so far. The out-of-safe-zone and re-enter notifications have worked perfectly. It’s fun to see the other Tractive kitties in the neighborhood and interesting to keep up with my guy’s fitness/sleep stats. But where app really shines is location, location, location. Friends I show this to are amazed and fascinated. A tip if you don’t have the upgraded plan that keeps track of history: screen shot your cat’s location or history map each day to keep a record of their travels. That can be texted to someone helping locate/pick up kitty. Again, the ability to live track in the safe-zone would be a bonus for more peace of mind. Pretty please. :-DValue: with coupons/sales, I was able to purchase the tracker for under $40. I feel the tracker itself is well-made and a good value. I’ve been recommending it to friends and they are enthusiastic.All in all, the Tractive Cat Mini has met and even exceeded expectations on just about every front. My cat is happier, gets more exercise and I am 1000% more relaxed during his absences knowing I can locate him any time I need to. I highly recommend this product for worried pet parents. Please keep working on development to decrease tracker size/weight without losing too much battery capacity, add live tracking to safe area, and beef up rubber encasement attachment. Then it will be absolutely perfect!The big guy and I thank you, Tractive. This was just what we needed!

My cat is one of those very skinny, long and small ones, even as an adult, she’s just very active and slim so I was worried it would be too bulky on her neck but that’s not the case at all. She seems to not be bothered by it and it doesn’t look like it stops her from doing any activity. So my mind is always at ease knowing I can find her anywhere anytime.Battery is truly not the best if you compare to an AppleTag, but it’s better than your phone battery which is great for a device this small. And my cat never stays more than 8hours outside, she always sleeps home and that’s when I charge it making sure she never goes outside during this time. I only turn the “Live Track” on when I am close to her location because it eats the battery like crazy!! Sometimes I see the battery at 85% and I turn the Live Track on and instantly goes to 72% in a matter of a minute. So it’s a great feature compared to Apple Tag but it has to be used in a smart way. With that being said, it also takes no time at all to change till 100%.I do recommend.

Não estava claro para mim q era necessário uma assinatura de forma anual de 7 dólares por mês

Lo compre para mi perro que es talla pequeña, la verdad es muy buen producto para los que tenemos perritos escapistas… puedes poner más de una valla de seguridad virtual y las puedes activar o desactivar dependiendo donde este tu peludo.Considerando la razón por la que compre un gps para mi perro, que es justo saber si se sale de mi jardín, vale la pena pagar la suscripción a la app, la básica te cuesta $220 al mes, casi lo que pagas por una plataforma de streaming, haciendo esa comparativa, la seguridad de mi perro lo vale 100%.Elegí este modelo porque no me interesaba tanto el resto de elementos que ofrece el especializado en perros, que monitorea hasta la calidad del sueño y este me resuelve el problema totalmente.La aplicación es bastante fácil de usar y puedes personalizarla, la información se actualiza cada 5 minutos, pero el modo LIVE te muestra casi a tiempo real donde anda tu perrito.El modelo es pequeño, no mini tipo airtag, mi perro es chaparrito, tipo maltés y no le estorba para nada, es como del tamaño de un estuche de audífonos inalámbricos.Espero le sirva a alguien esta información, porque cuando busque no vi nada que explicara esto y para mi es de lo más relevante, que me hubiera ayudado a decidirme más rápido por este producto.
