Compatibility and sizing
This product is designed to accommodate small to large pets depending on the specific model variant. We recommend checking your pet’s weight and measurements against the product specifications before ordering. For multi-pet households, consider whether each pet will need individual access or if shared use is appropriate for this type of product.
Space requirements are modest — most standard apartments and houses have sufficient room for setup. If you have a particularly large breed or multiple large animals, verify the maximum capacity rating in the specs table below.

Buying guidance
Before purchasing, measure the intended placement area to confirm the product fits comfortably with clearance on all sides. Consider your pet’s temperament — some animals take a few days to adjust to new items in their environment. Placing it near their existing feeding or resting area can speed up the transition.
Maintenance is straightforward. Regular cleaning every 1-2 weeks will keep the product functioning at its best. Check for wear on any moving parts monthly. If you have questions about whether this product suits your specific pet breed or situation, our support team can help with sizing recommendations.

Setup took literally 5 minutes
Download app, create account, pair tracker via Bluetooth, attach to collar. My 70-year-old mother set up hers independently. If the tech was any simpler it would not exist.

Wish the app showed more historical data
Live tracking is great. I want to see where my cat went last Tuesday at 3pm. The history only goes back 24 hours on the basic plan. Would pay more for extended history if it were available.

Survived rain, mud, and a swim in the creek
My Lab went swimming with the tracker on. Still working perfectly. The waterproof rating is genuine. It has been through rain, mud puddles, and creek crossings without a single issue.

Accurate tracker, charging frequency is the tradeoff
More frequent location updates mean faster battery drain. I settled on 5-minute intervals which gives me a week of battery. Every 30 seconds drains it in 2 days. Find your balance.

Accurate tracking even in dense neighborhoods
Tested this in our suburban area with lots of trees and buildings. Location updates are accurate within about 10 feet. My escape artist Beagle got out twice and both times I found him within minutes using the app.
